7. Our last destination of the day was the neighborhood of Shimon HaTzedik in the heart of the Arab Sheik Jarrah neighborhood. Proof of former Jewish residents was evident on external walls of buildings such as the Magen David over the door of the synagogue, and an indentation remained of a Mezzuzah on the doorpost of another building occupied by returning Jewish families. Several buildings on the street below are homes of amazing Jews, even though local Arabs have established a tent on the private premises and set up housekeeping in the street. The Arabs continue to harass the residents and their visitors, yet the Jewish residents are undeterred by the threats and screaming.
The Arabs were infuriated as the group belted out the song: "AHM YISRAEL CHAI!!!"
