We Sephardim are normal. Where does it say in the Torah or the Talmud that one has to wear black clothes? CK, I agree with you. We Sephardim are normal.

I personally understand the need for everyone to mention that all kinds of Jews were there, but frankly the charedim outnumbered us 'normal' (admit it ck, very poor choice of adjective) people by 1000 to 1, no maybe 10 000 to 1. That's how I felt, I didn't see very many seculars (with the creased fold-up kipas) at all. Very few 'modern-othodox'. Probably not importnat enough to take time off work. As for the great mix of Jews, it was certainly incredible to be in a crowd with a total heterogeneous mix of... ...ultra-othodox of all flavours: Shas, Litai, Ashkenazi, Breslov, children, yeshiva bochers, old guys with white beards, etc... Best reason to take 5 hours off work, the experience was tremendous. We've lost a giant. May he now fight for mercy on us in the great court in the sky.

Rabbi Marc Gopin writes about it at length, and Eliyahu MacLean of the Sulha was intimately involved. Basically, they were very close to getting major press coverage when then-President Clinton agreed to be there for the signing ceremony. CNN and of course everyone else were going to go live with the event. Then, at the very last second, I believe there was a bombing, and the delicate balance Clinton was trying to broker between Barak and Arafat was once again shaken, setting everything back. So Clinton couldn't make it to the signing, and what could have been the most important event, an actual peace agreement between two venerable religious leaders, was thwarted to the point where pretty much nobody knows of its existence. The point is, though, that Rav Kaduri and the Sheikh came together. That, I believe, is one of the events we should remember Rav Kaduri by.
