Ateret Cohanim conducted their annual educational Chol HaMoed tours of the Old City, during Sukkot.
As in past years, the alleyways of the Old Jewish Quarter (Moslem Quarter of today) were flooded over Sukkot with thousands of Jews who flocked to the Kotel and who wanted a unique tour of the renewed Jewish presence in the area.
Close to 30 guides were coached and trained prior to Sukkot and every 10-15 minutes another group of 25-30 visitors went on tour.
The groups visited places like Beit Wittenberg, Beit HaTzalam, Beit HaMaaRavim, Beit Diskin, Neot David, Beit Schechter, the Kotel HaKaTan and the Flowers gate compound. A highlight of the tours was the visit to the newly acquired Beit Volero –a huge compound with courtyard that was once the private residence of the famous Turkish banker –Rabbi Volero.
