Next stop: the Jerusalem head- quarters of Hebrew Union Col- lege with its striking architecture. Inside the spacious grounds, set back from the street, I felt I'd wandered into an elegant Span- ish villa, complete with central courtyard, balconies, arches and lush gardens with palm trees and flower beds. Back on the street again, I passed the modern complex, King David's Court, with its offices and shops. Across the street at #20 was a weathered old synagogue, Heichal Baruch. New and old, the secular and the sacred, side by side, typifying one of the contrasts of Jerusalem itself. I continued walking until I reached the foot of King David Street where the walls of the Old City were clearly visible. Nearby was a newly opened modest bed and breakfast hotel, Mmdmilla's. The hotel scene on King David Street will be even more varied when Hilton International opens opposite the Old City walls in fall 1996. Reversing direction, I went back up King David Street, enjoying the animated street scenes. I saved for my last stop, the landmark stone building, the Jerusalem In- ternational YMCA, with its 152 foot high central tower. The amenities of this unusual YMCA include an outdoor court- yard and cafe and an ornate indoor lobby with Oriental rugs and vault- ed ceiling. This Y is actually a three- star hotel, the Three Arches, with 56 newly renovated rooms. It also has an observation tow- er with a spectacular view of the city and environs. Reservations clerk Najat Rofa offered to take me to the top. First, we rode up in the elevator; and when it stopped, we still climbed one more flight of winding stairs to reach our destination. From every direction, there was a panoramic vista, with maps posted at several spots on outdoor decks. From one position, we saw modern Jerusalem. From another, we saw the walls of the Old City, east Jerusalem, and Mount Scopus. Then, stepping back into the tower and out onto another small lookout, we were facing the towns beyond Jerusalem. Ms. Rofa, a native of the city, pointed out Beit Safafa, an Arab town, and Rom- ena, a Jewish town. Both had the Judan hills as backdrop. From another vantage point, we had a view of the handsome facade of the King David Hotel. We could also see all of King David Street and beyond. Seeing it from on high, with the entire city as background, was a fitting finale to my excur- sion — a visual reminder of the beauty of distinctive street and the city it typifies. ❑ ISRAEL EL.11/AL...W/..r ELIVALN--t- `95 - AWARD WINNING TOURS ALL TOURS INCLUDE 2 NIGHTS IN EILAT 18 Days - CHOICE DEPARTURE DATES: MAY 4 • MAY 11 • JUNE 1 • JUNE 29 • JULY 13 AUG. 3 • AUG. 31 • OCT. 12 • OCT. 19 • NOV. 9 17 DAYS - APRIL 25 15 DAYS - MAY 25 • OCT. 5 "THE ULTIMATE FAMILY EXPERIENCE" OUR SPECIAL BAR/BAT MITZVAH PROGRAMS CELEBRANT GOES FREE !
