YEMIN MOSHE

The original neighborhood of Mishkenot Shaananim only used about 1/3 of the land purchased by Montefiore. The remaining land was empty. In time, squatters took up residence, turning the area into a shanty town. Montefiore's heirs decided to build a proper neighborhood there. Yemin Moshe became Jerusalem's twenty-fourth neighborhood.
