A very secular, Jewish New York Times travel columnist visits Israel reluctantly but ends up having a great time in Jerusalem. Unfortunately, he's too busy denying his Judaism to really let go and gain from all the city has to offer, but read the whole thing (Hat Tip: Lance K).Labels: Jerusalem

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

Old pic of the Hurva.
Yes, why not show the rebuilt Churva ... More prophetic
His basic premise was "It's a nice place except for all the Jews.." which is the NYT in spades.
