Torah perspective
Just ahead of Jerusalem Day, an ancient tunnel of unknown age and purpose emerges from beneath the ground near Ramat Rachel. The earth itself seems to be yielding its secrets in preparation for the day when we celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem. There is a principle that everything hidden has its appointed time for revelation. The tunnel's purpose remains unknown, and that is precisely the point. Some things are not meant to be fully understood at first glance. They ask us to hold the mystery, to trust that what lies beneath will eventually come to light. Jerusalem, too, has depths that no excavation can fully uncover. The city's true essence is not in what is found, but in what is still waiting to be revealed.
