An Alcohol Free Bar In Jerusalem? Huh?

It looks like the mayor of Jerusalem is pioneering a new way to prevent foreign youth from getting drunk in the city. I think MADD would be proud.

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency) Lugar opened its doors in central Jerusalem on Monday with a teetotaling format geared toward minors.

The initiative was conceived by Mayor Uri Lupolianski following growing evidence that youths in Jerusalem, including many foreigners on study visits, were increasingly abusing lax controls on alcohol consumption in public places.

I’m not too sure how successful this bar will be, but if it actually works you’ll be able to add this to the stack of problems solved by Jewish ingenuity.
