JERUSALEM — Be-
tween 1948 and 1967,
Jerusalem was a divided
city. Ugly, grey cement par-
titions blocked access from
the east to the west. Be-
tween the two sectors were
refuse strewn no-man's
lands and barbed wire bar-
riers.
The city itself was a pro-
vincial backwater. Tel Avi-
vians and residents of
Amman would hurry to
complete any business that
they might have there, and
then rush back to their re-
, spective cities.
The Six-Day War left in
its wake rubble and de-
struction. But not all of it
was the result of the war. In
the period that East
Jerusalem was under Jor-
danian rule, there had been
a deliberate attempt to de-
stroy the memory of the ci-
ty's united past.
The Jewish Quarter of
the Old City had been
levelled. Yeshivot and
synagogues had been de-
filed; the vicinity of the
Western Wall had been
turned into a latrine.

Jerusalem Coming Back
By ILAN SEIDNER
Friday, November 3, 1918
been profaned and removed
from their place to be used
as building blocks and pav-
ing stones.
The task of rebuilding.
therefore, was immediate,
and not just in the eastern
part of the city but in the
western part as well, so that
the finished work would be
worthy of the capital city of
Israel and the spiritual
home, of the three great
monotheistic faiths.
Now, the results of that
work are beginning to be
seen. The new Jerusalem
has a cosmopolitan air
not to be found in any
other Israeli town.
The population has in-
creased, from 261,436 in
1967 to 356,000 in 1976, and
now Jerusalem is Israel's
largest city.
The Druzes, who broke
away from Islam in the
Tenth Century, were
granted the status of an au-
tonomous religious com-
munity by Israel for the first
time in the local commu-
nity's history. They have
their own religious courts.
There are some 38,000 in 18
villages in Galilee and on
.Mount _ Carmel.
