JERUSALEM — Rabbi Neal Katz of Tyler’s Congregation Beth El was in Israel when rockets struck Tuesday during that country’s ongoing violence. KETK reports Katz has been in Jerusalem helping lead a guided tour and doing a 10-day study program. On Tuesday as he left class, sirens went off, causing him to take shelter. Katz said, “I’m not fearful…there’s…100,000 tourists here right now, and there’s a highly skilled military response to all the stuff that’s going on with the rockets.” Katz says there’s just a different sense of normalcy over there, and that is why he feels safe.
