Hebrew term or phrase: Translation of picture into English
My question for this post concerns a picture a friend asked me to translate.
I stdied Biblical Hebrew for about 3 years at Stellenbosch University in Soth Africa.
During our Biblical Hebrew Course we used a program called Logos to help us read/translate...
I am struggling to read and translate this particular picture though.
I think It may perhaps be modern Hebrew
I tried to do an OCR on it but it cold not convert it to text .Please find the picture by conducting a search on this link.

Explanation:
At the top of the picture: Mount of Olives
At the bottom of the picture: 5663 (1902–1903) the holy city of Jerusalem, may it be established and built speedily in our days, Amen
(I don't know what the letters in the middle are. Maybe it's a marriage contract and they're the couple's initials?)
