‘Yehi Tov al Am Yisrael’.
Does no one remember the snowfall in January of 2000? There were at least 12 inches. We landed in Ben Gurion on Thursday night, and just barely made it to Yerushalyim. No taxis wanted to drive there. By the next morning there were 12 inches on the ground. The whole city was completely shut down! It was a real “Yerushalaim shel Lavan”!
