Quotables
"For centuries, Jews have prayed daily
for the rebuilding of Jerusalem; the
least we can do today is insist that our
holiest site not be undermined."
— Gag Rosenblatt, editor of the 'New
York Jewish Week" newspaper, in a com-
mentary on the Temple Mount in
Jerusalem.
"The enemy that we have to fight is
not the Palestinians. It's the unbeliev-
able ignorance of most Jewish young
people to the beauty and centrality of
Israel in their Jewish lives."
Richard Joel, president of Hillel•
The Foundation for Jewish Campus
Life, as quoted by JTA.

"It's hard to explain this word, hard to
translate it. Hamatzav' is our friend.
We know it. It is a citizen of this
state.
— Ruvik Rosenthal, language colum-
nist for the "Ma'ariv" newspaper, about
the popular phrase that means "the situ-
ation," but without an obvious solution
— like the ongoing Palestinian intifada
(uprising), as quoted by JTA.
