We help you see more of Jerusalem...We are launching new social and educational programmes: every month, we will organize several guided walks and tours in and around the city of Jerusalem, aimed at discovering the sleeping beauty of the city, its charming attractions, and the intense history behind its stones. Our first guided tour date will be announced soon, but we now know that it will cover the city's main historical gates (Herod’s, Damascus and Jaffa); the tour will also stop at several imperative stations. 21st November 2010
Our new home is open ...Several hundreds of Jerusalemites, foreign residents of the city, representatives of European Community and handful of Journalists have joined the Educational Bookshop owners and staff at last night's opening of their new premises at 19 Salah Eddin Street. Several authors and dignitaries attended the inauguration, including father Attalah Hanna, Raja Shehadeh, Jeff Halper, Amira Hass and Ray Dolphin amongst other community leaders and public figures. In his speech, father Hanna spoke strongly about the central role of the book in the “Jerusalemites’ cultural resistance”, he saluted the Educational Bookshop for their “phenomenal initiatives and efforts” and he encouraged the youngsters of the city to take this unique opportunity and make full use of the premises and it functions.
