Movie PDA by Star Wars babe not kosher
I've been to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. The location conveys a sense of history and faith even to the non-believer. So I can't imagine what director Amos Gitai was thinking when he filmed a kissing scene there with Natalie Portman and Aki Avni. Sometimes there are just some places where a PDA, even if part of a movie, is just not acceptable. Since the Wall has separate areas for men and women to pray, you would think the behavior would have been obviously off limits, even if this weren't the holiest site in Judaism.
