They shared the habitat harmoniously with the town's clan population, contributing to the cultural and social development of both communities. The rural landscape reminds one of the city of Jerusalem. The tuff rock harmonizes with the medieval structures. The picturesque emergence of the pale grey buildings from the dark woods brings to mind the days of the Jewish community in this small city. Its culture and civilization pay tribute to the enduring dedication of the small Jewish community to this town.
