Yerushalayim

I was blessed to be able to live in Yerushalayim for two years. The first time I went to the Kotel, I burst into tears. The presence of G-d is there so strong. The sight of the Jewish people being back in their land worshipping together was overwhelming. He who watches Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps and we await His coming to bring all to His peace on earth.

The Western Wall will always be the hope and joy of all mankind. Thank you G-d for the good and the bad.
