The Road to Jerusalem-- a life line for Jerusalem, built with Jewish blood. G-d bless those brave souls who shed their blood for Jerusalem, for Israel.

Thank you, Yonah, for another valuable history lesson.

And that is why haredim live in Bnei Brak and never take the drive and refuse to serve in the IDF, correct?

Thanks for the post. I remember in the early 1970s, that the Mamillah district in Jerusalem was very poor. Today, it is the site of an upscale shopping mall.

Mocing article. Sadly ,in Australia we are in the midst of a Royal Commission into antisemitism, after the Bondi massacre that has been set up, begrudgingly, by a socialist anti semitic Labor govt, under public pressure, to fail.

Thank you for opening my eyes. I look forward to my next journey from Ben Gurion Airport to Jerusalem and will opt for the land route to give silent tribute!
