My thoughts, assertions and observations on issues important to me as a Jew, a Zionist, a Revenant in Yesha and as an inquisitive human being.
About Me
- YMedad
- Shiloh, Benjamin District, Samaria, Israel
- American born, my wife and I moved to Israel in 1970. We have lived at Shiloh together with our family since 1981. I was in the Betar youth movement in the US and UK. I have worked as a political aide to Members of Knesset and a Minister during 1981-1994, lectured at the Academy for National Studies 1977-1994, was director of Israel's Media Watch 1995-2000 and currently, I work at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in Jerusalem.

I serve as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish Communities in Judea & Samaria.

as a former resident of the jewish quarter i'm not sure how i feel about this. i was there 2 shabbatot ago- i went specifically to see how the "hurva" was coming along. i got to see it from the inside, some local kids had broken thru the makeshift fence left by the construction workers and people were just kind of wandering around in there. my significant other agreed with me that the paintings on the ceiling are tacky- not even having the virtue of being intentionally primativist but being actually primative- and the stained glass seemed kind of cheezy too. it certainly is an impressive building from the outside, though. any idea who paid for this thing? or how quarter residents feel about it? or what kind of davening will take place there?
I understand the "grand opening" is scheduled for Rosh Chodesh Nissan (16 March)... Hope it'll be ready!
And I hope there's another name in the works - 3 synagogues on that spot were "churva". Let's hope and pray that the fourth never becomes the same!
