Making aliyah to Bet Shemesh (video)
nice clip about Bet Shemesh...
what do you think? some are upset that it only focuses on RBS and not BS, some point to only haredi subjects spoken with while BS is far more diverse than that (even though those in the video talk about the diversity). some say no women only men.... still it is a nice clip..
If BS can attract ANY population who works and pays taxes, and who treats their neighbors with respect (and not just as ATM machines) this is a BIG PLUS. If this population happens to be haredi, this is a BIG PLUG - then you get derech eretz together with tora. Nothing I like more than a haredi WITHOUT a feeling of entitlement, WITHOUT a feeling of superiorirty. I hope many of the local haredim can learn from the haredi olim -- my fear is that it'll be the other way around.
This is a very nice video! The only thing that needs to be added is that Bet Shemesh/RBS will really be a lot "closer" to everything else after 38 is widened. The situation of the traffic today is almost intolerable - hopefully new people come to visit during the day without traffic, otherwise they would all think twice, three times, and four times about moving to BS/RBS.
