Over the past several decades investors have seen “once-in-a- gen-
eration” market events seemingly take place every few years. These erratic market movements are the result of a fundamental change that has occurred in the nature of the stock market. The catalyst for the change? Technology. Improving technology has dramatically increased the speed and efficiency with which institutional investors (hedge funds, pensions, endowments, sovereign wealth funds, etc.) are able to move vast sums of money into and out of securities. Computers can now trade with one another instantaneously and anonymously, allowing even the largest investors to sell positions rapidly. The rise of computer-driven trading has left the stock market increasingly susceptible to a negative “feedback-loop” style crash, where automated selling generates more automated selling - sending indexes plunging. Barron’s magazine highlighted in its cover story on Oct. 16th, that assets run by computer-driven “trend following” strategies have doubled since 2007 and now total nearly 1 trillion dollars. It warns that when asset prices start to fall, these quantitative portfolios are designed to automatically sell positions to avoid losses for their users. Today we are in the midst of an upswing and all is calm in the market. The synchronized behavior of trend following investors has depressed short term volatility and has left equities with remarkably high valuations. We believe the unusually high equity prices seen today are a function of investors buying into an uptrend without regard for fundamentals. When this current trend reverses, these same investors will seek to exit their positions all at the same time, initiating the negative feedback loop and causing the major indexes to drop. In this scenario, Wall Street insiders will already be watching safely from the sidelines and it will (again) be the “Buy-and-Hold” investors that bear the brunt of the investment losses. At ETF Momentum Investing, LLC we believe the best way to protect your assets in today’s computer-driven marketplace, is to incorporate trend following into your investment portfolio. Our quantitative strategy employs a risk management system that detects reversing trends and automatically reduces exposure to that asset class before widespread selling accelerates. We developed our investment process working with real clients, before, during and after the global financial crisis. We use defensive, model-driven strategies to systematically trade asset classes ranging from U.S. equities to cryptocurrencies. We help investors of all sizes diversify through trend following. Let us put a risk-reducing plan in place for your assets before this uptrend ends. As a Registered Investment Advisor and a Fiduciary, we always put your best interests first.

Fishers dancer represents state By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Gabby Mullins was one of 50 dancers photographed for the book “Dancing Across the USA,” and she photograpghy was the only dancer chosen to represent the state of Indiana. Mullins, 14, is a Fishers resident who dances jazz, ballet, lyrical and tap. She dances at the Dance Magic Performing Arts Center in Lawrence. Author Jonathan Givens photographed all ages and types of dancers for the book. Mullins was photographed in August 2016. Recently, she traveled to Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., for the release of the book. “Jonathan traveled to all 50 states and hand-selected dancers to represent their state, and I was selected for Indiana,” Mullins said. “This past weekend was the book-launch of ‘Dance Across the USA’ in Ft. Lauderdale. All the dancers could get together and Jonathan could sign our books and we’d get to meet everybody from all the different states.” Mullins applied for the position after her mother saw an ad on Facebook. After a rig-

orous selection process, she was chosen to represent Indiana. Dancers in the book range from ages 5 to 61. “It was really cool to see all the different ages and see no matter what age you are, you can still dance and still have passion for it,” Mullins said. “Hearing why everybody loved to dance was really cool and to see that portrayed out in the book.” Mullins said her love for dancing stems from the activity allowing her to express herself. “It allows me to express my feelings and not just use words and actions,” she said. “It’s an escape for me. I would love to continue to dance into college and after.” For more, visit danceatusa.com.
Suarez works to enlarge Conner Prairie’s footprint By Renee Larr • news@currentinfishers.com Conner Prairie is well-known locally, but newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer Susana Suarez wants to make the interactive history museum become history a global destination. Suarez was chosen from more than 200 applicants to oversee all marketing and communications. “It's very exciting, especially in light of the fact that Conner Prairie is on this wonderful growth track,” said Suarez, a ZiSuarez onsville resident. “They have really exciting plans for the next year. For me, as the CMO, coming in as someone who has a communications and marketing background, to be able to walk into an organization that is really poised for growth is very exciting.” Suarez previously served on Gov. Eric Holcomb’s senior executive team. She also
has served on several museum board of directors. Her love of history helped spark her interest in the CMO position. “I was very happily engaged doing the work I was doing with the governor. When I first became aware of Conner Prairie, I became a member and visited often with my children,” she said. “When I heard about this opportunity there was just something that said to me this is perfect. This is what I want to do.” She wants to work toward growing the museum’s global footprint. “Our goal is to make sure that folks outside of Indianapolis know that this Smithsonian-affiliated museum exists and what it’s all about,” Suarez said. “We not only want to create awareness but make it a destination goal for those coming in from out of state and out of the country.” Her vision includes sharing her love for Conner Prairie with others. “I'm very happy the executives saw what I saw – a great alignment of opportunity and preparation,” Suarez said.

LPD Explorer Post becomes largest in state, welcomes 12 new Explorers By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com The Boy Scouts of America Law Enforcement Career Exploring Program often is the first look teenagers get into a career in law enforcement, and Lawrence Police Dept. recently held a swearing-in ceremony for 12 new ExplorCOVER STORY ers in the Lawrence Police Explorer Post No. 160, making the post up to the largest in the state. According to the Boy Scouts of America, LPD’s Explorer Post also is the longest running in the state, and the new Explorers make 33 individuals who have been involved in the program. Explorers assist LPD in parades and traffic Hofmann control, but LPD Chief David Hofmann said the program digs even deeper. Explorers learn firearms safety, ride along with LPD officers and can even choose to be exposed to a Taser or chemical spray. “All this stuff, it’s not just kids putting on neon vests to direct traffic at a Fourth of July parade,” said Hofmann, who became chief in 2016. “They really get an exposure to most aspects of the career.” Those ages 14-21 can participate. Explorers must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.0, but Hofmann said many excel with a 3.0 or higher. Although the program is Sharp under the Boy Scouts of America umbrella, males and females, regardless of Scout involvement, may participate. “Many of our current, full-time Lawrence Police officers started their careers as LPD Explorers,” Hofmann said during the swearing-in ceremony Dec. 6. “The unit offers young adults a personal awareness of the criminal justice system through training, practical experiences, competition and many other activities. Additionally, the Explorer Unit promotes personal growth through character and leadership development, respect for the rule of law, physical fitness, good citizenship and patriotism.” LPD officer Brian Sharp was a part of Lawrence’s Explorer program at age 14, then moved through the ranks, joining the department as a reserve officer in 2000 and a full-time merited officer in 2005. Sharp gives credit to the Explorer program for exposing him to the department. “As an explorer, you start building relationships with some of the officers,” Sharp said. “You make a lot of relationships with the administrative staff. As you’re progressing through this program, they’re seeing how you’re growing up, how you’re learning, how you’re dealing with the public while you’re assisting in traffic. They watch you grow and see how you’re progressing.” “Our Explorers get many opportunities to experience new

things and see new places and thrive in an environment where they learn self-discipline, self-worth and leadership, and develop a strong work ethic,” Hofmann said. “Additionally, it is my hope that we are developing a pool of strong individuals who will be eligible to, and want to, join the ranks of Lawrence Police Dept. officers in future years.” Sharp said the program isn’t to scare kids straight but to provide a true eye-opening experience. “It’s for people who are interested in law enforcement and are curious,” Sharp said. “It’s about team-building. You learn leadership because there (are) ranks within the Explorers that mirror the police department. The ranks in the program build those leadership skills and so forth.” For more, visit the Lawrence Police Explorers Facebook page.

In the moment
Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Commentary by Terry Anker We humans like to count things – especially temporal things. At the end of the day, we reflect on the day and prepare for the day ahead. The clock strikes on the hour to signify the same – beginning and end. Tick, tock. As the hours advance, we count them all. And with the waning days of December, our collective thoughts turn to the year rapidly closing. What did it bring? What did we find in it? Perhaps more importantly, what did we make of it? Reflection is a good thing. It can fortify and educate us. But it also can trap us in a loop of angst about the fleeting nature of our lives. Moments fade and opportunities close. Yet, with each end there also is a bright promise of a new year. Certainly, our prospects expire with each instant. We know that our days on earth are numbered, and with every twilight we are a bit further down our own path. Still, we so rarely notice the passage in the instant. Why do we busy ourselves with the mundane and then, as we are reminded of the calendar, find that our lives are moving faster than we can process? Would we benefit if we could see time as it travels and not only in the aggregate? Or, would our contemplation of every instant prevent our enjoyment of them, much like the amateur photographer who is so caught up in photographing life as it occurs that he/she ends up missing much of the life that is happening? What is the balance between recognizing the passage of time and still not being held captive by it? How do we find peace in a long life while working to savor every moment?

REA D ER ’ S V I E W
Cartoon characterization is in bad taste Editor, I write to express my dislike for the recent CURRENTOON published in the Dec. 12 issue of your newspaper. I agree, Mr. Sen. Al Franken's behavior was and is an aberration. On the other hand, unless you have information I am not aware of, Mr. Campbell's character-
ization of Mr. Franken's mother is equally despicable. I am concerned that any review of this expression would be approved for publication in our community. If I am the only individual to express disgust for the content of this item, it would be of even greater concern to me. Gregory Ulm, Fishers
Caring for others
Editor, I was somewhat confused when I read “Standing Still” (Terry Anker column published Dec. 5) in Current. After attending a Christian church worship service, I was able to more clearly understand the statement that is key to the editorial: We must brace ourselves to provision these folks for the entirety of their lives. You summed up the message of Jesus in the New Testament. As support for your statement, I offer two
portions of Scripture. 1 Matthew 25: 31-47 (NIV) and 2 Luke 9: 10-13. You were right! Jesus doesn’t ask us to judge or determine whether our fellow human beings are worthy of our assistance. Rather, he reminds us as we have to “brace ourselves to provision these folks for the entirety of their lives.” For the full letter, visit currentinfishers.com. Pamela Kielty, Noblesville
It’s that time again, friends, to set ourselves up for failure and criticism and perhaps even an infinity scarf of humor guilt should we fail in our lofty endeavors. I’m speaking, of course, of New Year’s resolutions. Don’t get me wrong. I think the idea of taking a moment for reflection to see where changes and/or improvements can be made is wonderful. You can start over and set goals to encourage a better you. The problem is, NYRs are impractical. For starters, I’ve just survived a fourweek marathon of family, shopping, traffic, flu-like symptoms, meat and booze, and in the post-race tent, I’m in absolutely no condition to analyze my behavior. I need hydration and rest before seriously committing to a year with less swearing and less soda. Secondly, most of us aren’t going to successfully meet our resolutions, anyway, which for me will lead to a self-mocking mantra of “I suck.” I’m a List Girl, and if I put a promise to paper, I feel compelled to check it off. Until I do, that “thing” will not only haunt me, but it will judge me in its haughty, two-dimensional space, creating frustration and anxiety in my already chaotic world. For 2018, then, I’m postponing any New Year’s resolution-making until I can get my exhausted family back on track. Then, and only then, will I decide whether competing in the “hang on until spring break” race is more important than a fruitless pronouncement to curtail cussing or my aspartame intake (not that you’ll ever know because I won’t be writing anything down). If not, so be it. Life’s more interesting with the Fword and Diet Coke, anyway. Peace out. Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at danielle@ currentincarmel.com.

A bad Christmas rap Commentary by Dick Wolfsie Most men can’t wrap presents. And it annoys them when they watch women do it so effortlessly. Men who do know humor how to wrap gifts certainly won’t admit it. If your bowling partner knows how to bake cookies, that would be the kind of thing you discover by accident. “Whoa! Sorry to barge in on you, Chuck. Marge said you were in the kitchen, so I figured you were downing a six-pack.” Christmas morning, everybody knows which gifts dad wrapped. It’s a pretty universal notion that if the ends of the package are crumbled up like a big spit ball, it’s a present from dear ol’ Dad. This year, I wanted to learn how to giftwrap, so I went to YouTube for visual aids. Results showing men doing the task? Exactly two. The first one was a video of a Japanese man demonstrating an ancient secret wrapping technique. I bet this guy can solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. Then there are clips of a scene from the movie “Love, Actually,” where Alan Rickman watches the fastidious sales clerk (Rowan Atkinson) as he takes F…O…R…E…V…E…R to gift-wrap the necklace Rickman has
purchased. Into the gift box go cinnamon sticks, flower petals and some glitter. All done with a flourish as Rickman squirms— as any man would. If you search for: MEN KNITTING or MALES QUILTING, there are loads of examples. But men wrapping gifts? Just those two. Have you ever seen males hoarding items that come pre-wrapped? “Is that a gift for your wife?” I asked a friend in line at Kohl’s. “Yes. It’s either a compact umbrella, a coffee mug or an emergency flashlight. I dunno. But it’s already gift-wrapped.” I’ve always bought my wife big gifts. Not big in the sense of expensive or memorable. I mean BIG. Because when you give a large gift, it’s OK to not wrap it. A new patio grill? Not what Mary Ellen wanted, but I can just throw a red ribbon and bow over it. This year, Mary Ellen has agreed to wrap the holiday presents I bought for her. Uh oh, she’s calling for me, so I better go help. I think her blindfold fell off.

Dispatches Avoid rash investment decisions – Investors hear so much conflicting information and advice in the media these days that it’s easy to become confused and make decisions based on emotion rather than on sound financial advice. To avoid making rash decisions, stay focused on your investing goals and educate yourself about current market conditions. Also, understand your own tolerance for volatility and talk with a trusted financial advisor before making any changes to your portfolio. Source: Jason Labrum, Labrum Wealth Management Financial resolutions – If you resolve during 2018 to improve your finances, paying down debt is a great way to start. If you have multiple sources of debt, use the avalanche method. The avalanche approach is the most financially efficient because your extra payments go to the loan with the highest interest rate. Once you've paid off the debt with the highest rate, move on to the loan with the next-highest interest rate. Source: Fidelity Investments

Master drummer coming to Palladium By Rick Morwick • rick@youarecurrent.com In the time before telephones, long-distance communication was a challenge throughout much the world. But in Kwesi Brown’s home nation of Ghana, conveying messages to distant villages was never more performance than a drumbeat away. “Before the telephone was in use in Ghana, we used to communicate through the drum,” said Brown, an Indianapolis resident who was born and raised in the tiny West African nation. “The drum can imitate the language of the people.” No one knows that better than Brown, an enthnomusicologist and master drummer who will share his knowledge and talent during his Jan. 6, 10:30 a.m. performance of “Global Rhythms With Kwesi Brown” at The Palladium inside Carmel’s Center for the Performing Arts. Part of The Palladium’s ongoing “Peanut Butter & Jam” children’s series, Brown’s show will feature an infusion of sounds from Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, the Caribbean, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil, with a sprinkling of Western pop and soul blended in.

Fishers resident earns title role By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Jacob Butler views himself as a bit of a latecomer to the acting world. “I didn’t start acting until theater my senior year of college at Ball State when I was 21,” Butler said. “The Civic Theatre in Muncie was holding auditions for ‘Into the Woods’ and, after seeing the film and Broadway recording just that past Christmas, I knew I had to audition.” Butler was in choir in elementary school and band in middle and high school, but those were his only experiences performing in front of people until he got the role in “Into the Woods.” Butler performed as Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde in “Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical” with the Indiana Performing Arts Initiative and portrayed Quasimodo in the Indiana premiere of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” with BOBDIREX. Now, the 23-year-old Fishers resident has the title role of Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at Civic Theatre at The Tarkington in Carmel. The performances conclude Jan. 7. “The role is a fun one because of the

people you get to interact with along the way,” Butler said. “You get to work with so many talented actors and it’s always fun seeing what the creative team behind the show comes up with. And most people have heard the story and or seen the show before, so I feel like the show is very nostalgic for audiences. So, it’s fun getting to tell the story again for them. There aren’t too many challenges that come along with being Joseph because the brothers, wives and other actors are the ones doing most of the work. Joseph’s name may be in the title, but this show would be nothing without everyone else.” For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Artist captures wildlife beauty By Mark Johnson • news@currentinfishers.com Noblesville’s Bruce Neckar doesn’t conider himself a wildlife artist. “It just happens,” he said. “There is no formula.” Yet, Neckar’s Noblesville arts studio features a vast array of wildlife art. “I love animals, birds, especially migratory birds, but I’ll only draw those here in Indiana,” he said. Born and raised in Noblesville, Neckar has dedicated his life to the arts. A 1971 graduate of Ball State University, he said people are often surprised by his artistic background. “It’s funny,” said Neckar, whose wife, Karen, also is an artist. “People don’t know that I was a classically trained artist. My mother was an art teacher. As a kid, I was spoiled. I always had art materials. I had always wanted to be a print-maker, but I found it to be too restrictive. I always loved drawing. I like to paint, also, but I like to use my hands a lot. I rarely use brushes.” Although his main gallery is in Atlanta, Ga., Neckar’s commitment to the Noblesville area and its art community remains strong.

“We have a cadre of really good artists in the Noblesville community, like my very good friend John Reynolds, who encourage each other in our endeavors,” Neckar said. “We have painters, printers, photographers who all exhibit together. There are so many local organizations here as well. The Hoosier Salon Gallery in Carmel will have its 94th consecutive exhibition next year.” Yet, Neckar also manages to devote time to the charitable organization, Casting for Recovery, of which Neckar said he is most proud. Casting for Recovery features a fly fishing event that aids breast cancer survivors. You can follow Bruce Neckar on Facebook.

Where’s Amy gives a 10-star salute to the Indiana Ballet Conservatory for its spectacular four-day, sold-out performances of “The Nutcracker” at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. From start to finish, these young dancers shined and dazzled the audience. One fun fact about the IBC’s “The Nutcracker” is it brought in Boston Ballet’s own Lasha Khozashvili for his seventh time dancing with the students. It also was exciting to see students of all ages dance gracefully alongside faculty members Sergey Sergiev and Hailey Agran. Trust me, IBC is full of rising young professional students who are the stars of tomorrow. The dancing, colorful costumes, traditional Russian set designs and lighting created a magical feeling that soared throughout the theater in every dance and song. Kudos to IBC lead dancers and Carmel residents Alexandra Manuel, Quinn Starner and Rickao Suzuki who traded off nights to perform as the Sugar Plum Fairy. The entire cast and crew played an important role making IBC’s “Nutcracker” a true crowd favorite this holiday season. For more, vist indianaballetconservatory.org

Quinn Starner (Carmel) was stunning in her role as the Sugar Plum Fairy.
“Star Wars” fans John Sangiorgio (Fishers) Sarah Caudill (Fishers), Dean Baker (Geist), Ritch Caudill (Fishers), Kleve Kleverson (Fishers) and Joe Greiner (Geist) came for the specialty brews and fun.
Where’s Amy attended the special sold-out premier party for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” at Flix Brewhouse in Carmel. The night included photos with Star Wars characters, vendors, “Star Wars”-themed crafted brews and a chance to join The Force and watch the long-awaited blockbuster on the big screen. The film is full of amazing special effects, old and new characters and was definitely exciting for “Star Wars” fans of all ages. Grab your friends and family and check out “The Last Jedi” at Flix, and may the force be with you this holiday season.

The best way to lead off a New Year Commentary by Curtis Honeycutt It’s resolution time, which means your local gym’s treadmills will be in high demand while they glisten with grammar guy other people’s sweat (until roughly the end of February). You’ve probably set some goals for yourself and defined ways you’d like to be more awesome in 2018. Allow me to suggest an additional resolution: To win at life with better grammar. We can start right now. Since it’s time to lead off a new year, let’s examine the words lead and led, which often trip us up (just like that treadmill you set at a slightly-too-ambitious speed). Lead is an example of a heteronym. Heteronyms are homographs that are spelled the same, have different meanings and sound different. Lead is not only a heavy metal with a short e vowel sound, but it also is when someone is in charge, or ahead of something (as a verb) or a position of advantage in a competition (as a noun), and has a long e vowel sound. Where lead gets tricky is when people incorrectly use the word led in its place. When you were in first place, you were in the lead; you led the race for 19 laps. Use led as the past tense for the verb lead (the one that rhymes with bead).
The confusion, of course, is when lead (like the metal) and led (the past tense verb) go head-to-head. These words are homophones, which are homonyms (words that sound the same) with different spellings. Homophones trick us, kind of like the small print in the gym membership stating we can, under no circumstance, quit the gym. This paragraph is a lightning round to clear up any other lead/led related words. Leed (with a long e vowel sound) is a Scottish word for language or speech. Led Zeppelin (with a short e vowel sound) was an English rock band, which, ironically, was one of the pioneering bands in the genre of heavy metal music (not pioneers in lead, the literal heavy metal). One of their favorite venues was Leeds University (pronounced with a long e vowel sound). So, if you’d like to get the lead out on 2018, I suggest you lead the way by working out with Led Zeppelin blaring in your earbuds. And wipe down the treadmill before you use it. Curtis Honeycutt is a freelance humor writer. Have a grammar question? Connect with him on Twitter @curtishoneycutt or at curtishoneycutt.com.

Freezing gravy – With the holiday season here, it’s likely someone in your household will be making gravy. Flour-based gravies freeze well and can be kept in the freezer for up to four months. So, make extra on Christmas and freeze it for later. Milk and cream based gravies should not be frozen because they will separate when thawed.

Salted butter can be left out in an airtight container or crock for about two weeks if the kitchen is 70 degrees or less. Unsalted butter should always be refrigerated. Source: MSN.com
Indiana’s Spousal Maintenance Statute: Can I Get Financial Support After My Divorce? One of the most common questions we get asked during a divorce is regarding alimony. Does Indiana have it? What about spousal support? Will I have to pay either to my ex? The short answer: no. While Indiana does not require parties to pay alimony or spousal support, Indiana does recognize what is known as spousal maintenance. Genevieve Keegan-Bedano

Spousal maintenance may be awarded in a divorce or legal separation, but under limited circumstances. The physical or mental incapacitation of a spouse, the physical or mental incapacitation of the parties’ child, or what Indiana coins “rehabilitative” maintenance are all circumstances in which a court may award spousal maintenance. Of course, a spouse can always agree to voluntary pay another spouse maintenance or alimony, but let’s take a closer look at the statutory circumstances that a court may order maintenance. If a spouse’s mental or physical incapacitation affects their ability to support himself or herself, a court may order the other spouse to pay maintenance. The courts can take in to account the disabled spouse’s ability to earn income as well as the other spouse’s ability to provide for maintenance. A key take away from this provision of the statute is that the court may find maintenance necessary, which means a judge may use his discretion when determining whether to award maintenance. If the parties are the parents of a child who is physically or mentally incapacitated, the court may find an award of maintenance appropriate. This depends on a few things, one of the most important being whether the child’s incapacitation requires the spouse needing maintenance to forego employment. Another factor the court will consider is whether the parties have assets or marital property available to them that would allow them to provide for the spouse and the child’s needs. It’s important to note here that a court has complete discretion to determine what they deem appropriate in terms of the amount and length of maintenance that is necessary.
Courts can award what is known as rehabilitative maintenance, which is the most common of the three types of maintenance awarded in a divorce, if the spouse requesting rehabilitative maintenance lacks an ability to support himself or herself due to lack of education or training. In these cases, courts look at several factors, some being the education level, training and employment experience of each party both at the time of marriage and at the time of divorce, the earning capacity of each party, the extent to which a spouse sacrificed education and/or employment because of homemaking or child-care responsibilities, and the time and expense necessary for the spouse to find appropriate employment. While a court’s decision to award rehabilitative maintenance is discretionary, the maximum length of time this type of maintenance can be awarded is 3 years. What happens if you’re ordered to pay spousal maintenance and then you lose your job? The statute does allow for modification or revocation of an award of spousal maintenance, however the circumstances are, again, limited. Like the laws surrounding modification of a child custody or support order, a court can modify a spousal maintenance order under 2 different circumstances. If you can prove there’s been a substantial and continuing change in circumstances that make the current order unreasonable, you’ll have a good argument to modify. The second route to getting a modification is a two-prong test that’s less straightforward. If you can prove you’ve been ordered to pay an amount in child support that differs by more than 20% of what you should be paying under the Indiana Child Support Guidelines and that order was at least 12 months prior, you may be in luck. As you can see, the parameters surrounding spousal maintenance are limited. If you have questions about spousal maintenance, divorce, or any other family law matter, the attorneys at Hollingsworth & Zivitz, P.C. have the experience, the understanding, and the compassion to assist with your family law needs.

Southern end of Temple Mount in Jerusalem. (Photo by Don Knebel)
Mount of Olives: Meeting place Commentary by Don Knebel A single place in Jerusalem provides a view of sites holy to three of the world’s great religions. travel At the time of Jesus, King Herod, who ruled on behalf of Rome, refurbished the Jewish Second Temple and significantly extended the Temple Mount on which it rested. The Temple Mount is just west of the Mount of Olives. Many Jewish people believe their expected Messiah will walk down the Mount of Olives toward the Temple. In anticipation, Jews have long been buried on the Mount of Olives. Early followers of Jesus welcomed him as the Messiah as he rode a donkey down the Mount of Olives toward the Temple on the day Christians call Palm Sunday. Jesus then preached from the southern steps of the Temple Mount. In 70 A.D., the Romans crushed the First Jewish Revolt, razed Jerusalem and demolished the Second Temple. After the Second Jewish Revolt in 135, Romans rebuilt the city, named it Aelia Capitolina and barred
Jews from entering except on one day a year. After Christianity became legal in the Roman Empire, Christians began settling in Aelia Capitolina, reportedly using the barren Temple Mount as their garbage dump. Muslims captured the city in 638, named it after Jerusalem and built the Al-Aqsa Mosque near the southern end of the Temple Mount. Some Muslims believe the resurrected dead at the end of time will walk across a narrow bridge suspended between the Mount of Olives and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which has become the third-holiest site in Islam. In 1888, Russian Orthodox Christians opened the Church of Mary Magdalene on the Mount of Olives across the Kidron Valley from the Temple Mount. The gold-domed church, AlAqsa Mosque and the southern steps of the Temple Mount can all be seen from a spot in what is now East Jerusalem.
