muezzin but not only he



The new bridge in Jerusalem. Some people are really disappointed with this construction. I have some mixed feelings but really not much, I think although it may not fit in 100 percent's to the area it gives a new energy to the urban space, refresh it and and change into the better than it was.




We were today in the Jerusalem. Although the trip was kinda okay and guide was good (this is the guide)



I enjoyed the most the meeting with my three friends from the J-Town: unexpected meeting with Yohay at Yad VaShem and one planed already with David ve (and) Yarden nearby the Western Wall. The meeting with Yohay was so exciting beacuse I thought my bonds with this guy was nothing but a occasional due to the project and now thanks that we met together accidentaly I have his phone number and he has my and we can hang around a bit whenever I'll be in Jerushalaim. Which is always nice when people are cool and have this something. Btw. mazal tov! for the Yohay's and his wife and their new child!!!:)


Yohai and me


Thanks to those guys my fifth stay in Jerusalem wasn't boring. We talked a lot about tensions which are in J-Town, about their opinions on how to solve the whole conflict, and their experience from Jewish - Arab neighbourhood where there live.
So good to see them once again.

There was one thing which I had foreseen somehow it will move me - cus it moves me whenever I see it, whenever hear about it, think...

...

But there was another thing which moved me so strongly and so deeply I didn't expected.
This "thing"/feeling I find really powerful doesn't matter whether you are religious or a secular, Jew, Christian or Muslim or whatever. The aura of the place with this. Okay, you may say, but the guy on the tower is a Muslim an he sings something like "allah akbar and there is no other god but allah and the Muhammad is the prophet". Sooo, what? As long as it creates some unique aura of the moment and it doesn't leads to violence it is okay. I was impressed so maybe it will impress you also.
