On Saturday morning, we went to the Hebrew congregation service. We saw the Haredim standing on the sidewalk as we turned onto the street. We parked down the street and walked a few blocks to the house. As we got closer, the Haredim saw us and came walking at us, yelling in Hebrew. I have no idea what they were saying, since I don't speak Hebrew. I just ignored them as I walked past them to go to the house. There were a few believers standing on the sidewalk, welcoming us as we came. The Haredim started yelling at us in English saying "We don't like Christian tourists! You have Jewish blood on your hands! Shame on you! Shame on you!" As we walked up the steps, there were more believers there to greet us. We enjoyed the two hour service in Hebrew, translated into English. When we left, the sidewalk was empty.
