On Foot In Jerusalem
Beautiful Promenades

RUTH ROVNER

Special to The Jewish News

T

he sign reading
"Bloomfield Prome-
nade" was posted near
lush plants and vividly col-
ored flowers. Behind it was
the large windmill that is a
distinctive landmark for the
area.
A stone path, lined with
more flowers, led higher. I
followed it until it opened to
a walkway with a sweeping
and direct view of the Old
City of Jerusalem.
One of the pleasures of
Jerusalem is its varied pro-
menades. It's a pleasure that
might well be overlooked by
tourists intent on visiting the
city's many famous sites.
With such sites as the
Western Wall, Yad Vashem,
the Chagall Windows, the
Israel Museum, the Great
Synagogue and more to ex-
plore, a promenade might be
low priority on a tourist's
itinerary.
But the quiet delight of a
scenic walkway provides a
balance to high-level
sightseeing. Jerusalem offers
a variety of pedestrian
pathways that are easily
discovered.
For instance, I found the
Bloomfield Promenade
almost by chance. My actual

destination was the historic
windmill and the Yemin
Moshe quarter. But the sign,
"Promenade" was tempting;
and I decided to make a
detour first, simply to enjoy
the walk and the views.
Following the path that con-
tinued to overlook the Old
City, I came to a lively
playground where youngsters
were enjoying a shell-shaped
sliding board and splashing
around in a fountain sur-
rounded by gardens. On this
sunny day, a bride and groom
were posed in front of the
fountain as a photographer
got his camera ready.

This was the kind of scene
I would miss on a tour bus or
if I spent all my time visiting
only the well-known attrac-
tions. But gaining glimpses of
the everyday life of Jerusalem
while on a leisurely pro-
menade was another way to
understand the city.
I even came to enjoy the
small promenade outside the
Sheraton Jerusalem Plaza.
Just outside the hotel was the
garden, Hadassah Square.
There was also a wide plaza,
and on the far side, a pro-
menade with a view.
It became a daily pleasure
to stroll along the plaza, ad-
mire the garden and then
head out for my destination.
