And what luck! Just in time! A Paris-Jerusalem connection!
Ynetnews writes that the French have decided to name a big central Paris square after David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, and that the inauguration ceremony will be on March 13. [Hmm, on Shabbat?]
The Yediot Aharonot daily says, "The square, which has a large fountain at its center, is located on the banks of the Seine River opposite the Quai Branly Museum. A statue of Ben-Gurion is expected to be placed in the square.

Come back tomorrow for a look at France in Jerusalem.

I was right there at the Quai Branley last January. A lovely spot for this nice memorial!

Sometimes its annoying being ahead of most of the world. I want to see tomorrow's post now!
ReplyDeleteIt is great news Dina. I wish I was there for the dedication.
ReplyDeleteI am one of Eric's subscribers; it
is going to be fun checking out other blogs saluting his "technic".
It appears that «Louis» and Ben Gurion had/have the same barber...wide part down the middle, a.k.a. "reverse mohawk"...
ReplyDeleteWow...great shot!
ReplyDeleteA good piece of news. Great Paris-Jerusalem connection indeed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat connection for the two cities.
