Jerusalem Day, Remember the Har HaBayit

Jerusalem Day Song

My prayer is a song
A Psalm with an ever-changing Melody
Levels of meaning dance around familiar and foreign words
I stand in Song and Silence
Neither a more prominent communication with G-d
Drink the essence, the sweet savor in the unity that is Jerusalem

Rachael Alice Orbach



Here is how we want to see the Har Habayit, back in Jewish hands, with the Holy Temple built may it be done speedily in our days!  This is like the view if you were sitting on Mt. of Olives, with a super zoom camera.  We need the Cohenim, the Levi'im and all of Am Yisrael to really pray for this to happen!

On the way to Tiberius for a Shabbat at Archim, Memories of David Yshay Orbach ז"ל

 I took this picture while I was the passenger in the car when  David Yshay Orbach ז"ל  I went for a Shabbat of the supporters of Archim,  I had thought that we could go out on the boardwalk during the Shabbat and enjoy Tiberius. I was wrong.  The hotel Baali has a VIEW of the lake, but it is far up on the mountain, and it would be a hard walk, both up and down.  So when we finally got to the place, after making many wrong turns, we had to stay in the hotel for the whole Shabbat, and not take any walks like I had planned.  As it was the hotel was ok, the beds were comfortable and the food was great.  The talks were about Torah subjects, the Mechitza right down the middle, so I could hear and see what was going on if I sat next to the Mechitza.   We got our own table, so we could speak together then.   One of the happy memories of David Yshay Orbach ז"ל Rachael Alice Orbach +

The Rothschild Hospital

This is the site of the first hospital in Jerusalem. It was established by Rothschild, in 1888, and in 1939 Hadassah took it over.  The building is still standing and is in use as a medical training center.  I was passing by on HaNeviim Street,  and I couldn't resist to take in this bit of Jerusalem history. See you on the street! Rachael Alice www.travelinghairsalon.weebly.net

View of the Russian Convent in Eini Kerem.

I don't usually post pictures of churches on this blog, but I have seen this from afar many times.  When you are driving to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, this view keeps popping up so you might get distracted by the view.  You might wonder about the golden dome church and why it is up there? Well this link:  http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/RussianEinKerem.html   Will tell you all about it. If you want to go to visit, remember that visitors are not allowed inside the church, but the view and the exterior might be enough to justify the trip. Since you have to go into the Hadassah Hosiptal complex, you will have to pay the parking fee for the hospital, so don't be surprised. Have a good trip! Rachael Alice
