The famous windmill at Mishkenot Sheananim
For almost 4,000 years, Jerusalem was confined to the walled city. Only 150 years ago Jerusalem began to expand beyond its walls fulfilling the prophecy, “to the right and the left you shall burst out”. We will explore the first pioneering neighborhoods built beyond the walls including a tour of the Mahane Yehuda Market.
