The Freger family from
Canada celebrates their
daughter Adyson’s bat
mitzvah in an under-
ground hall near Jeru-
salem’s Western Wall,
one of the holiest sites
in Judaism. The vaulted
chamber, built by Mus-
lims in the 14th century
as an inn for caravans,
was transformed into a
Jewish event space and
linked to the warren of
Western Wall tunnels.
