Well, so far, this earth has already succeeding in bringing together two couples!!!<br \/>\nThe first couple to marry is&nbsp; Yael Stone and Shmuel Kadoshi. Yael and Shmuel are both staff members&nbsp; at the project. Shmuel has been working with us for over&nbsp; a year, and Yael joined us recently. They fell in love immediately.<br \/>\nSome Jewish communities have a tradition&nbsp;where the&nbsp;groom dabs ashes on his forehead at his wedding. The ashes are applied just before breaking the glass and reciting the following verse:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget her skill.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ashes are meant to serve as a reminder of the destruction of the Temple&nbsp; The&nbsp; soil from the Temple Mount is characterized&nbsp; by its fine, grayish and dusty texture. This texture is&nbsp; due to the large amount of ashes the soil contains, remnants of&nbsp; the destructions of the First and Second Temples. The level of ashes&nbsp; have colored all the layers of soil that preceded the destructions. and are found all over Jerusalem . Since the beginning of the Sifting Project many couples have chosen to use&nbsp;&nbsp; earth from the Temple Mount to practice&nbsp; this tradition, something that Shmuel and Yael&nbsp; chose to do as well.<br \/>\nThe second couple that&nbsp; were&nbsp; joined together by the earth from&nbsp; the Temple Mount&nbsp; are Tzila Reizmovitz and Eran Yaakobi. They were engaged two weeks after Yael and Shmuel and&nbsp; married two weeks ago. Tzila has been working with us since the beggeningof the Project as a registrar. She is considered one of the&nbsp; pillars of the project. Eran has been&nbsp; with us for a year and half , and has become the deputy to&nbsp; Asaf Avraham, the site manager. It took them some time to finally decide to get together, maybe&nbsp; because Tzila\u2019s job doesn\u2019t give her a chance to touch the earth&nbsp; very much.<br \/>\nJewish tradition relates marriage as rebuilding one of the ruins of Jerusalem. May these two new houses be accompanied with these words from Lecha Dodi:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Temple of the King, Royal City. Arise! Leave from the ruins of the turmoil.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Judaism, a person is considered complete&nbsp; only after marriage.
