After a really emotional goodbye in Tel
Aviv we arrived in Jerusalem this afternoon.
Mr. Wesche welcomed us
at the Damaskus Gate and guided us to the Austrian Hospice, our home
for the next two days. After he explained us the history of the State
of Israel on the roof top of the Hospice, we went on a trip through
the old town, with its narrow streets and its bazaar to the Church of
the Holy Sepulcher, the place were the grave of Jesus was supposed to
be.
While we were strolling through the the
historic streets, with its small shops, shouting merchants and its
exotic smells we could hear the muezzins of several mosques calling
the muslims for praying. That was really impressive!
After sunset, we went to the Western
Wall where the Jews go for praying. All the boys had to put on a
kippa and Mr. Wesche explained us the conflict between the Jewish and
the Muslims, which becomes visible in this city.
Tomorrow we go to Yad Vashem, the
important Holocaust Memorial.
