Holy Exposures Commentary and Photos of Israel

Rosh Hodesh Tammuz, July 3 2008.

The streets were filled with sidewalk vendors, patrons, music, and food.  For a moment, I thought Ramat Bet Shemesh was a real city with “things to do” other than catching a minyan.

Ramat Bet Shemesh residents were treated on thursday night to a rare (2nd time in 9 years) outdoor fair, organized by the Matn”as (Community Center).  Kol Hakavod to Miri Shalem of the Ramat Bet Shemesh Matn”as for showing us a different side to our city. See below a live video from the main event.  Aharon Razel, Chaim David, and Shlomo Katz performed a concert in the central park.  Here’s their rendition of the popular Carlebach tune “Ufeduyey”.

Jaffa Rd, the center of Jerusalem today experienced the horror of a mad terrorist bulldozing 2 busses, cars, and killing  3 innocent people (including a 33 yr old woman who saved her baby by throwing her from her clutches).

In the video below, you will see quite graphically, how the terrorist was killed after his rampage.  A policeman in a white shirt inside the cab of the bulldozer was struggling with the  terrorist until, a true hero, a civilian, jumped on the moving bullldozer, took the gun from the wounded policeman, and killed the terrorist at point blank range.
