Beautiful pictures. They even have express tracks which are rare for most railroads. Do you have any photos of the trains?
Does it bother you that you have to face the dome and the rock to say the sh'ma?

Thank you for the pictures, Yacov.

I lived in an area with similar climate and landscape. The color of the soil, even the color of the air is very dear to me.
I am Zvulun ben Moshe and I approve this message.

The new trend everywhere is to place a mall and food court around train stations, which is a pretty good idea because it makes them easier to get to without a car.
