Picture of Safra Squar Jerusalem Israel

Safra Square - named after the Brazilian Jewish Safra family who were major contributers to the project - is used for various assemblies and events, including street basketball competitions, known as ''Street-Ball'', and an annual ''Hebrew Book Week'', generally held in June - a book fair in which most of Israel's publishing houses offer their publications to the general public at reduced prices for about 10 days, from late afternoon until midnight.Photo by Rafael Ben Ari/Chameleons Eye.
