DREAM page 3

be Jewish. And when Jewish kids
see that their people can be
black."
One of the students, Assa
Mola, said that he was surprised
to see so many white people. He
was told that the area was most-
ly black.
Nava Kebede talked about
how she was asked by American
teens to explain what religion she
observed before she became Jew-
ish. They didn't understand that
she didn't become anything oth-
er than Israeli.
Some of the questions from
American teens involved the Mid-
dle East peace process, according
to Mula Yaacov. But most of the

queries were for pieces of infor-
mation that a high-school student
would ask any person his age.
"What kind of music do you
like? Do you have malls in Is-
rael?"
About that music. Ask Nava,
she'll tell you: "Boyz 2 Men."
What's in store for the rest of
the week? More speeches, more
get-togethers and meeting plen-
ty of people. Hopefully, they'll get
to do what any teens would want
to do: Get to the mall. And, now,
can we get Forrest back on the
TV again?
Teens speak the same lan-
guage.

he Temple Mount is a place
bursting at the seams with
religious significance for
Jews everywhere and, as
was confirmed by recent events
in Jerusalem, an explosive polit-
ical issue for Palestinians.
A site on the World Wide Web
offers visitors a virtual tour of
this most important place in Jew-
ish geography; all it takes is a
computer, an Internet connec-
tion and browser-software like
Netscape that opens up the mag-
ical world of the Web to even
techno-klutzes.
The Har Habayit site is offered
on Virtual Jerusalem, a kind of
one-stop-shopping Web service
covering a variety of Jewish and
Israeli subjects, with an empha-
sis on Israel's capital.
The purpose of the site is "to

encourage Jews to visit Har
Habayit (The Temple Mount) in
accordance with the guidelines
stipulated by Jewish law, as well
as to create an awareness of the
importance of Har Habayit and
the issues pertaining to the area,"
according to the welcome screen.
From the site's home page, you
can electronically stroll around,
with stops at the Kotel, Wilson's
Arch, Barclay's Gate, the Huldah
Gates and the Royal Stoa, among
others. Each is described in de-
tail, many with vivid pho-
tographs.
Another section focuses in de-
tail on Jewish law pertaining to
entering the site (no leather
shoes, no unnecessary objects).
