Ambassador
Keyes' audio message to Mesora
Images:
- Wailing Wall - Old City, Jerusalem
- Jewish cemetery that reaches from
the walls of Old Jerusalem
up an entire mountainside. It's breathtaking.
- Ancient archways underneath Jerusalem.
Instead of tearing down to rebuild over the centuries, new structures
would be built over the old. Those large, heavy stones are not
the easiest things to move!
- Entrance to the underground tunnels
below the City of Old Jerusalem.
