They say about the streets of Jerusalem that when children happily play there, the coming of the Messiah is close.

This is the Rothchild Building, based on a picture I took in Israel in 2006.

A line from the book of Zacharia (8: 4-5) is written on the courtyard wall:
“Old men and old women will again sit in the streets of Jerusalem… and the city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing.”

“The bridge of the New Ghetto” I visited Venice in 2008 for two weeks, walked over the bridge many times to the Old Jewish Ghetto, the Venice Ghetto was the first “Ghetto.” Currently the location of the CHABAD of Venice and old Synagogues that are now the Jewish Museum of Venice.  It you ever visit go to GAM GAM a kosher restaurant near by, especially if you are their for Shabbat.  I made this from a picture I took while I was there.
