    Guide

    Dov Notkovitch

The Syriac community takes pride in having been established in Jerusalem since the time of Jesus. St. Mark’s Monastery in the Old City serves as the center of this Aramaic-speaking community, with a small yet impressive church, and a long-standing tradition that the Last Supper of Jesus took place in the cellar of the site.

We will set out on a tour following this small and ancient community, learning about its way of life, customs, and history, and we will meet a representative of the community.

The tour includes entry to the church. Please arrive in modest attire (no sleeveless shirts or shorts).

Meeting Point: Angelina Drahi Entrance Pavilion, western entrance to the Tower of David, near Mamilla Mall
End Point: Jaffa Gate
