Early in the morning, while Sam and I slept, Elliott and Akiva took at trip to the "Noble Enclosure", the "Temple Mount", whatever you want to call it. Akiva was so impressed by the beauty of the Dome of the Rock that he dropped to his knees in front of it. Really.
The building is currently open only to Muslims but apparently exceptions are made for cute six year olds who show great respect. Akiva removed his shoes and went in to see the rock that maybe Ishmael maybe Isaac was almost sacrificed at. Elliott was not admitted.
