What a shame to be asked if you have been to your city and all you have to say is: "I would go there one day, or the last time I visited Jerusalem I was nine. There may be a third way to answer this question: yes, I went through it, but I was not allowed out of the bus because I did not have the required special permission for such visits.
Indeed, the first picture my mind to Jerusalem was convened 11 years ago in 2000 when I went for the first time with my parents, grandmother and older sister.I fixed a lot of rabbis through the window of the bus that took us to Jerusalem. They were like: wearing black suits and black hats with beards and crazy loops hanging two of their whiskers. I asked my mother who they were. She said "religious Jews."
