Thousands of visitors are expected in Hebron for Shabbos Chayei Sarah as has become an annual tradition. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent a letter to community officials citing how his administration has included the Ma’aras HaMachpelah on the list of national heritage sites.
The IDF will be out in large numbers to provide protection on the roads leading to the city and on the roads between Kiryat Arba and Hebron.

Inspirational, spiritual SHABBOS in It HaAvos.
Wait a minute. Did Netanyahu get permission from Susan Rice or John Kerry to allow “Jews” to pray there? You don’t want to “incite” or “escalate” any tensions.
