Common house of worship

To read the Jerusalem post article here

For one week in September, a small structure of four walls and a bit of balcony, called the Alpert Youth Music Center will become AMEN, a home for something that has never before been attempted in the Holy City – a place of worship for the three great monotheistic religions “who share a passion for Jerusalem in which they will co-exist temporarily under the wings of the Almighty.” Under the radar, away from the public eye, a small clutch of religious leaders have been gathering for years to believe, to hope and to reconnect via the atavistic language of faith. Representatives from the Jerusalem kehilla have been participating.

One of the leaders of this initiative is Rabba Tamar Elad-Appelbaum, the founder of the Zion synagogue community in Jerusalem. The concept the initiators have created, which the believing public is invited to join between September 5 to 11, is part of a festival known as Mekudeshet, Blessed, part of Jerusalem’s Season of Culture. “The reality is based on Isaiah's prophecy, 'My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.'”
