Strange, unbelievable, irreal place home of freaks and untolerance !!
When you walk through that neighborhood, you cross the path of people clad and hair-dressed as in the 19th century central european jewish ghettos. And obviously you are not welcomed. A seven year old fellow traveller labelled them the 'the men in black'. If you are not like them, you should not go there on the shabbat or on a jewish holy day because they may stone you. An oddity and a provocation in a city which we dreamed to be a place of peaceful religious co-habitation. A good example of a successful brain-washing.
