Reports indicate that terrorist threats have led Israel military and security forces to go on their highest level of alert.

April 23, '08

(IsraelNN.com) At least three large-scale hametz-selling ceremonies were held on Passover Eve, and two of them went off without a hitch.  The third held a reminder that Jerusalem may be sold as well.

This past Friday, the Chief Rabbis of Israel - Rabbis Shlomo Amar and Yonah Metzger - officially sold the State's chametz to Hussein Ismail Jabbar, who has been participating in this ceremony for many years.  The rabbis were authorized to make the sale by Finance Minister Roni Bar-On.  Jabbar, of the Jerusalem corridor village of Abu Ghosh, paid an advance of 20,000 shekels, and officially took ownership of the State's leavened products.

According to Haaretz, which quotes an unnamed "source in Jerusalem," the UNIFIL troops were on patrol and pulled the truck over. When they approached the vehicle, armed Hizbullah terrorists exited and threatened them at gunpoint. The UNIFIL troops returned to their cars and went back to their base.

Passover Hit in Jerusalem: Zedekiah's Cave

by Hillel Fendel

18 Nissan 5768
April 23, '08

(IsraelNN.com) With Jerusalem bustling with visitors - Israelis and tourists alike - who have come to take part in the Passover festivities, one of the sites they won't want to miss is Zedekiah's Cave.

Run by the East Jerusalem Development Co., with the participation of the Municipality of Jerusalem, the Ministry of Tourism, the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Jerusalem Foundation, the cave dates back to the days of the First Temple period, at least some 2,500 years ago.  Much larger now than it was then, it runs under the Moslem Quarter of the Old City, from near Damascus Gate (Shaar Shechem) to Via Dolorosa, not far from the Temple Mount. Some historians say it once reached all the way to the Temple Mount; it is now blocked off by tremendous boulders.
