Our kids are in great schools, we helped build and enjoy our great shul, we have wonderful neighbours. We like it here. We have no intention of being forced from our homes by intolerant yobs.<br />In Har Nof the haredi residents have achieved a peaceful co-existence with the Dati Leumi residents. I hope and pray that one day RBS will attain this mutual tolerance.Ruthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-25911664021553406722009-04-26T13:17:00.000+03:002009-04-26T13:17:00.000+03:00I assume pizza is a lo plug from motzai pesach.I assume pizza is a lo plug from motzai pesach.Mikeagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827275300296295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-71975680725231708072009-04-26T13:12:00.000+03:002009-04-26T13:12:00.000+03:00Modiin has at least one scoop shop, several pizza ...Modiin has at least one scoop shop, several pizza shops, two cinemas (so far), and a bowling alley.
