E. TALPIOT RESIDENTS ADJUST TO POSSIBILITY THEY'RE JESUS'S NEIGHBORS
By Shelly Paz
The Jerusalem Post
February 27, 2007

A mixture of excitement and uncertainty prevailed on Monday among East
Talpiot residents who discovered they've been living all these years next to
what the new Discovery Channel movie The Lost Tomb of Jesus claims was the
final resting place of Jesus, his mother, brother, partner Mary Magdalene
and possibly their son Judah.

Journalists, photographers and curious passers-by congregated at the alleged
historical site Monday from early morning until dark.

"We moved here right after the construction of the buildings in the area was
completed, in 1982," said Tova Bracha, who lives in the building closest to
the underground tomb on which the documentary centers. "Our children got
into this cave and played in it. They told us they discovered a little cave
and found Torah scrolls in it. We went inside as well and we saw drawings on
the cave's walls. We called the authorities, and they came to close the
entrance to the cave.

"A year ago, a delegation of archeologists from Canada came here and asked
permission to get inside the cave and film it," she added. "Three weeks ago,
on my way back home, I met a journalist who asked me how would I feel if the
cave I live next to turned out to be Jesus's tomb. I was shocked, and then
she said this was the Canadian delegation's gift to Israel."

Bracha does not know what to believe. "I have read about the Israeli
archeologists' reservations but I am acquainted with the history of the area
and realize that it is possible. When we first found out about it we decided
to keep it quiet because we didn't want people to think we were crazy.

Anyway, I will be glad if this turns out to be real and Christian tourists
from all over the world come to Israel because of it," she said.

Ida Rosenfeld, another resident who lives in a building next to the cave,
said on Monday she had known about it ever since her family moved there 14
years ago. "When we bought the house there was a sign on the map the
contractor showed us that read 'burial cave.' There are many of these sorts
of burial caves in the area - on the hilly range of this neighborhood, for
example. Besides, everybody knows that no matter where you put your hoe in
Jerusalem, you'll find something old and historical," she said skeptically.

A security guard who was sent by a local security company to guard the site
said Monday he did not know who was paying for his services. The company he
works for refused to disclose the identity of the company that hired them,
he said. The Israel Antiquities Authority, Jerusalem Municipality and
Jerusalem District Police all said they had not hired the guard.
