Spiritual guide promotes worldwide meditation event to mark 25th anniversary of September 11 attack

Michal Lichtman, a spiritual guide who works with people on developing awareness and what she describes as their “inner light,” has proposed an international meditation to be held on Friday.

THE IDEA for this year’s global meditation grew out of an event Michal Lichtman organized in Jerusalem last year as part of her initiative, Migdalor – Growing Light.

After painstaking excavation, the Tower of David pavilion opens

This is a striking new architectural concept in the city, having been excavated deep beneath the earth’s surface to adhere to height restrictions prohibiting anything taller than the Old City walls.

 Adhering to strict height restrictions to maintain the Old City’s skyline, Kimmel Eshkolot Architects excavated 17 meters down to craft the new multi-level Tower of David Angelina Drahi Entrance Pavilion in an area between the outer Old City Ottoman-period wall and the inner wall.

Over the past decade, the city of Jerusalem has worked to renew the Tower of David Museum, which hosts a new entrance pavilion from Jaffa Gate, an Education Center, and later this year, a coffee shop
