1. Disgraceful Miami Mission "Celebration"
AlittleMoreRespect ,   Jerusalem Israsel   (04.28.12)
The Miami Mission was" celebrated" by a truley disgraceful performance at the Jaffa Gate of the Old CIty a heavy metal rock band consisting of a girl in leather shorts and halter dancing provocatively as the local residents Christian Moslem and Jewish had literally no choice but to squeeze by to get to their homes. One more act by the Mayor of complete indifferance and insenstitivy to the sancticty and respect of the Old City which he now uses as a backdrop and stage for more and more provocative Jerusalem "celebrations" Hopefully it will be his last term. South Beach "culture " came to Jerusalem this week.
2. Citizens need to organize & demonstrate
DAJerusalem ,   Jeruslem Israel   (04.28.12)
The time is coming for all the residents of the Old City Jews Christians and Moslems together with others who care about it's special status to think about organizing joint demonstrations against the mayor;s insensitve Old City policy.
3. 1 I understand your sentiment but I have the feeling
Al   (04.28.12)
you have another agenda. Please dont be so transparent... Now move along....
4. To #1 Woefully ignorant....
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.28.12)
If that is what you consider South Beach culture you truly have no education....nor have you ever been here. Having said that, I will also say that you appear to be extremely judgemental...making loaded negative comments about what you have no true knowledge...
5. To#2 What special status are you talking about??
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.28.12)
For many anti-Semites...Jerusalem's special status means taking away the Jewish character of the capital of the only Jewsih state of the world... and trying to delegitimize the only Jewish state...for the anti-Semites it means denying the historical connection of Jews to the heart of the Jewsih people ...Jerusalem! Demonstrations should be organized to show the rest of the world that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel, the only Jewish state...
6. Kol Ha Kavod to the Miami Mega Mission!!!!
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.28.12)
7. Invitation to Migron
Aviela Deitch ,   MIGRON, ISRAEL   (04.28.12)
We invite your mission, as well as any other synagogue, youth or rabbinic groups to contact us for a visit here, in Migron.
8. 3 & 4 U really think that was proper ?
RealityCheck ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.28.12)
If you think that disgusting performance was representative of what Jerusalem or the Jews of Miami represent then you both have some serious studying to do. I can assure you the performance was not not not appreciated by ANY of the residents of the Old CIty.
9. Fullnes of the Gentiles
Joseph ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
This was phenomenal, timely and prophetic. We can only thank HaShem for his signs, Jerusalem being trodden under by the Gentiles,,,, we are getting close.
10. To#8 Please read the comment and digest it before you write
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.29.12)
My comment was exactly what you are saying...so yes, it was very appropriate telling #1 and 2 that a disgusting performance in no way represents South Beach culture...we do have concerts at the park ...in South Beach, we do have theater performances and philarmonic orchestras performing in South Beach...we have ballet companies come to perform in South Beach, etc., etc., etc. So yes, my comments were very appropriate...I know, I happen to live in Miami....
11. # 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
Kindly learn how to spell Israel properly.
12. # 7 @ Aviela
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
Aviela how are you all doing in Migron??
13. Thank G-d, well
Aviela ,   MIGRON, ISRAEL   (04.29.12)
Hoping, praying and working for the best.
14. #11 "Kindly" have inteligent responses
RespectJerusalem ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.29.12)
and tell the Miami leaders Jerusalem is not Miami and the most sacred city in the world to Jews is not the place for that kind of "spectacle' Many of us will be telling that to the mayor at the next electon.
15. True Jewish leadership
Yisrael Gerstenfeld ,   Rehovot, Israel   (04.29.12)
There 700 South Florida leaders should show true leadership and make aliyah.
16. #15 True Leadership ...Where ???
JewishRealityCheck ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.29.12)
If it was the leaders that put together that nighmarish scene at the Jaffa Gate thought there was nothing wrong with it ( along with our mayor)\ What is tells is how far we have departed from the norms of basic Jewish culture that this is now thought of as acceptible to do this at the gates of the Holy CIty and to offend all of its residents. Those who put this together in Miami certainly didnt consult any Orthodox rabbis there it must have been a total secular Reform group.
17. # 14
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.29.12)
You dont need my responses, you're doing very well all on your own.
18. Just Announced "A Star Is Born" Old City
WhoIsBehindThis? ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.30.12)
Israeli TV just announced the "finals" for a "Star is Born" featuring the latest pop and rock singers and dancers in an amateur contest will be held at the Jaffa Gate using the Old CIty Walls as a" spectacular "sound and light show . Old City residents and relgious visitors and pilgrims run for the hills. It is starting to look like a deliberate attempt to erase the sancticty of not only Jerualem but Israel in general as the following shows will be held in ...Safed
