It will be on global news very soon :-(. "Jerusalem wrapping wall"
<SIGH> According to the legend our mother Rachel is buried there.
Bordering Beit Lechem. It will be on the inner side of this new wall and
many people will cry against it. More problematic tombs are the ones in
Hebron - "the Double Cave" Both Jews and Moslems believe that one of the
people that are buried there is father of our nations - Abraham or
Ibrahim.

Hebrew is spoken in Israel now. I learned at school about "language
wars" about hundred years ago and about Eliezer Ben Yehuda who worked
hard to build missing words. New words are born almost every day. Some
take hold, some not.
