WESTERN WALL - Jerusalem
@matteoacitelli
The Western Wall is a holy site for the Jewish people, a place for prayer and religious & national gatherings. The Western wall is one of four huge supporting walls built during the 1st century BCE, when Herod renovated the Second Temple. Herod created a huge courtyard on the Temple Mount, with the temple at its center. The original height of the Wailing Wall is around 30 meters, and it is half- kilometer long. It was built on top of the original stones of Jerusalem. Fillings and arches were built within the space between the walls and the mountain, and above them a paved 144 thousand- square- meter courtyard the size of 12 modern soccer fields was constructed.

Hezekiah’s Tunnel - City of David
קובי הראתי
When Jerusalem was preparing defenses against the approaching Assyrian army in the 8th century B.C.E., King Hezekiah decided to protect the water source by diverting its flow deep into the city with an impressive tunnel system. "It was Hezekiah who stopped up the spring of water of Upper Gihon, leading it downward west of the City of David; Hezekiah prospered in all that he did." (II Chronicles 32:30)
This engineering feat was accomplished by digging a 1,750-foot (533 meter) tunnel into the mountain. An ancient stone carving found near the entrance describes the incredible operation.
Today, trekking through Hezekiah’s Tunnel in knee-high water and learning about its history is a highlight for visitors to Jerusalem.

THE DORMITION ABBEY
@michelle.madonna
The monastic church- “the Dormition” is one of the most prominent churches in Jerusalem due to its size, beauty and location that overlooks the old city. The church was built on a plot which the German emperor Wilhelm the 2nd received from the Ottoman sultan during his visit to the Holy Land in 1898, and it was inaugurated in 1910. The emperor decided to establish here a large church that would demonstrate the strength of Germany, and the building does in fact give a feeling of a fortress.
The church stands out due to its round shape, unlike most of Jerusalem’s churches that are rectangular. The central building is round, as well as the wings and towers surrounding it. Also the cone-shaped dome has a form that is distinct from the other churches of Jerusalem. Another unique characteristic of the church is the integration of motifs from east and west- a massive neo-Romanesque building, which is similar to ancient cathedrals in Europe, combined with white and red stones that characterize the Mameluke architecture. The narrow alleys emphasize the vast dimensions of the church, which is 34 meters high- like a 12 story building. The church was established where, according to tradition, Miriam, mother of Jesus, fell to her death- sleep. The church’s name derives from this event- “The Dormition”, meaning “coma”. The interior of the church is impressive, with a mosaic floor. The mosaic presents a Latin quotation of the Book of Psalms: “May the Lord bless you from Zion”- a verse referring to Mount Zion where the church stands. The mosaic also depicts the Ark of Noah that drifted on stormy waves. This is a common metaphor in Christianity, symbolizing the belief that only its followers will be saved from the Great Flood at the far distant future.

Dead Sea ❤ Забираем дочку с тренировки. В машину вместе с Нойкой входит амбре спортзала.
⠀
Я: - Нойка, ну ты и воняешь!
Н: - Мама, это натуральный запах спортсменов
Я: - Это натуральный запах спортсменов именно нашей семьи!
Н: - К сожалению ♀️
⠀
Тут в разговор встряёт муж, удивленно: - Почему к сожалению?!!
Я: - К сожалению - это про запах, а вы спортсмены очень даже не к сожалению!
⠀
Но иногда их прибить хочется, когда свои вещички вывешивают проветриться в ванной, на балконе или в лучшем случае на крыше ♀️ а иногда и в гостинной на стульях
⠀
Вот где обычно нормальные люди спортивные вещи сушат?
⠀
Это я так, бурчу о наболевшем а про Мертвое море на фото мы еще поговрим
⠀
Shabbat Shalom y'all! Don't forget to smile!
