Her Grandmother's Closet |

Hirut Yosef
made aliyah from Ethiopia 20 years ago. After finishing her army service, she
spent some time illustrating children's books. Then, she decided to
follow her real interest: designing clothes. The urge, the designs, and the ideas
were planted in her head by her grandmother. Today she is one of Israel's top
young designers and works with fashion houses everywhere from Tel Aviv to Istanbul. |

A Neighborhood Story |
|
Ohel Moshe
is one of the old neighborhoods of Jerusalem that were built outside the city walls at the
end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th. Named after Moses Montifiore,
it became home to some of the most important families in Jerusalem, with a
special social atmosphere of its own. A few months ago, a mural depicting the
founders of Ohel Moshe, and their families, was unveiled in the neighborhood -
an occasion for a festive gathering of the hundreds of members of these
families. Ofer Kotler and Ya'acov Shkolnik tell the story of Ohel Moshe and the
families that lived in the neighborhood.
