Slept Here
BY SIMON GRIVER

Jerusalem— A guest house will
often boast of the famous people
who have slept under its roof. At
in
Mishkenot Shaananim
Jerusalem, however, the man-
agement has no need to brag.
Thousands of artists and intellec
tuals have enjoyed its hospitality
since it was converted into an ar-
tists' guest house back in 1973..
During the last year alone, do-
zens of the world's leading crea-
tive talents and scholars have
been invited to grace Mishkenot
Shaananim's ten apartments.
Indeed, recently the wheel
turned full circle when Lukas
Foss, the well-known conductor,
spent some time at the guest
house. He was Mishkenot
Shaananim's first guest back in
1973. Of course Mishkenot
Shaananim's history goes back
much further. The apartments
were built in 1860 from funds do-
nated by the American Jewish
philanthropist Judah Touro and
ministered by the Anglo-Jewish
leader Sir Moses Montefiore.
Between 1948 and. 1967 when
Mishkenot Shaananim was lo-
cated close to the Jordanian bor-
der, the neighborhood became
-neglected. After the reunification
of the city in 1967, it was Mayor
Teddy Kollek who saw Mishkenot
Shaananim's potential as an ar-
tists' guest house and with Kollek
an idea soon becomes a concrete
reality.
