2 JC's!

JC6 and JC7 on top of Maison D'Abraham with the #3 Muslim Holy place, the Dome of the Rock in the background. The Dome is a protective covering (not the golden dome you see but another one within the building) over the rock that is said to be the place where Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac. Abraham is the father of all 3 religions, which as always, gives me pause. In a city with huge walls imprisoning an entire people, with walls protecting us from one another, even where we are staying there is an electronically controlled fence with a camera to only let in those they recognize, we are all here for the same reason - to feel close or even to touch our God. The questions within quandaries within riddles are almost too much to approach. Yet it seems like such a simple answer. Love your neighbor. It's hard to hug your neighbor when there's a fence with razor wire separating you.
