NYTIMES/AP:
When American Rabbi Joshua Spinner moved to Berlin's trendy Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood a decade ago, there were no other Jews to be seen. Now when the sun sets on a Friday night, dozens of Jewish men clad in traditional Shabbat garb with big black hats and dark long coats walk down the streets past hip coffee shops, chic boutiques and tiny art galleries to attend services at Rykestrasse synagogue.DO ORTHODOX JEWS BELONG MORE IN BERLIN - THE HISTORIC CAPITOL OF NAZISM, THAN IN JERUSALEM THE HISTORIC CAPITOL OF JUDAISM?
''When my wife and I arrived here in 2000, we were the only Jews around. There was nobody to invite for Shabbat dinner,'' the rabbi recalled over a cappuccino at kosher Cafe Rado, just down the street from the Jewish kindergarten.
He's in the middle of a thriving orthodox Lauder Yeshurun community of young immigrants mostly from the former Soviet Union. Members say its believers are more actively celebrating their faith than their oppressed parents and grandparents and moving forward from the traumatic past of Judaism in the country.
There about 200 believers now and it's growing fast: There are several weddings a year and the nursery school has become so overcrowded that parents have to register their children soon after birth if they want to get one of the coveted spots.
IF JEWS CAN MOVE INTO BERLIN, THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE TO AND LIVE IN JERUSALEM - ESPECIALLY ALREADY EXCLUSIVELY JEWISH NEIGHBORHOODS IN JERUSALEM.
OBAMA'S AND FATAH'S AND HAMAS'S DEMAND THAT JEWS NOT BUILD NEW APARTMENTS IN JERUSALEM IS WRONG, EVIL AND BAD.
