Hebron Jewish Community
Jewish worshipers pray inside the grand hall of the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Ma'arat HaMachpela) during the Haye Sarah Shabbat. Jews have access to the entire site only ten days during the year. The rest of the time access to the ancient and sacred building is limited to one section while Muslims use the rest as a mosque for worship. Some six hundred Jews live in the heart of Hebron's old city surrounded by over 160,000 Palestinian inhabitants..Hebron, Israel. 09/11/2007.Photo © J.B. Russell/Blue Press
