(If there are, and you happen to have photos of it, I'd greatly appreciate them!)<br />Thanks!Yair Itmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892738680937964402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603487163753025185.post-75237384504488430572009-09-27T22:59:35.121+01:002009-09-27T22:59:35.121+01:00After the many travails of the city, one may well ...After the many travails of the city, one may well ask... if the earthquakes, plagues and deportations didnt get them then it is surprising to find any left.
