Tisha b'Av March
Organized by the Women in Green, this march is a revival of an ancient tradition of circling the walls of Yerushalayim, counting its towers and gates. The silent march also commemorated the anniversary of the forced evacuation of Jewish communities in Gaza and northern Samaria.
Reading Lamentations on the ground of Safra Square at City Hall.
Flags are unfurled and Nadia Matar speaks to the crowd.

The walk begins.
Plenty of police to keep the march safe. Illuminated is Shaar Shekhem (Damascus Gate)
Prof. Eldad at the Lions Gate.
Three great speakers. MK Eldad, Rabbi Sharbat of Hevron, and Nadia Matar.
The church of Gethsemane, where Jesus was arrested, as he had predicted. On the right is the back of Al Aqsa at the archeological garden. The illuminated spot to its right is the bricked Triple (Hulda) Gate.
Approaching the Dung Gate. Seriously, this gate needs a renaming.
A cute older couple.
I'd like to say we all had an inspiring time, but it was a fast day. I was hungry, and ran home to sleep.
