Announcing the publication of "For The Sake Of Jerusalem"
By Aharon Bier (z'l) and Bracha Slae, Editor
Commemorating 40 Years of Reunification 1967-2007
You will want to have For The Sake Of Jerusalem as part of your
library because it is the most up-to-date book in English that
documents Jewish life in Jerusalem's Old City for the past 100 plus
years. "For The Sake Of Jerusalem" is the historical record about
the Yeshivot, Synagogues, and Jewish Leaders of this
period. Historic photographs throughout the book, many taken by
Aharon Bier, help to document how Jewish life developed in the Holy
City during the last century. Many of these pictures have never been
published prior to appearing in "For The Sake Of Jerusalem"!
"For The Sake Of Jerusalem" will provide you with a very clear
picture of how the Jewish community in the Old City lived - and
survived - on a daily basis while under the governance of the
Ottomans and the British, then to war with the Jordanians in 1948 -
and finally to Israeli control in 1967.
Includes Index and Glossary
Rabbi Berel Wein wrote: "It is history, cartography, photography, and
inspiration all rolled into one attractive, readable and knowledgeable book."
About The Author and The Editor
Aharon Bier - guide, author, and photographer - was personally
involved in the rebuilding of the Old City of Jerusalem from 1967
until his untimely death in 1987. He was one of the first to
photograph and write about Jewish sites throughout the Holy City. In
the 20 years that followed reunification, Aharon Bier actively worked
to make the Old City a vibrant and active community. Unfortunately,
he did not live to see many of his projects completed.
Bracha Slae has edited, and added to the research of Aharon Bier, to
provide an up-to-date picture of Jewish life in the Old City. A
resident of the Old City for almost three decades, Bracha Slaes
intimate knowledge of the people and places within the walls, and her
vast experience as a guide, gives her the background to prepare this book.
