Construction began Wednesday on a new Jewish neighborhood in the Beit Orot yeshiva complex on the Mount of Olives. The new homes are in part of the city that fell under Jordanian control from 1948 to 1967 – what the western media often terms “east Jerusalem.”
The neighborhood will be bordered by other Jewish homes, as it is part of a chain of majority-Jewish neighborhoods that includes French Hill and the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus.
The project is starting small, with 18 homes in three three-story buildings. The homes are meant for married men learning in the yeshiva and their families and are expected to add to the growth of the campus.
