And ironically, the more proficient we become at being takers, the less it makes us happy. The light of redemption, both physical and spiritual, radiates on her. Her long-banished children are returning, and in their wake are the nations of the world who have acknowledged Hashem and that the Jewish People are His emissaries.

It is a Middle-Eastern one. One of Judaism's gifts to Eastern thought is reincarnation. If a person doesn't follow the path that G-d indicates in this world, his soul may return until he corrects his character flaws.

The few interconnecting Sephardic synagogues on Mishmerot Hakehuna street right next to the Jewish Quarter parking lot certainly comprise one of the Holy City's most famous landmarks.
