Hi,
for the second time I have come to Jerusalem this month. Thanks to new and more precise work schedule on weekends, I was now free again.
After Nicole and I chill out on Friday only on a roof terrace with great views of Jerusalem have, it was Saturday morning really begins. choir concert in the Dormition Abbey . Accompanied by our new Prior Ralph a choir sang various pieces from Austria. Since I am usually not so active classical music listeners, the program and was written in Hebrew, I forget the name now. Nevertheless, it was a great start to the weekend to relax and just the right thing. Add to this that I have learned acoustics of the church just love only. The hour prayers of the monks are great to listen to. In the afternoon we went to Ramallah . A city that has very different faces, and can show within a few minutes. We're hardly out of the bus, we were in turmoil. On Manarah Square, the center of town, there is a slightly more roundabout. people criss-cross the streets, drive cars as they want and the police have used to get a few opportunities to control the chaos. A place where I could not stay longer voluntarily wanted and so we went first towards the old town. It showed a different picture. Quiet streets, little excitement, old building - so the whole thing had some Italian, romantic character. Few minutes later we found ourselves again but in a park in the style of the 60s. Next to us, Arab women, who watched from a distance their children play and enact on the other side, a couple who was just about the typical scenes of a wedding film . Again a few minutes later we were in the precious quarter. Chic, big houses and a beautiful avenue was to be seen. Later, I then looked more closely at the Clock and behold, two minutes later and a street corner on, we arrived back at our starting point, the large roundabout.
What I went on Sunday, has half of my culture weekend rounded . Took the bus to the clinic Haddassah down and have me there in the synagogue, the famous Chagall window looked . Getting there was a bit complicated, because some security people did not know that there is such a window, but to compensate I have found a very nice volunteers at the windows. The good lady has me strangely addressed to German and behold, she grew up in Cologne. Long time they lived in Bonn before she came to Israel 40 years ago. Was funny to speak in this clinic Ehrenfeld and Cologne. In the end there was even a bonus for me. Had to pay any entrance fee and got an exclusive listen to the German leadership to tape. In the end I was then an hour in the synagogue and had me exactly the windows with their great colors looked . Chagall was a master;) So that was my weekend, a cultural where I'm at the end landed in Cologne. Rather, in the beautiful Cologne Ehrenfeld. Now I hope that you all still doing well and you enjoy the first really warm days. Enough wrote ...
your greetings to Cologne,
Martin
