Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovitch built the Russian Compound in the late 1800′s for the pilgrims who were swarming to Jerusalem. Then the revolutionaries got him.
Aviva and Shmuel-
I just wanted to send you a quick note thanking you for a wonderful time. My family really enjoyed the past three days -- you were patient, accommodating and very thorough. You made our experience here very special and we will remember it always.
Please let me know if you are ever in New York. It would be lovely to see you again.
Yours,
