your vote on a war hotel here in Jerusalem we did pass 200 yards from the demilitarized zone between us miscellaneous and attention towards Six Day War was two minutes the city was dysfunctional it's read to the Muslim I was real at the setting a boy remember the war started and my lady was shelled and bombed and the teenagers were routed the chosen running around because we were like the edge of the building and I could not define a third war over the end and ended a pittance and why the adults were crying on when I was an adult quackety your age at the party Berg and realize the moment the lonely at the scene thousand year fella longing and waited to see the pretty divided at the two thousand years we're now living the Nira a Jerusalem of United City not only belong to us but we have the opportunity to develop it of the United seed and so this understand my vision has to be the future hopefully doesn't take you back to the colony it was a time where all the Jewish tribes came back from hundreds of years of slavery and I'll think is a lot of this era each tribe a piece of land really made the critical skills in the way of life except the city of Houston Guzman was between Benjamin do left conceded bluefish in a way that the temple not lightning argued was on the north side of the city and the city's latest burning down here even enjoy from here actually was the plan of the world is inflow and outflow pilgrims from all of the world Jews and non-jews alike take worship God and to see the center of the religious world today so receding a funder you shall I was receiving a tsunami because the city belongs to me as much as it belong to all other people if you live in a city of cutting visit disease we're all shareholders of this fascinating city and that's why they say the Bible they will shall I aside or displayed of the Jerusalem make all people friends let me give a moment in time when you can't really shine like severe you see how people from

mayor thank our city between love if you list your eye into the skyline you see many cranes in the air at the testimony or people believing in the future we just had a government meeting today here in the closet we now other sources where Jerusalem as being a blessing given by the national government if you present an investment and you see more more business people more more young people the government brand around the world connected inside I it is spiritual and in a very very special way and why when I heard Eloise's I decided to come and commend the organization for a very nice practical way how to connect people who care about each other because I'd be but actually become incredibly weak even shall I and it's Ruby I believe that there's many many ways to connect to some of these people by philanthropy by involvement in line by coming to visit by coming to live here the challenges we have a great one thing y'all have fun exams the better Jerusalem does not only if it's good for the state of you not only is it good for Jews around the world but it's actually creating new standards are very very important for the future of the world basically with at least people around the world and they asked me how does it work here how can we have so many different people so many different ideologies working in 150 i basically what I say prevent remember the city was divided the tribes we belong both sides so by design we had all the continents to conceive of practically on a daily basis and our cities the challenges between how do we get together between ultra socks and secular do not words and Christians by design and all the cannabis on our plate and say to people that's I'm from Mexican entrepreneur acidity for the context that city is not a bug it's a feature and we have to work every day to see how it would signal ideology we list together in our cities and what we can and do this together it is a major major statement as Jerusalem is fulfilling its goal so when you all come and visit us and we all do could be that's unrelated in the city system when you do all that each one of you is helping us with another soul in the visual called building
