Glatt Kosher < K j Diamond K nwcv AHTE that the Torah forbade them to leave the Old city — that only Yosef Rivlin had the courage to make the move and build a home for himself on the new land. Since his wife too refused to abandon the security of the walls, Mr. Rivlin was obliged to live en- tirely alone for several years. He ensured his safety by plan- ting trees around his house, erecting a stone wall and in- stalling a bell and flashes on his roof to sound the alarm, should danger arise. When, three years later, his friends saw that Mr. Rivlin was still alive and well, they too followed and by 1875 the seven little houses they had built had become 50 and in- cluded a synagogue — the first outside the walls of the Old City — a bakery and a printing press. By 1890 the population numbered 120 and by the turn of the century, Nahlat Shiva was a bustling community of artisans and shopkeepers, of Ashkenazim, Sephardim, Greeks, Moghrabim, Orthodox and secular, all living in harmony. With the rapid growth of the new city, however, the quarter found itself dwarfed and encircled by modern buildings. Its own, meantime, had fallen into disrepair and original facades lay hidden under tin roofs and makeshift extensions. Occupying a prime site in Jerusalem's central business sector and in need of a major overhaul, Nahlat Shiva was slated for demolition to make room for roads and office blocks. Then in 1988, as final plans to raze the quarter were about to be put in motion, it was agreed that Nahlat Shiva be saved for posterity. "We succeeded in passing a rescue plan at the eleventh hour," ex- plains Yitzhak Yacobi, direc- tor of the Jerusalem Develop- ment Corporation. "This put the quarter under a preserva- tion order for renovation and development." The task was entrusted to Mr. Yacobi's own capable hands. A historian by profes- sion, Hungarian-born Mr. Yacobi has been responsible for changing the face of Jerusalem, renovating Yemin Moshe in the '60s, the Jewish Quarter in the '70s, Ben Yehuda Street in the '80s and now Nahlat Shiva. "We want Nahlat Shiva to become one of the city's main shopping centers," he says, "with elegant boutiques and restaurants. Residents will be able to stay on in spite of the renovations.
