Yemin Moshe Jerusalem Israel

Yemin Moshe is established in 1891 by Moses Montefiore outside Jerusalem\'s Old City as a solution to the overcrowding and unsanitary conditions inside the walls, and eventually named for him. Few people were anxious to live there at the time, because the area was open to Arab marauders. The original houses were built with a wall around them and a gate that was locked at night. Mishkenot Sha\'ananim, as the first houses were known, consisted of two rows of buildings. The first was completed by 1860 and contained 28 apartments of one-and-a-half rooms. The compound also had a water cistern with an iron pump imported from England, a mikveh and a communal oven. The second row of houses was built in 1866 when a cholera epidemic was at its height in the Old City. Some of the people who took up residence in the new neighborhood refused to stay there at night, but that year, the demand for apartments rose as illness spread. On of the most famous landmarks of Jerusalem is the windmill was built in Yemin Moshe with the idea of weaning the residents from their reliance on the halukka, or charity. Moses Montefiore, the British Jewish philanthropist who founded the neighborhood, believed that a mill could provide them with a source of livelihood, but it never became operative. Yemin Moshe is now an upscale neighborhood surrounded by gardens with a panoramic view of the Old City walls. The original complex of buildings has been turned into a cultural center and guesthouse for writers, intellectuals and musicians.Photo by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye

Mishkenot Sha\'ananim Jerusalem Israel

Mishkenot ShaÕananim ,Tranquil Abode, was the first Jewish neighborhood built outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem, on a hill directly across from Mount Zion.Financed by Sir Moses Montefiore, the building was dedicated in 1861 and providing housing for 20 families. Since it was outside the walls and open to Bedouin raids, pillage and general banditry rampant in the region at the time, the Jews were reluctant to move in, even though the housing was luxurious compared to the derelict and overcrowded houses in the Old City. As an incentive, people were even paid to live there, and a gate was built around the compound with a heavy door that was locked at night. After the reunification of Jerusalem following the 1967 Six-Day War, Mishkenot Sha\'ananim was turned into an upscale guesthouse for internationally acclaimed authors, artists and musicians visiting Israel. Apart from guesthouse facilities, it is now a convention center and home of the Jerusalem Music Center. Photo by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye

Mount Zion Jerusalem Israel

Mount Zion is a hill just outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The term Zion became a synecdoche referring to the entire city of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel.There is reason to believe that in Biblical times the name Mount Zion referred to the area of what today is called by Jews the Temple Mount. However, as early as the first century the hill today called Mount Zion had acquired the name for unknown reasons.Important sites on Mount Zion are Dormition Abbey, King David\'s Tomb and the Room of the Last Supper. The Chamber of the Holocaust (Martef HaShoah), the precursor of Yad Vashem is also located on Mount Zion. Another place of interest is the Catholic cemetery where Oskar Schindler, a Righteous Gentile who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews in the Holocaust, is buried. The winding road leading up to Mount Zion is known as Pope\'s Way (Derekh Ha\'apifyor) because it was paved in honor of the historic visit to Jerusalem of Pope Paul VI in 1964. Between 1948 and 1967, this narrow strip of land was a designated no-man\'s land between Israel and Jordan. Photo Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye
