The Oneg Shabbat blog is a private very popular weekly blog that’s been published since 2007. Authored by Prof. David Assaf, Professor of Jewish History at Tel Aviv University, each week he focuses on different subjects pertaining to Judaism, Israel, humanity.
Oneg Shabbat
In his October 28 edition Prof. Assaf focused on the Window to Mount Zion project, and its new interactive web site.
Jerusalem enthusiasts will be delighted to become acquainted with the Window to Mount Zion web site, which seeks to promote Mount Zion as a common, tolerant and accepting place for the three monotheistic religions. The site is a ‘social tourist guide’ and incorporates texts and videos from the perspective of those who live and work there. For example, Father Corion tells about the Armenian monastery and the cemetery next to it, Rabbi Yitzchak Goldstein tells about the Chamber of the Holocaust and Abdullah Dajani tells about his family’s cemetery next to the David’s Tomb complex. The site also has an illustrated, detailed and interactive map that shows all the sites on Mount Zion in a friendly way.
