Question
If a Jew is buried within the city of Jerusalem, what direction should they face?
Answer
ב"ה
Shalom
Within the city of Jerusalem, a person is buried with the feet towards Har Habayit= the Temple mount. (See גשר החיים חלק א, פרק ט"ו, עמ' קלח)
May it be Hashem's will to answer happier questions in the future.
All the best
