Why is there no Italian Quarter in NY, or Turkish Quarter in Berlin, or Muslim Quarter in Paris? There are enough Koreans to have a Korean Quarter in Tokyo, and a Chinese Quarter in Moskow, and yet, only Yerushalim has been "quartered"
I can only speak about the division of the Old City: There is an Armenian, Jewish, Christian and Muslim Quarter. The rest of the city is divided into West and East Jerusalem.
After years of living in Jerusalem, I recently left the city and first moved to the north and now to Tel Aviv.
Nevertheless, I am still writing about Jerusalem but also include many other places in Israel.
Until some years ago, I was a Yeshiva (Michlalah) student. First with the national religious and later with the Litvishe. Also got in contact with Chassidut and this subject and lifestyle has never left me.
