ADDITIONAL NOTES:
On la rue des Rosiers: the street which best symbolises the Jewish community of Paris. When the Parisian Jews were expelled from the city six hundred years ago it was here in the Marais that they settled (the Marais being just outside the boundary at the time). Today, the community is an orthodox one, extremely religious and belonging to one of the two local synagogues...
Tables of palm branches and cedra (a citron- or lemon-like fruit) currently line rue des Rosiers. They are traditional celebration items used in conjunction with prayers for Sukkot or Feast of Tabernacles, which starts on Oct 7.
More neighborhoods, more black and white, and more Paris on this site.
