Aguda Synagoge, Nakalot Jerusalem

Fabulous light playing on the stones in front of the synagogue!  I love the intricate carvings of the Zodiac signs, the prayer for protection of women, and the fact that the tzeddakah sign is also in English -- so non-Hebrew speakers can find it and do charity too ....

Thank you for commenting. Are you familiar with the neighborhood?

Also I and had never come across the place.

Fascinating doorfront, Meir.  What are the different time clocks for I am wondering. A shul without many windows to distract worship I am thinking. And an amazing door of wonderful panels.  Good photo indeed. aloha, gerry

Meir, Great photo with all of the layers of textures and tones rendered very well. 

Thank you for commenting

Thank you again very much for commenting. There is in the neighborhood  a cistern which was used years ago before there was a state of Israel. The cistern collected the rain water during the winter for dry months later on. Jerusalem does not get one drop of rain from about Easter until the fall. 

The clocks are set for the times for evening, morning and afternoon prayers. The leftt column for the sabbath and the right for weekdays. No idea what the middle column is for. As you know the times change according to sunset/sunrise.

Clocks;  simliar idea on Yafo Street with a sun-dial clock also. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=7546711
