Answering Those Who Deny Jerusalem's Jewish History

(Jerusalem Post) Shmuel Rabinowitz - Testimony about the Jewishness of Jerusalem will be given by the ancient coins found among the remains, etched with names of kings of Judea. Testimony will be given by the burned seals carrying biblical names. Testimony will be given by the tremendous stone walls which surround the Temple Mount, the site of the Second Temple. Testimony about the Jewish nation's devotion to Jerusalem will be given by the etchings left by pilgrims on the stone walls of Jerusalem; by the Holy Ark curtains, wine goblets and other ritual objects which carry the image of the Western Wall stones in every place which Jews reached around the world; by the prayers, hymns and the liturgy recited in Morocco and Spain, Ethiopia and Ukraine, etching the memory of Jerusalem in every heart. Testimony will be given by the state archeological sites and museums in Jerusalem which preserve and tell the story of Jerusalem throughout the generations. Shame on those who wish to erase Jerusalem's eternal story. The writer is the rabbi of the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
