Pontea and Will as Shlomo
My name is Shlomo, I live in the Jewish quarter of the old city, Jerusalem. I was born here, and I just had my bar mitzvah next to the Western Wall. God said, "You should learn, then do," so I start learning at 7:30 in the morning and end at 7:30 at night every day. There's no real way of studying, you just do it, and that's that. Each person has their own qualities, and each person is meant to do something. I don't know what I was meant to do, but it's okay because I am only a kid.
—Shlomo is an ultra-orthodox Jewish boy and son of a rabbi in Jerusalem. A rabbi-in-training, Shlomo spends twelve hours a day studying the Torah. Shlomo says that he has no conflict with the Arabs, he puts his faith in God, and believes peace will come with the arrival of the Messiah.
