In a scene which could have come straight from a movie, there isn’t a car in sight as families, teenagers and Rabbis freely roam the empty streets.
On any other day, you might expect the highways in and around Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to be teeming with traffic, choking fumes rising above the cityscape.

Ashreichem Yisrael!
