“Dreamers and Builders” – Following the founders of the first neighborhoods beyond the Old City walls

We will stroll among ancient stone houses, through courtyards and alleyways, tracing the tracks of the pioneers who dreamed and paved the path to the new Jerusalem, the largest city in the country….

We will hear about the dangers that the neighborhoods’ residents faced: some real, some imaginary…. We will learn about a “cursed” flour mill, the nobleman’s chariot, housing for Jerusalem’s poor and housing for those seeking a higher living standard, the seven brave ones, and one resourceful rabbi who led his community beyond the city walls – to a life of comfort.

The sites of the tour include the neighborhoods of Mishkenot Sha’ananim, Yemin Moshe, Mahane Israel, and Nahalat Shiv’a.
