 in Arabic, where the ancient Temples once stood, in Jeruslem\'s Old City. Tens of thousands of Jews flocked to the Western Wall in Jerusalem today for prayers that included the Priestly Blessing or Birkat Cohenim, a special prayer held three times per year for the Cohenim, believed to be the descendants of the priests of the ancient Temples, and Israel deployed additional police and riot police to quell any potential disturbances.<br />\r\n+++++++++++<br />\r\nThe woman was crying, which unfortunately does not appear well in the photo. I think she was crying out of happiness to have found policemen to share the Succot prayer with - or at least her husband did. Women would never offer men a chance to prayer in Judaism. Unheard of. Either that or maybe she was glad to be seeing Jews pray - including her husband - so close to where the ancient Temple once stood. It IS a volatile land.',700,700);)

, were attacked by stone-throwing Palestinians youths believing they were Jews and intent on praying. Israeli forces are on additional high alert for the anniversary of the outbreak of the 2nd \'Intifada,\' or Palestinian uprising called the al-Aqsa Intifada, in 2000 when Prime Minister Ariel Sharon toured the Temple Mount that lead to massive clashes.<br />\r\n+++++++++++++<br />\r\nThere is definitely an increase in tension in the Old City but not sure if violence will repeat itself as it did on Sunday. The potential is certainly there-inactivity on the Palestinian part to stop Israelis settlements, shown in the US three-way meeting, and even the Intifada anniversary. Here these dates are remembered.<br />\r\nShot by putting the camera on my leg. I was sitting down on a chair of a vendor. The policeman certainly knew I was shooting photographs. Nothing was hidden but it was a it like shooting with an old Roliflex where one looks down, not into the viewfinder, that is disconcerting to people being photographed.',700,700);)

 on 23 September 2009 in the holy days between Rosh Hashana, or New Years, leading up to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, This area of the Western Wall tunnels in Jerusalem\'s Old City is supposed to be the closet to the Holy of Holies, and where the ancient Temples stood, only meters away on what is now the Temple Mount.',700,700);)
, speaks on his phone outside a protest tent at the government buildings complex, in Jerusalem on September 21, 2009 protesting against any negotiations on settlements or the freezing of settlement building by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he leaves the country for New York and the UN General Assembly. US President Barack Obama is due to hold meetings with both Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas before holding a \'photo-op\' trilateral meeting with them, in order to advance the chances of beginning a Peace process.<br />\r\n+++++++++<br />\r\nSound familiar? It will be interesting television, and I don\'t want to miss it tomorrow.<br />\r\n"No grand expectations," would be a grand understatement.',700,700);)

It is the flag of the city of Jerusalem and was made by a Philippine businesswoman at a cost of some $120,000. It took six people 120 days to make the flag and was stamped as the largest in the world by the Guinness World Records.',700,700);)
