Israel Radio reports that 625 housing units in Pisgat Zev and about 900 in Har Homa - both in 'east' Jerusalem across the 1949 armistice lines - were approved (not clear to me what stage) while Obama was speaking.Labels: Jerusalem is the capital of Israel

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Damn. My brother is going to be upset. He lives in Pisgat Ze'ev. They've been itching to build in a lot that's being used as a parkette across from his apartment and he'll lose a lot of his sunlight. He's also not happy with the traffic situation, especially since the rapid transit has eaten up a car lane.
But what does this mean?
Any updates on this one? I heard about this when my relative visited us in our old home in apartments in Greenville SC. Haven't really catch up with what's going on ever since.
