Snippet:
This Thursday night ushers in Jerusalem Day – Judaism’s most minimalist holiday – let’s call it J-Day! – lacks a defining home ritual – even Shavuot has learning and cheese-cake. Moreover, it’s increasingly defined by a polarizing Old City march – the right soft-pedals the boorish behavior of a few, the left ignores the good intentions of the many.
