This Rav Shmuel video is pretty good. I want to see if I can successfully put it in my blog.


Thank You Jerusalem Municipality

I’m writing this post because generally we don’t give enough thanks when something good happens…and this is a place where I wouldn’t have expected anything good to happen.

On Wednesday night there were two boys on bicycles standing at the side of the road trying to prevent cars from running over an already killed cat. (The streets here are over run with cats, so this isn’t a surprise.) I asked them what they were doing, and they said they had been standing there for an hour. I asked if they had contacted anyone to remove the cat and they said no.

I got on the phone and called 106 — the City Hotline. They deal with anything from broken playground equipment, to garbage removal. I didn’t expect any results, but thought that I should give it a try.

The hotline took my name, number, and the location of the cat, and within an hour there was a cleaning truck outside our building!!!

As if this weren’t enough, this morning,Friday at 9:50 AM, I received a call from the hotline, asking me if they had come and taken care of the problem, and thanking me for making the call!!!

Thank you City of Jerusalem for truly making a difference!!!
