  • 12 years ago
Millions of people from around the world come to Jerusalem every year, to experience first hand its magnificent historical and religious sites. Yet, with all its splendour, many tourists feel that the city's tourist sites are neglected and complicated to find. A new initiative from the Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Senior Citizens seeks to address this concern, while at the same time giving retired Jerusalem residents something to do. The result is the Pensioners Patrol - a new project that organizes retired Jerusalem residents into volunteer patrol units to oversee tourist sites throughout Jerusalem. 05/27/08.
