Just now, I was sitting by a window studying (since we're up on Mt. Scopus, we can see most of Jerusalem from here) and then someone sitting near me saw a giant column of smoke rising from Old Jerusalem . We went outside to look and saw flames, so I started worrying that there had been a huge accident of some sort. The security here at the center said not to worry, it was probably just a house or a store on fire, but it was the first time I have ever seen anything like that. I guess we see every fire that goes on from here because of our view.
