Jaffa Gate

So I walked out of the archway and I'm just I'm looking at both, and since you were there, you know what this feels like.

There's the gate, and maybe, I don't know if it's Jaffa Gate.

It's been too long now, but it's one of the main gates where you walk in.

But I'm looking at both, the archway and then the wall, and just a deep sadness because part of my inner prayer is, Next to the mosque was May All Be One.

Well, to tell this story, In a very personal way, I wanted to interview his parents.

And when I got to Israel, I was standing outside the Jaffa Gate, and I had gotten the contact information for his mother and his father.

And I reached out to them, and I said, I know this sounds crazy, but can I interview you guys tomorrow for this documentary I'm making about your son? And they said yes.

That's the most Israeli thing ever.

And that just proves that humanity is a complicated thing, and people go on their journeys.

You're in Jerusalem, you're on the Jaffa Road, and you see this guy in a white donkey or a woman on a white donkey or a woman and a guy in a white donkey, and they're headed to the Jaffa Gate, and you know indisputably it's the Mashiach.

What has happened as a result in Israeli society? How do you know? Where has Masorti Judaism and Judaism in general and Israeli society in general arrived when that phenomenon happens?

You know, I think that these things are all intertwined, but I think that the Mashiach will come when we all start being menches to one another, right? I think that the biggest challenge facing non-Orthodox Judaism here is the vitriol against it from people who are unwilling to see any of the good that comes out of it because of whatever threat they perceive that both Masorti and Reform Judaism are giving.

The survey also highlights public opinion on coalition composition, with a majority opposing an Arab party's inclusion but supporting a Haredi party.

In terms of specific security incidents, Israeli police arrested six suspects, five of them minors, following an attack and robbery of a twenty-nine-year-old man on the Jaffa Gate Promenade in Jerusalem.

The stolen mobile phone was recovered.

In a separate incident highlighting concerns over military assets, a Palestinian from Judea and Samaria was apprehended with a Matador missile, believed to have been stolen from the IDF.
