Jerusalem Day is about to end. The high yeshiva from Itamar, headed by Rabbi Avichai Rontzky, arrives in Jerusalem after an hour's drive. The boys get off the bus onto a small lawn near the Har Hotzvim industrial area. To warm up their bones, they begin to perform the song "Cake, cake in a circle, turned around all day until we find a place, to sit down, to get up, to sit down, and to get up.".

And each time we sing, we close our hands, thereby reducing the circle.

An ultra-Orthodox photographer10 who passed by the scene documented the circle on video and in pictures.

A guy we spoke to afterwards said: "We did a light and airy warm-up for a tour of the city of Jerusalem, after which we will reach the Western Wall. This, as funny as it is, brings the group together and provides a sense of humor and fun, taking away the gloom of the trip.".
