Didn't see a single person we knew, though, even though the kotel was mobbed. One thing I really loved: just outside the kotel plaza a guy was giving out tehillim mechulak (26 booklets dividing up the whole sefer tehillim) and asking people to spend five miniutes saying tehillim for the release of Gilad Shalit. There was a brisk "business" so that the whole sefer tehillim was said every ten minutes or so. The nicest thing was who was responding to his request-charedim, dati-leumi and non-religious. It was a great and rare feeling of achdut.Malkenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-58613924398762012862010-09-27T18:02:41.432+02:002010-09-27T18:02:41.432+02:00Leora - Yes, it's a relatively good solution t...Leora - Yes, it's a relatively good solution to the chol hamo'ed traffic.<br /><br />Apparently, they recently started testing Yerushalayim's light rail system, and hopefully, that means that the situation will soon improve...Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-58027454524070114552010-09-27T00:34:09.040+02:002010-09-27T00:34:09.040+02:00Park and ride?

Apparently someone in city hall has a sense of humor... :-)<br /><br />Ilana-Davita - The younger kids get the whole week of Succot off, but the older kids have been off since Yom Kippur!Mrs. S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14649082640953110457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-76935362248102235162010-09-26T20:15:16.791+02:002010-09-26T20:15:16.791+02:00Moadim lesimcha!
