Beit Lechem doesn't fit the geographical description in the Bible. It does make more sense that it's closer to Adam or Shaar Binyamin.<BR/>And about the missionaries and ban of Ramat Rachel. I don't think the issue has gotten much publicity. We've been to quite a few weddngs there, of people who would care.Batyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246929075812590204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7040911.post-67665195396734170082009-01-29T20:32:00.000+02:002009-01-29T20:32:00.000+02:00A little something people should be aware about re...A little something people should be aware about <A HREF="http://shearim.blogspot.com/2007/11/battle-between-yad-leachim-and-kibbutz.html" REL="nofollow"><B>regarding Ramat Rachel</B></A>.<BR/><BR/>Appropriate with today's newsletter by Ellen. :)<BR/><BR/>We know plenty of people who canceled their plans at Ramat Rachel when they found this out. Others who found out after their event will not return.<BR/><BR/>They are not the only place. This is spreading around.<BR/><BR/>About the name "Ramat Rachel", it seems to come from the famous pasuk "Kol b'Ramah Nishmah, Rachel me'vakah al baneha" (Yirmiyahu 31:14).<BR/><BR/>Note that Shmuel lived in Ramah. In north Jerusalem, there is an Arab neighborhood named Ar-Ram, just north of Neve Ya'akov. Someone once told me that it might be named after Ramah but I don't recall if that works out historically as the place of Shmuel's Ramah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
