Mazal Tov to MK Tzipi Hotovely

I remember an interview with MK Tzipi Hotovely and her mother right after she was elected to be a Knesset Member the first time.  Her mother said something like:

"It may be an honor that she was elected MK, but I prefer that she would get married."

Well, the day has finally arrived. She can now change her "family status" to "married."

Before the wedding she ascended the Temple Mount in a personal, spiritual quest.

“Going up to the Temple Mount is important to me, as I am getting married,” Hotovely explained. “Establishing a home and a family unit is not just a private event, but has a public and national dimension of rebuilding from the ruins of Jerusalem.”

In addition, Hotovely pointed out that the Temple Mount is the holiest place for the Jewish people, and called for every Jew to have free access to the site.

All the best wishes to Hotovely and family.
