About JerusalemGuideBook
JerusalemGuideBook is a labor of love — compiled with over 30 years of research, exploration, experience, and living in Jerusalem by its founder, Raphi Shalom, who made Aliyah in the 1990s. Over the decades, Raphi has lived in several neighborhoods and walked thousands of miles through the city's ancient streets and modern boulevards.
Any day of the week, you can find him on his bike on the Mesila, walking through Machane Yehuda, strolling down Ben Yehuda Street, grabbing a bite at his favorite falafel place (The Temani on Rechov HaNeviim), or playing pickleball at Gan HaPa'amon.
