Jerusalem - Rechavia and Beyond: 1920-Present
Rechavia was the first real modern neighborhood of Jerusalem, established during the British Mandate era that followed World War I. We will uncover this intellectual and architecturally significant neighborhood, as well as the overall contributions of the British to modernizing Jerusalem. Finally, we will briefly explore how the city continued to develop and grow from the establishment of the State in 1948 through the present day.
Our speaker, Joel Haber, will be presenting this series live from his home in Jerusalem. Joel was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Israel in 2009. He is a licensed tour guide, specializing in tours of his home city, and he also guides around the country.
