"Hence meters from here Jews were murdered in the name of religion"

The Pope arrived today (Monday) during his meeting with Israel's chief rabbis - Rishon Lezion Hgr"y Yosef and Hgr"d Lau – at Heichal Shlomo in Jerusalem. Rabbis preceded the Pope with the blessing 'Welcome to Jerusalem'. "We thank the Pope for his work for humanity."

Hgr"d Lau specified to the Pope the meeting location at Heichal Shlomo, next to the restaurant at which was held a severe attack a few years ago: "a few meters from here, hundreds of Jews were murdered in buses and restaurants. The murderers did so in the name of religion. We must unite against all acts of murder and crime in the name of religion. I urge you to hold a conference between - religious for this important call."

Minister of Economy and Chairman of the Jewish Home Naftali Bennett, who also participated in the meeting at Heichal Shlomo , told the Pope: " Welcome to Israel. Israel is the fulfillment of the vision of the prophets who prophesied us our return to Israel Holy Land of Eternal Israel will not lay, and that Zion shall go forth Torah. "We are pleased to welcome you in our capital since 3,000 years, the city of peace of Jerusalem."

Earlier in the day the Pope arrived at the Wall and buried a note between the stones. Later wrote in the guest book of the Wall, "I asked for the gift of peace." Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz spoke to him and said: "I wish to appeal from this place - sacred to me and you and many millions more worldwide. I turn - together with you - them to fight hatred and anti-Semitism which grows more and more lately."
