At Xmas 2004, I took a trip to Israel, my first pilgimmage, so to speak. There is an interesting place called St George's Anglican on Nablus Road, up the slopey hill just outside the Old City of Jerusalem. I think it may have been about 25 minutes' walk from Damascus Gate. I attended a church service there one Sunday. There is a Rieger in there, and I want to show you a short clip I saw on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71DyK0kjXqs on that organ playing. Here is an introduction and the stoplist provided by the Israel Organ Society: http://organ.org.il/pws/page!5417. It is quite shocking to match those long lists with the relatively small organ in the picture. It's amazing -- I guess there are considerable inter-rank and intra-rank borrowings.
The church interior is quite elegantly neat and nothing gaudy or ostentatious.
