ABU GHOSH MAYOR SETS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE

Salim Jaber, the mayor of Abu Ghosh, spoke recently at a Habad rally. He faced criticism for it, but stood strong. This is a good thing. During the War of Independence in the late 1940s, the Abu Ghosh village was allied with the Jewish side in the battle, and while there may be some rotten apples there today, the town they now are is still a standout example in good Jewish-Arab relations.
