A dear fellow blogger recently emailed me asking if I had the article Next Year In Jerusalem. A few years back a rabbi in the Aish office was kind enough to send it to me, off the record. Since then they seem to have gotten permission from Rolling Stone to post it on line. I vividly recall reading the article in its original form, in the Melbourne hotel over Pesach, when I was a kid. You can find the article here.
