The light in the Great Mosque
A church turned mosque, an underground water reservoir transformed into a mini lake. A Titian painting, a 1300 year old aqueduct, a market bursting with color, and ah, the warm smoothness of the best 'Mesabaha' in the country. The kind light of a beautiful February day, shines on the Muslim, the Christian and the Jewish buildings, on the old and the new that make the unique DNA of city of Ramle (Ramla in Arabic).
"Surely the day will come when color means nothing more than skin tone, when religion is seen uniquely as a way to speak one's soul, when birth places have the weight of a throw of the dice and all men are born free, when understanding breeds love and brotherhood....". Amen.
