Shabbat impressions




Why they are in such hurry? Whenever I meet them, they always run. I went to Me'a She'arim - the Jewish orthodox neighbourhood in Jerusalem and asked about it. 'That's our code' - one of them told me. 


There are two things you do, if you are an orthodox Jew. Studying Torah and praying. So where to hurry?
Unless it is Friday afternoon and in few minutes starts the Shabbat. Then you run. Straight to the Western Wall.

Two faces of Kosovo


View on Prizren from Kaljaja hill. On the first plan - ruins of a building in serbian quarter destroyed by Albanians during ethnic unrest in 2004. Remains of the quarter are protected by KFOR soldiers.
