You
will want to have For
The Sake Of
Jerusalem
as part of your library because it is the most up-to-date book in
English that documents Jewish life in Jerusalem's Old City for the past
100 plus years. For The
Sake Of Jerusalem is the historical record about the
Yeshivot,
Synagogues, and Jewish Leaders of this period.
Historic
photographs throughout the book, many taken by Aharon Bier, help to
document how Jewish life developed in the Holy City during the last
century. Many of these pictures have never been published prior to
appearing in For The
Sake Of
Jerusalem!
For The Sake Of Jerusalem
will
provide you with a very clear picture of how the Jewish community in
the Old City lived - and survived - on a daily basis while under the
governance of the Ottomans and the British, then to war with the
Jordanians in 1948 - and finally to Israeli control in 1967.

About The
Author and
The Editor
Aharon Bier
-
guide, author, and photographer - was personally involved in
the
rebuilding of the Old City of Jerusalem from 1967 until his untimely
death in 1987. He was one of the first to photograph and
write
about Jewish sites throughout the Holy City. In the 20 years
that
followed reunification,
Aharon Bier actively worked to make the Old City a vibrant and active
community. Unfortunately, he did not live to see many of
his projects completed.
Bracha
Slae has translated, edited, and added
to the research of Aharon Bier, to provide an up-to-date picture of
Jewish life in the Old City. A resident of the Old City for
almost three decades, Bracha Slae’s intimate knowledge of the
people
and places within the walls, and her vast experience as a guide, has
inspired her to prepare this book.
