The City of David is proud to launch a new Visitor's Center in Jerusalem, located at the Armon Hanatziv Promenade. The new structure, built from Jerusalem stone, serves as a significant landmark for all visitors to the city.
The Mount of Olives cemetery, though usualy treated as a single cemetery, is comprised of several adjacent cemeteries, each one owned and run by a distinct Chevra Kadisha (burial society). The operation of all the Chevrot Kadisha is overseen by Moetzet Batei HaAlmin HaYehudim B’Yerushalyim (Council of Jewish Cemeteries in Jerusalem) and the Ministry of Religious Services.
