Our first stop was the Hadassah Hospital to see the stained glass Chagall windows. They were actually pretty neat considering that he did weird modern art. The Hadassah women are responsible for the funding of this lovely hospital. There is a story about the Hadassah women.
Some Hadassah women were killed in a car accident and Heaven was full for the night so they were sent to Hell for that evening. The next day the angel appears to take them to Heaven. The representative from Hell was so glad that the angel was there. The angel asked why and the representative from Hell said, "They have only been here one night and have already made arrangements for air conditioning."
We did go through a very large Holocaust Museum which was interesting but awfully depressing. So much for that.
Our last item of the day was the tunnel to see beneath the Western Wall. That was absolutely fascinating. It was huge and at least a three story building beneath. Whew, that was a great way to end our trip.
The Western Wall even closer to the Holy of Holies under the one you see on the surface and farther along to the left of the wall where you see most Jews praying. Notice some slips of paper in the cracks here too.
We have Brian to thank for helping us find a great camera. It is too bad I was a bit shaky taking this particular night shot. 😟. The camera has been phenomenal and has been great. It would even be better in the right hands but even novices like us do fairly well most of the time.
Now to return to reality and a long, long flight back home. It is time to get home to do laundry and eventually catch up on all of our old mail. Plus we have to be prepared for those scary Trick or Treaters on Saturday.
