Pro-Israel American-Jewish actress Roseanne Barr visited the small Jewish community living in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem on Sunday morning, accompanied by Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev.
Barr, an outspoken Zionist, had asked to visit the quarter’s Wittenberg House, run by Israeli organization Ateret Cohanim, because famous U.S. author Mark Twain stayed there in 1867 during his travels in the “Holy Land,” which he famously documented in his book “The Innocents Abroad,” Arutz-7 reported.
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, founder of the World Values Network, which is financing the visit, also accompanied Barr.
