Sha'arei Hesed

Sha'arei Hesed

Sha'arei Hesed (also Sha'arei Chessed) ( _he. שערי חסד, lit. "Gates of Mercy") is a neighborhood in central Jerusalem bordering on Rehavia, Nahlaot and Wolfson Towers.

One of the founders of the neighborhood was Yoel Moshe Salomon, who also founded Nahalat Shiva. ["Between Redemption and Revival: The Jewish Yishuv of Jerusalem in the Nineteenth Century" Jeff Halper, Westview Press, Boulder, San Francisco, Oxford, 1991, p. 220] In recent years, Sha'arei Hesed has become a Haredi neighborhood, as old-time Jerusalemites move out. The area is undergoing gentrification, and many homes have been purchased by affluent Orthodox Jewish families from abroad, [http://www.welcome-home.co.il/eng/info/Neighborhoods.asp] especially from English-speaking countries. The neighborhood has several yeshivot, among them Maalos Hatorah, Midrash Shmuel and Noam HaTalmud, and a large number of synagogues.
