What is happening with the cable car from the Kotel to Har Hazeisim that the Municipality gave the green light for? (I remember reading an article about it)
It would certainly do a lot to drastically improve security on Har Hazeisim!
If the place was filled with tourists and the general public, the resources for security personnel and cameras etc. would have to increase 100 fold!
Does anyone know where this is holding?
Does anyone know the name for Tehilim for the bochur?
