The word Salem is mentioned in the Bible and means Peace. When I visited St. Anne and saw this place I was very intrigued. I also visited a nearby bleach and a restaurant man was blowing what looks like a rams horn but which the Jews refers to as a shofar which was blown to alert of alert the Jews of war and is used today in Jewish ceremonies. I was moved by the fact that I saw so many Jewish symbolism in Jamaica. Another Jewish symbol was the sepulchre that many Jamaicans Bury their dead in. This indicate to me that at one time Jamaica had a lot of Jewish influence connected to its history.

Thank you
In Jamaica, your camera is not fully focused; as you pass by signs, images are blurry.
I am not sure why.. I will check though
