Beneath Efrat, the Truth Flows: I Walked the Aqueduct That Supplied Yerushalayim Until 1967 . . .

. . . and it shut every liar's mouth.

You want to know who this land belongs to?

Come walk where I walked.

Not in a hotel lobby. Not on a Tel Aviv boardwalk. Underground. Through living Jewish history. Through a 2,000-year-old aqueduct that carried the waters of our ancestors from the hills of Judea to the heart of Yerushalayim.

I didn’t read about it in a book. I didn’t hear it in a speech. I walked it. I stood in the freezing spring water. I ducked through stone tunnels carved by the calloused hands of Jews who lived and died for this land. And I emerged gasping for air—not from the physical exertion, but from the soul-shattering realization of what I had just touched:

Truth.

Undeniable. In your face. Eternal. Jewish truth.
