This new Mount of Olives community is being developed by Beit Orot and is located in eastern Jerusalem, just outside of the Old City walls. Beit Orot has developed the first living Jewish presence in two millennia on Jerusalem’s Mount of Olives. The community will host a Yeshiva where students couple intense Torah study with military service.
On January 31, 2011, a cornerstone laying ceremony was held for four new apartment buildings, each three stories high. In attendance at the ceremony were Knesset members, Jerusalem city councilmen, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and actor Jon Voight.
These new buildings are now under construction but substantial funds are needed to complete the project.
Har HaZeitim (Mount of Olives) is a hill facing the old city of Jerusalem to the northeast. Its name was derived from the olive trees that once grew on its hillside in biblical times. According to Jewish tradition, it is from here that the dead will come back to life. The Mount of Olives hillside contains the holiest Jewish cemetery in the world.
The Beit Orot community is located in the eastern section of Jerusalem which in danger of being divided in a future political settlement. Only a strong, permanent Jewish presence in eastern Jerusalem can prevent our eternal capital from being divided.
