About this Event

From Urusalim to Jerusalem

While many are aquatinted with Jerusalem's beautiful landscapes, its glorious past and rich culture - it still is a land of mystery for many.

The walk will aim at introducing attendees to the four different quarters of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives through storytelling. We will also make an emhasis on the Caucasian Jewish groups' heritage in Jerusalem, while trying to understand how did Jerusalem become a home for all three Abrahamic religions.

Our public lecture and walk will be led by Lasha Shakulashvili (https://www.facebook.com/fl.lasha/).
