Yesterday I had the unique opportunity to go to the Muslim Quarter of the old city. I will share some highlights from my trip - I had a great time and learned a lot!
 |
| our Israeli intern, Udi, showed us around the Muslim Quarter. Here we are infront of the Damascus gate, which leads to that part of the old city. One thing I learned was that language is a powerful political statment in the Muslim Quarter. We were very careful to speak in English. |
After walking through the bustling marketplace, our first stop was a tahini factory:
 |
| lots of varieties! |
 |
| the sesame seeds are ground by stone |

| amazing view! |
