Emek Refa'im Street

This guide to Emek Refa'im Street in Jerusalem opens close to midnight on September 9, 2003, as a father walked with his daughter toward a cafe for a quiet talk on the eve of her wedding, while a security guard nearby noticed a stranger crossing the street with something bulky under his shirt. It traces who that father was, the guard who moved to block the doorway, and the street's older layer beneath the cafes, farmhouses built by German Templer settlers over a century ago.
