* Translation by Yehoshua Siskin
Come to Jerusalem. That’s what I wrote at the beginning of the war and it’s true today more than ever. Jerusalem has a healing effect. I see groups of evacuees touring around the Kotel (Western Wall), groups of reservists who completed their service and have come with their families to give thanks, groups of students and teachers, Bar Mitzvah boys and Bat Mitzvah girls, missions of solidarity from the Diaspora. It’s not by chance that they are attracted to Jerusalem, especially now.
I was privileged to speak in Jerusalem in front of many grieving families, and this is what I said to them in the tunnels of the Kotel.
