Personalities, Places, And Moments In The Courtyards Of Yerushalayim And Its Neighborhoods Meah Shearim: Jerusalem of the old Yishuv. A city of alleys, walls, and shadows, but so much more. It’s a city of Jews who want only to be able to serve their Creator, simply and purely. Well known writer Aryeh Ehrlich and photographer Baruch Ya’ari have teamed to produce this fascinating photo journal of Meah Shearim: the alleys, the shuls, the shops and workshops, Shabbos and holidays, the happy moments and the sad ones, in this legendary neighborhood that was a legend long before it was a place to live.
