Jerusalem was once again blanketed in shiny snow on Friday.
From the Temple Mount to the Western Wall, neither Muslims nor Jews skipped their prayers. And children on both sides engaged in their favorite kind of fighting: snowball wars.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
