This is David from JUC, and a coffee shop owner from the Old City
This is a view of the Hurva Synagogue, which is in the Jewish Quarter of the Old CityThis is the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, the Mount of Olives in the background, you can see lots of graves up htere, and you can see the Palm Sunday (walled) road coming down from the Mount of Olives,
Looking down from the bell tower, this is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The smaller dome is over the rock of Calvary, the larger dome is over the tomb of Jesus. This is the most sacred spot for Christians in the world. There is much evidence that is truly is the place where He died, was buried, and rose again. The garden tomb, which is outside the city walls is a nice place to visit, but does not have the evidence to support it being the actual tomb

The Bell Tower of the Church of the Redeemer that we climbed to take the pics
David and Ben sipping mint tea that the shop owner gave us
Shabaan, the money changer, was happy to change my dollars into shekels for me, very nice hospitable man, he also owns the shop above, and ordered the tea for us.
