The Old City's Alive!

Thank Gd not the noisy-ness that is being heard north and south of the country! I had the priveledge of spending Friday night in Jerusalem's Old City. You wouldn't know there was war being fought this Shabbat. The kotel plaza was filled with groups, dancing, singing and davvening. Men & Women's sections were packed. Throughout the meal boisterous groups were constantly walking throught the square outside the apartment. After my meal I went to a friend's apartment in the Old City who had more then 20 random guests mostly visiting from around the world. I took one of their guests for a walk down to the kotel. Even at that late hour the plaza and davvening areas were not empty. There was a boys camp singing beautifully. I made it home after 2 am.
