This week I needed to drop in on a friend in the Old City of Jerusalem. I love the old city. I walk through its alleyways imagining that maybe, on this very place walked Hillel HaZaken or maybe R’ Yochanan Ben Zakai. I dream about the Holy Beis Mamikdash and all the great Torah schools that was one Yerushalayim’s glory and will IYH soon return.
Well this week as I entered the Old City (I try to avoid going during the day because of the following reasons) in the evening I was appalled to see it packed with indecently dressed tourists and chilonim. The municipality was running some sort of “lights festival” whereby the museums and restaurants are open at night to attract visitors to the old city. It was absolutely disgusting. Men and woman, their bodies barely covered, walking around like Yerushalyaim was Atlantic City. They have no sense of respect for the Kedushah of the Holy city.
Jerusalem is truly occupied by the Zionists and is being defiled daily by them. They are willing to keep museums and stores open late at night in order to draw chilonim to these holy places. Yershalyaim is still in deep exile.
We pray for the day when Hashem will do away with these wicked occupiers and restore his Holy presence to Tzion!
