Quote of the Day

the opening of the Yes Planet complex on Shabbos is part of a process happening in Yerushalayim in the past two years that will turn it into Tel Aviv.. 

  -- Jerusalem City Councilman Yitzchak Pindros

as bad as it is or as it might be that a movie theater complex is opening in Jerusalem on Shabbos, Jerusalem is still a very very long way off from being even remotely similar to Tel Aviv..

    Baraket is fighting a lost cause. Instead of trying to make Jerusalem a secular city, he would be doing it much more good if he made it into a more religious city. That is the main draw for people to come to the city. Light show, Formula One, marathon, toeva, and more. Is Jerusalem known for any 'Jewish' festival?

    I heard Barkat on the radio the other day about this - he made an interestign point. the approvals for the yes planet complex and for their functioning on shabbos were given in the days Uri Lapoliansky was mayor.
