One of the busiest gates that leads into Jerusalem's Old City is the Jaffa Gate. Jaffa Gate has two entrances: a large iron gate entrance for people and a larger passageway for vehicles to enter the city. The stones that surround this gate are pock holed from israeli bullets when the Israeli Defense Forces recaptured the city during the six day war in 1967. Jaffa Gate gives off an ancient feel as if it is a porthole to history itself - which it is for the people who pass through.
When you enter the gate the first sights you see are Arab cart merchants selling breads and beverages. Taxi's and foot traffic squeeze through the gates and in this collage you feel you are entering the old middle east. Ottoman hotels mixed with swiss and christian hostels pass by you as you make your way through the congestion to a fork in the road. One way is to the Arab Shuk (marketplace) the other way is through the Armenian quarter that connects you to the Jewish Quarter. Taking the fork to the Jewish Quarter (the Arab Shuck is covered in our next day trip) you walk along a narrow road with vehicle traffic passing and honking just inches away. Walking for about a hundreds yards, you finally make a left on to St. James Road which leads into the Jewish Quarter. In the narrow passage ways of the Jewish quarter you pass mothers with many children, religious people with blue and strings flying from their shirts, Rabbis and tourists rushing here and there.
One of the first Jewish sites you pass along the main narrow artery into the Jewish Quarter is Birchat HaTorah - a seminary for newly religious Jewish men, followed by the Ohr haChaim synagogue dating back centuries. At the end of this narrow pathway road one comes to opening overlooking a line of 6th Century Roman - Byzantine cardo pillars. Young israeli children can often be seen playing soccer between the ancient pillars. To left is a large Chabad House and straight ahead you can see the newly rebuilt Hurvah Synagogue towering above. Beside the synagogue is a vacated minaret that was originally built by Moslems beside the rubble of the old Hurvah synagogue. As you make your way around the Hurvah, you find your self in a large courtyard where soldiers, children, tourists and students all blend together in a tapestry of living history. Taking Tiferet Yisrael road you make your way through a small commercial area which leads to steps that take you down to the holiest Jewish site: The Western Wall (a day trip unto itself). But for now you are resting on an ancient stone wheel in the middle of the Jewish Quarter, catching your breath before moving on in history.
