The Tower of David (Hebrew: מגדל דוד, Migdal David, Arabic: برج داود, Burj Daud), also known as the Jerusalem Citadel, is an ancient citadel located near the Jaffa Gate entrance to western edge of the Old City of Jerusalem.
The citadel that stands today dates to the Mamluk and Ottoman periods. It was built on the site of an earlier ancient fortification of the Hasmonean, Herodian-era, Byzantine and Early Muslim periods, after being destroyed repeatedly during the last decades of Crusader presence in the Holy Land by Ayyubid and Mamluk rulers.[1] It contains important archaeological finds dating back over 2,000 years including a quarry dated to the First Temple period, and is a popular venue for benefit events, craft shows, concerts, and sound-and-light performances.( Wikipedia)

The location for the first synagogue in South Australia was selected by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation, off of Rundle Street, on the street that would later be named Synagogue Place. The land fronting Rundle Street was bought from George Morphett for £280 in 1848, with the synagogue completed two years later in August 1850. The building was small, 35 by 25 feet, and had a capacity for 150 worshipers. It was made of stone and of an ‘Egyptian’ style, which was popular among Jewish populations in Australia during the nineteenth century. This style, reminiscent of ancient temples and sygnifying the ancient origins of Judaism, made the synagogue stand out from the surrounding buildings. The interior of the synagogue featured a partially screened women’s gallery, polished cedar pews and bronze chandeliers, and was described by The South Australian Register in 1850 as ‘handsome, appropriate, and strongly demonstrative of the liberal spirit which characterises the Jewish community in this province.’ The combined costs of buying and building the synagogue were reportedly £950. This was raised by the Adelaide Hebrew Congregation through loans and donations from both the Jewish and wider Christian communities.
The synagogue, however, became inadequate within ten years of its establishment, as the Jewish community in Adelaide outgrew its capacity. Extensions were added in 1859 and 1860, with additional meeting chambers constructed adjacent to the synagogue and an extension added to the women’s gallery. However, these were not sufficient enough to meet the needs of the community, with thoughts of building a new synagogue already being entertained. In May 1870 it was decided to build on the existing site next to the original synagogue. The new synagogue was designed by South Australian architects Edmund Wright, Edward Woods and Edward Hamilton in an ‘Italian’ style, which drew influences from the architecture of the Italian renaissance. This stone building had a capacity for 370 people, dwarfing the adjacent 1850 synagogue that was converted into a classroom. This substantial building cost £1,065 and consolidated the position of the Jewish community in South Australia. The entrance to this building originally faced Rundle Street and featured a lawn and fountain leading up to it. However, the construction of the Rundle Buildings on the corner of Rundle Street and Synagogue Place during the building boom of the 1890s forced the entrance of the synagogue to move to its current location in Synagogue Place.
Further changes were made to the building in 1938, with both the synagogue and Rundle Buildings receiving a new Art Deco cement facade designed by architect Chris A. Smith. This remodeling scheme also extended the building to the footpath and included the addition of an entrance porch containing a memorial tablet to Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The synagogue building has been altered little since these renovations.
Synagogue Place remained the centre of the Jewish community in South Australia until they relocated in 1990 to a new synagogue in Glenside. The original synagogue building has since become a nightclub.
Pedestrians and cyclists all engrossed in their own worlds by the Sea Mosque in Jaffa.
The al-Bahr Mosque or Masjid al-Bahr (Arabic: مسجد البحر; Hebrew: מסגד הים), meaning The Sea Mosque, is the oldest extant mosque in old Jaffa. Built in 1675, it is situated on the HaAliya HaShniya Street near the harbour. Due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, fishermen and sailors used the mosque, as well as nearby inhabitants of the surrounding area. It was built by the 'Azza Alazzeh family.
The Hebrew (Polygrammate hebraeicum) is a fairly abundant species of caterpillar in my neck of the woods. Typically, the green, earlier instars are seen resting on the undersides of tupelo leaves.
During the last stage of development, the caterpillar will transform into this blue-gray phase to mimic the trunk of the host tree, where it will burrow to pupate.

Haifa (Hebrew : H̱efa)
Israel’s third largest city and one of its prettiest, Haifa has a lot to offer visitors. It has the country’s largest port, a particularly active beach and is the home of the World Center of the Bahai Faith. Surrounded by abundant nature sites, the city contains an interesting mix of modern neighborhoods and older districts; churches and mosques; mountain and sea.
Haifa is a multi-faceted city with several unique characteristics making it an attractive place to visit. Its proximity to the sea and its active port contribute to its prominence. The bustling port area draws merchants, shoppers and tourists. The beautiful beaches are popular for sports and recreation, and are filled with people during summer weekends. In addition, because of their excellent surfing conditions, the beaches serve many of Israel’s top sailing enthusiasts and host sailing competitions and other sporting events.
With residents from the three largest religions as well as from various minority faiths, Haifa is also a symbol of outstanding co-existence and tolerance.

[ Inscription in Hebrew ]
"In sacred memory of the six million Jewish heroes and martyrs who perished at the hands of the Nazis."
The 20th Century is the century of abject horror. Evil committed on an industrial scale. Political ideology, rather than religious wars precipitated it, whether it be the millions slaughtered under Stalin or Mao, or the singularly shocking genocide of European Jews by the Nazis. You can understand why I hate politics so much. Humanity deserves better and whenever political views divide us this is a cancer eating away at our souls.
The memorial we see here in the Melbourne General Cemetery is dedicated to the six million Jewish people who perished between 1941 and 1945 in what is now called The Holocaust or Shoah. Literally, a "holocaust" is a sacrificial offering completely burned upon an altar. There is no need here to retell exactly how these victims of Shoah died, but it is also true their bodies were consumed in ovens specifically made for the task.
It is all too easy today to dismiss this as madness and evil. Hitler and his cronies were monsters. But the fact is that they were also human beings. The root of that evil lies within the heart of every person. Until we recognise that fact, history will repeat itself. The shadow side of the human soul is an abyss that cannot be plumbed. Only a willingness to live humbly before God and seek forgiveness for our own misdeeds towards our fellow human beings can redeem us from falling into actions that break the sacred cord that ties us all together.
This moving memorial, stands as a witness and a signal warning to every one of us.
There's another Hebrew inscription here too:
"Here are buried bones, ashes & soap
Made from the human remains of our martyred brethren slain in Europe by the Nazis
May their memory live forever
1939 - 1945"

Prima di tutto vennero a prendere gli zingari...e fui contento perchè rubacchiavano...
Poi vennero a prendere gli ebrei
e stetti zitto perché mi stavano antipatici.
Poi vennero a prendere gli omosessuali
e fui sollevato perché mi erano fastidiosi.
Poi vennero a prendere i comunisti
ed io non dissi niente perché non ero comunista.
Un giorno vennero a prendere me
e non c’era rimasto nessuno a protestare..
(Bertold Brecht)
( First of all they came to take the gypsys… and I was happy because they stole.
…..then they came to taking the Hebrew and I was silence because they were unpleasant to me.
….then they came to take the homosexuals and I was raised because me they were annoying.
….then they came to take the communists and I did not say nothing because I was not communist.
One day they came to take me and not there was remained nobody to protest.)
(Bertold Brecht)
