Imaginary Residents


There are a number of beautiful murals painted around Jerusalem (yes that's a painting, look closely).

Here is one from (the top of) Ben-Yehuda Street.

King George

King George V Street is best known for some of the important building (and hotels) that line this street (though others simply know it as the road that leads to the top of Ben Yeduah Street).

Pictured below is the Great Synagogue (with Heichal Shlomo on the left), the new Avi-Chai Center, and The Yeshurun Synagogue.



If you’re wondering why a street in Israel is named after a British King then wonder no more.

King George the Fifth was king of Britain in 1917, which was when Britain announced the Balfour Declaration, which declared this British territory to now be the State of the Jews.

Name that Street


Without looking below, can you name the street that connects Hillel to King George, while passing by Ben Yehuda?

Hint: It houses the Ministry of Immigration.
