    This is a wonderful and welcome initiative with outstanding lay and professional leadership. As someone who has lived in Jerusalem for 44 years — “Kol HaKavod” to all involved!

    Sounds like this is the mission: “The Jerusalem International Council will stimulate, strengthen, and steward new partnerships and opportunities for the city of Jerusalem that will help sustain the city’s growth and vibrancy.”

    B’Hatzlacha!
