Fellowship 9-11
http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2651184

ifilm.com has a library of good shorts to watch online. Among the best is director, Rick Nyholm,s film which makes fun of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11". Adam, from adamsweb.us says, this short 15 minute internet film "hilariously dispatches Michael Moore with humor. Fellowship 9-11 takes Hollywood's self-appointed truth-defender into the world of Hobbits, Elves, and Dwarves to prove that Aragon's war on Mordor was a plot to get oil. From beginning to end, this film parrots Moore's style and alleged substance with brilliant humor."

Israel's Western Wall is a surviving remnant of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by Titus in 68 C.E. The Temple Mount is also called Mount Moriah. This is the spot where Abraham bound Isaac, and where Jacob dreamt of the ladder reaching to heaven. The Sages prophesied that after the Temple's destruction, the Divine Presence will never leave the Western Wall. For this reason, the Wall will never be destroyed. For centuries the Jews have watered the Wall with their tears and melted the stones with their kisses. Now you can watch the wall through a live web cam
