Neighborhoods Yemin Moshe - Mishkenot Shaananim The first Jerusalem neighborhood built outside the Old City walls back in the mid 1800s by Sir Moses Montefiore. It overlooks the Old City walls, and today is populated by artists, after extensive renovations. The landmark Montefiore Windmill, which was built to generate income for the local population, still stands, as does a display of Montefiore’s chariot that he used when in Israel. This charming neighborhood is a favorite place to stroll and hear the tales of Jerusalem of Old.
Old City of Jerusalem Continuously settled by at least a core of religious Jews (save from numerous interruptions) for almost 3000 years, the old city of Jerusalem is the story of Jewish glory and devastation, with each stone telling a unique story. Highlights of any tour include the Kotel, the Hurva, and the Cardo, which tell the trials and tribulations of our nation throughout our tumultuous history.
Nachalaot The most eclectic neighborhood in Jerusalem. Nachlaot is a composite of a number of smaller neighborhoods, and as diverse a neighborhood as you will find anywhere, with hippie types and devoutly religious Jews living side by side. From the early Yemenite settlers, to the Eastern European Jews, to the students of Bezalel Art Academy, each one has carved their own niche and carried on their individual tradition. Come see the people and walk the quaint streets of a neighborhood that sings so many different tales!
Mea Shearim-Geula Although just a few hundred meters separates the Ben Yehuda the Mea Shearim neighborhoods, these two neighborhoods are many worlds and many centuries apart. Stroll the streets and be taken back to the lost world of the Shtetl, or at least as close as you can get to it in the 21st century. But be aware not to offend the locals or their sensitivities, as they are fiercely protective of their lifestyle and their adherence to modest dress.

Bucharim Established in 1891 by Jews from the Russian Caucasus, the Bukharim section was built as a luxury neighborhood, not only surpassing its poor neighbors in Mea Shearim and Geula but even European standards of the day. Bukharim may be from the most interesting neighborhoods in the city and certainly worth a tour of its abundance of landmarks.
Shaarei Chesed Established in the early 1900’s, with its cornerstone laid by the then Chief Rav of Yerushalayim Rav Shmuel Salant, the neighborhood quickly gained fame thanks to the piety of its residents. Come see the homes and hear the stories of its stars from Betzalel the Holy milkman to the tzaddik Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach and his brother-in-law Rav Shalom Schwadron. But come fast as the original neighborhood is disappearing, with lavish homes taking its place.
Har HaMenuchot Cemetery Not exactly what most people refer to as a neighborhood, but on the outskirts of Yerushalayim is one of the “liveliest” neighborhoods in the city. Here you will meet the great personalities who made Yerushalayim what it is today, as well as legendary Jewish leaders from the entire world who were brought here to be interred. You will be awestruck standing at their feet and hearing their stories, and praying for your needs in their merit. They may not communicate with us directly, and we cannot enter their homes, but through their words and accomplishments they are still among us, alive and well!
Private Guided Tours If you’d like a guided tour of any neighborhood or of Har HaMenuchos, Agent Israel will create a tour to suit your needs, time constraints, and interests.
