I don’t feel bad for them at all, what were they thinking. Don’t they know that JORDAN is a muslim country full of fanatics – why enter a lion’s den & expect sympathy when the lion bites ???????????????????????????

I believe that Aharon Hacohen’s kever is in Jordan; I’m kind of disappointed in myself that I never made it there, but when I do go it won’t be for more than 24 hours.

Sounds like BH the reporters, who work for one of the best of the frum papers, are fine and were not in custody for long.

I’ve never been to Jordan in my life, and frankly can’t imagine why any sane frum Jew would go except for the most unusually urgent reasons. Whatever this “special Pesach project” was, I hope it would qualify, since Chazal say even about a shliach mitzvah, “bemokom de’shchichi hezieka shani”.
