The Jerusalem Post reports the reopening of Jaffa Gate after two months of renovation.
A large black cloth that has shrouded Jaffa Gate in both darkness and mystery over the past two months was removed Wednesday morning during a special ceremony to rededicate the famous Jerusalem landmark, revealing the extensive “face-lift” recently given to one of the Old City’s most important and well-known points of entry.
The gate’s freshly-cleaned Jerusalem stones, a completely refurbished white ceiling inside its entryway, and other aesthetic fruits of the renovation labor were immediately apparent after the cloth came down.
The complete report is available here.
