The Upper Gate
The Upper Gate was the most western of the four southern gates of the Court. Some say it was
called this because it was situated on the ascent of the mountain. Some call the Nikanor Gate the "Upper Gate" (See Talmud
Yerushalmi: Eruvin 5:1 and the Rambam, Beit Habechira 5:5). In this case, the word "upper" would signify "above the Women's
Court." |
