Jerusalem 1882: The First Aliyah and the City's New Jewish Quarter
In 1882, a small group of Jewish immigrants from Yemen arrived in Jerusalem and established a new neighborhood outside the walls — not with the backing of wealthy patrons like Moses Montefiore, but with their own hands. This episode explores the story of the Kfar HaShiloach (Silwan) community, the connection to the biblical Pool of Siloam, and the tensions with existing Arab residents. We also discuss the broader context of the First Aliyah, the role of the B'nai B'rith lodge, and the little-known Yemenite immigration that preceded the better-known waves from Eastern Europe. How did this tiny community navigate the complex social and economic landscape of late Ottoman Jerusalem? Lucas and Luna uncover a chapter that reveals the city's diverse layers of migration, faith, and daily life.
