Sabbath Peace in Jerusalem

My friend John and I were coming down the stairs to go to the Wall when Rabbi Yechiel Koslovsky, Director of Abraham's Hospitality Tent, 7 Western Wall Road, asked us to help in carrying up food in boxes from his car. He said, "Young men, could you help carry these above? It is food for the needy." His story is so interesting. He gave us his card. Right next to his building is a sign which in Hebrew says, "Get Ready! Messiah is coming!" His dear wife gave us a cold drink after we finished helping him.

We wandered around waiting for the Sabbath to officially begin (sundown on the Western Wall. That is me in the picture as the shadows come upon the wall. We saw the Temple Institute, Treasure of the Temple then we went back to the Wall. As the Sabbath began we saw the Yeshiva students lining up. Dressed in white shirts and black pants they came down the hill singing and dancing all the way to the Wall. The sight and sound was so moving. I will never forget it.
