Hebron Jewish Community
Rabbis pass by the wall of the Tomb of the Patriarchs (Ma'arat HaMachpela) where for 700 years Jews were not allowed to climb past the seventh step. Today Jews have access to part of the ancient site except for tens days of the year when they can worship in the entire building. The rest of the site is used as a mosque for Muslim worshipers...Hebron, Israel. 31/10/2007..Photo © J.B. Russell/Blue Press
