The Old City - A Glimpse into the Past

Stepping into the Old City was like entering a time portal. Its walls held stories of conquests, religious fervor, and cultural exchanges that had shaped Jerusalem's identity over the centuries.

Wandering through the narrow alleys, I encountered the four quarters that define the unique fabric of the Old City - the Jewish Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Armenian Quarter, and the Muslim Quarter. Each one possessed its own charm, customs, and traditions.

The Western Wall - A Sacred Encounter

No journey to Jerusalem is complete without a visit to the Western Wall, one of the most significant religious sites in the world. The sight of people praying and leaving notes in its crevices moved me deeply.

As I placed my hand on its ancient stones, I could almost feel the weight of history pressing against me. It was a humbling experience that connected me to the countless souls who had sought solace and divine intervention at this sacred site throughout the ages.

The Holy Sepulchre - A Pilgrim's Haven

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, nestled within the Christian Quarter, is a place that bears witness to the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Stepping inside, I was greeted by the harmonious melodies of Gregorian chants, filling the air with an ethereal ambiance.

As I made my way through the chapels and corridors, touching the Stone of Anointing and descending the stairs to see the Tomb of Jesus, I was filled with a sense of awe. It was a place where pilgrims, believers, and history enthusiasts alike could find solace and connect with the divine.

The Mount of Olives - A Panoramic Delight

To witness the breathtaking beauty of Jerusalem from a different perspective, I ventured to the Mount of Olives. This vantage point offered panoramic views that stretched across the city, allowing me to absorb the stunning landscapes before me.

As the golden hues of the setting sun painted the city, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to witness such magnificence. The sacred silence surrounding the mount evoked a sense of tranquility and introspection.

The Magic of Jerusalem - A Place of Unity

Jerusalem held an incredible power to ignite a sense of unity within me. No matter our faith, background, or cultural beliefs, this city has the ability to unite people from all walks of life and make them appreciate the diversity that exists in our world.

I found myself conversing with locals, sharing stories and laughter, and discovering the common threads that bound us all together. It was a reminder that the world is a tapestry of unique experiences and that Jerusalem is a living testament to that grand tapestry.

My travels to Jerusalem have forever left an indelible mark on my soul. The city's rich history, unparalleled religious significance, and vibrant cultural tapestry make it a destination like no other.

So, dear traveler, I urge you to take the leap and embark on your own odyssey to Jerusalem. Discover its hidden corners, immerse yourself in its mysticism, and allow this extraordinary city to transform your perception of the world.

An intimate account of the establishment of the Palestine Monetary Authority and related adventures by one of the International Monetary Fund’s post-conflict, transition economy monetary experts. From being stranded in the desert without a cell phone, to hearing the sound at breakfast of a suicide bomber, to meeting with Yasser Arafat, and Stanley Fischer of the Bank of Israel, the author shares his adventures in the land of Canaan over a sixteen year period.The establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 in Israel’s ancestral homeland required dealing with Palestine’s existing residents. In the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel’s occupation of the territories given to the Palestinians when the United Nations first recognized the State of Israel (the West Bank and Gaza Strip) increased pressure to resolve that issue. The Oslo Accords offered a path to its resolution, based on an agreement between Yasser Arafat, representing the Palestinian people, and the government of Israel, to swap land for peace (the return of Palestinian lands in exchange for Palestinian recognition of the State of Israel and its right to exist in peace). One of the elements of the Oslo Accords was the establishment of a central bank in the Occupied Territories. Between 1995 and 2011 Warren Coats lead or participated in the missions of the International Monetary Fund to assist the Palestinian Authority in establishing and developing the capacities of the Palestine Monetary Authority. This book recounts the highlights of his visits, which included meetings with Arafat, as well as Bank of Israel officials.
