Special to The Jewish News
oel Salomon Street,
downtown Jerusalem:
a cafe bar advertises
free cocktails for its "happy
hour." Next door, a tiny
Chassidic synagogue en-
courages passersby to join its
afternoon service. Up above, a
pretty flowered balcony offers
hand-crafted ceramics for
sale. In the narrow alleyways
behind Yoel Salomon, more
little synagogues can be
found juxtaposed between art
galleries and restaurants.
And at the southern end of
the street, in a handsome,
newly renovated building
with arches and gabled roof,
Israel's newest English news
magazine, The Jerusalem
Report, prepares its editions.
Such is the unique
character of Nahlat Shiva: a
maze of little alleys and one-
story houses sandwiched bet-
ween the main thoroughfares
of Ben Yehuda, Jaffa and
Hillel. The third oldest
Jewish neighborhood to have
been built outside the city
walls, Nahlat Shiva today
combines a distinctive blend
of old and new and, since its
recent facelift, has become a
major calling point for
tourists and Jerusalemites.
The very name Nahlat Shiva
("Heritage of the Seven"), and
its streets, tell the unique
story of how seven courageous
men of vision came together
in 1869 to found a new Jewish
community outside the wall-
ed city. Courageous they were
indeed, for in 1869, despite
the terrible overcrowding and
unbearable conditions that
exited in the Old City, few
Jews dared venture out, let
alone attempt to live in what
was to them unknown and
unprotected territory.
y
Mishkenot Sha'ananim,
established in 1860, and
Mahane Yisrael, established
in 1868, the two new com-
munities that had been
established beyond the walls
a few years earlier, were still
small and undeveloped.
But the increasing necessi-
ty of establishing new urban
quarters for Jerusalem's
Jews, made even more urgent
by the cholera epidemic of
1866, spurred seven well-to-do
Ashkenazim, Josef Rivlin,
Yoel Salomon, Michl
Hacohen, Leib Hurwitz,
Beinish Salant, Yehoshua
Yellin and Chaim Halevy, to
seek a plot of land for develop-

ment outside the walls. On
the pretext that they needed
the land in order to grow
wheat for Passover matzot,
they persuaded Arab vendors
to circumvent Ottoman
legislation, and sell them a
field. Only Turkish nationals
were permitted to acquire
land, so registration of the
purchase was made in the
name of Leib Hurwitz's wife,
Esther, a Turkish subject.
Mrs. Hurwitz nonetheless
deemed it prudent to dress in
the guise of an Arab woman
when she went to sign the
documents in the presence of
the Turkish Kadi.
Duly purchased, and
registered, the field was divid-
ed into seven lots for each of
the founders, but such was
the mood and fears of the
time — many Jews believed
