The alleyways of the Jewish Quarter were named to reflect Jerusalem’s period of greatest glory, when the Beit HaMikdash stood.0
Paying attention to the significance of the names of the alleyways in essence is taking a tour of traditional Jewish sources.0
Among the alleyways is Rechov HaChatzotrot. This alleyway is perpendicular to Rechov Mishmarot HaKehuna (the groups of Kohanim who served in the Beit HaMikdash), which is significant, since Chatzotrot were played specifically by Kohanim.0
At the Temple Institute, a short walk from Rechov HaChatzotrot, one can see what Chatzotrot looked like.0
