How Does an Ambassador Formally Start Work in Israel? What's the BEST Location for a Bar Mitzvah?

To answer the first question....click here.  The event takes place at the Israeli President's house.  The Ambassador was accompanied by several senior Embassy staff along with his wife and eldest daughter. Afterwards there was a Vin d'Honneur reception at the King David Hotel, which W attended. At this reception, our Ambassador was joined by several newly credentialed ambassadors representing Germany, Slovakia and Nauru.

========================================================
Now for the second question....  The next morning, we attended a bar mitzvah that took place literally right under Robinson's Arch, on the southern end of the Western Wall.  During the ceremony, to describe the event's significance, the rabbi said it had "location, location, location." :-)

The ceremony was on the Herodian street that ran under the arch circa AD 30. The arch, the spring, and all the stones in the wall below the arch are original from the days of Herod's construction, which began in 19 BC. The arch, the staircase, and the gate were in use in the days of Jesus when he spent time on the Temple Mount.  The area was destroyed in AD 70.
