Six years after after his last visit, Singapore’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, came for a moving visit to the Western Wall and to the Western Wall Tunnels and said, “The Jewish community of Singapore is very connected to Jerusalem, and we are very happy about the stronger relationship with the State of Israel.”
The rabbi of the Western Wall and holy sites, Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, and the director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Mr. Mordechai (Suli) Eliav greeted the Foreign Minister and told him about the Jewish nation’s profound connection with Jerusalem and the Western Wall.
