  3. Was there some concern that Brooklyn was going to seen as the center of the Jewish nation that this is something that needed to be brought to vote?

  4. What does "The capital of the Jewish Nation" mean??
    and what does the kenesset law change? (other than PR for the keneset member that brought the bill?)

  5. Ely and Yehuda - I don't know, but I suspect it is just publicity. I doubt there is any legal ramification....

  6. I can think of one very important thing this vote means.

    It means that Jews in America who want to give thier opinion about the status of Jerusulem can't be told to "move here or shut up" because now Jerusuelem is the capital for all Jews everywhere, not just Israelies.
