Have you ever wondered what it would be like to stand on a hilltop overlooking a bustling city? Well, right here in Pisgat Ze’ev, you can experience that very feeling. This neighbourhood, nestled on a hilltop known as Ras at-Tawill, provides an excellent panoramic view of Jerusalem. The name Pisgat Ze’ev, which means “Ze’ev’s Peak” in Hebrew, was chosen in honour of Ze’ev Jabotinsky, a prominent Zionist leader. Pisgat Ze’ev was established in 1982, and it quickly became one of Jerusalem’s most popular neighbourhoods, attracting families and young couples seeking affordable housing. The streets of Pisgat Ze’ev are a testament to Israel’s military history. Many are named after Israel Defense Forces units that fought in the country’s wars, like Sayeret Duchifat Blvd., HaSayeret HaYerushalmit St. and Sayeret Golani St. In this neighbourhood, you might even come across a hidden treasure – an archaeological park. In this park, you will find a memorial dedicated to the fallen soldiers of Israel, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for the country. But Pisgat Ze’ev is not just about historical significance, it also plays a significant role in protecting the environment. In collaboration with the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel, residents transformed a former dumping ground into a vibrant wildflower sanctuary. This sanctuary is now home to over 55 species of trees and plants. A walk through Pisgat Ze’ev is sure to be a journey through time and a celebration of both history and nature.
