The Jerusalem Gap
Well, it had to happen. For better or for worse Jerusalem now boasts her very own GAP store. (And Baby GAP too!) Now the pros and cons of this development can be easily debated and I’m sure they will be (comment away). But there is one thing people should be careful not to say: “Jerusalem now has everything.”
Indeed there is a “gap” between those that believe bringing this large American cooperation is the pinnacle of Zionism and those that pray for a renewed Zionist spirit, which through the same sort of effort used to produce this accomplishment can bring the third Beit Hamikdash to Jerusalem as well.
In the meantime, happy shopping! It’ll be good for the economy.

Is there any possibility that the Gap being in Israel could facilitate Aliya? I mean I'm sure there are those that see Mamila mall as "now I have no excuse... they really do have everything I need". Though it may be a level not as high as others I prefer to see it as hakol min hashamayim, if it gets someone to make aliya. I also heard a good perspective on Mamila in general, now there may be stores that don't represent an atmosphere of kedusha but it has been built and soon will be used when the Temple is rebuilt for holy things. BE"H!
