Hebrew University Exhibit Shows
There Were No Houses at the Wall

JERUSALEM — An exhibition
which has just opened at the He-
brew University's Jewish National
and University Library, on the
occasion of the reunification of
Jerusalem, illustrates how the area
in front of the Western Wall
looked in ancient times.
The exhibition, entitled "An-
cient Jerusalem in Literature, Art
and Maps," shows among- other
things, that the houses near the
Wall did not exist 125 years ago.
A painting, made by a pilgrim
in 1842, shows Jews praying at
a considerable distance from the
Wall; the square appears very
wide, suggesting that the re-
cent destruction of houses ac-
tually restored the square to
the situation existing before the
second half of the last century.
A photograph, from the latter
part of the 19th Century, shows
the existence of houses close to
the Wall.
In view of the interest shown in
the exhibition, the library has
added a considerable amount of
material to the display. An inter-
esting exhibit is the text of the
prayer of the Ramban, uttered
before the gates of a desolate
Jerusalem, upon his arrival in
1267 — exactly 700 years ago.
The arrival of the Ramban, as is
known, renewed Jewish settlement
in Jerusalem following the Mame-
luke conquest.
Other exhibits include: two
imaginative maps of Jerusalem
which describe it as the center of
the world, travel books written by
pilgrims, photographs of Gobelin
carpets of Jerusalem, paintings of '
Jerusalem in ancient books, etc.
Out of their love for Jerusalem
Jews portrayed the - Holy City in
a combination of fantasy and re-
ality. There are many paintings
by Jews where the Mosque of
Omar is referred to as being lo-
cated on "The Chosen Place."
The exhibition reveals the en-
. deavors of Jews to return to the
Old City, to redeem the Western
Wall and its surroundings. In
1908, the Association of the Re-
demption of the Western Wall
issued a call for the collection of
funds to rent the courtyards and

houses in the vicinity of the Wall.
In the days of the Mandate, proc-
lamations were issued by the
Irgun Zvai Leumi (Jewish Under-
ground Organization) for Jews to
pray at the Western Wall. The
first President of the Hebrew Uni-
versity, Dr. Judah Magnes, founded
a group of Jewish students which
was active from 1939 to 1947
among Jewish youth in the Old
City. The abundance of material
that exists on the Old City re-
veals its significance to Christians
as well as to Jews throughout the
centuries.
The exhibition has been set up
by Mrs. Odile Grinberg, librarian.
