This is in one of the public parks in Jerusalem, taken in 1995, Tal is 6 years old. In the background you can see the Walled City of Jerusalem.

This is Yamin Moshe, the first neighbourhood built outside the old city of Jerusalems walls. Named after Moses Montifiore (Moses=Moshe in Hebrew) who funded the project it is still a very beautiful place even today.

And this is one of the newest housing developments in Jerusalem, even the smaller apartments cost close to
$US1 million, I am afraid to ask how much the large places cost. Most are owned by people who are not living in Israel, so the streets here are almost empty.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:History, Architecture, Religion, its got it all
  • Cons:Too crowded and too fanatically religious
  • In a nutshell:Nice to visit but would not want to live there
  • Last visit to Jerusalem: Feb 1995
