Something new in the Old City for Chol HaMoed
For those of you who - like our family - inevitably end up spending time in Jerusalem's Old City during Chol HaMoed (the intermediate days of the holiday), here's something new for you to do. On Tuesday, the largest fortress ever found in the City of David was secretly inaugurated. It's 3,800 years old.The fortress protects the Gihon spring, which was the city's water supply. No word on why the inauguration was secret.
