Jewish Families Move into Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City
(Ha'aretz) - Nadav Shragai After more than a decade of trying to buy a building near the Damascus Gate in the Muslim quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem, three Jewish families moved in Sunday. A Jewish donor bought the building from the Arab family that previously lived there. Some 58 Jewish families and several hundred yeshiva students live in the Muslim quarter. The building will be named Beit Baruch after Baruch Lerner, a victim of the Moment Cafe bombing, who was a security guard in the Old City.
