Beit Yisrael

Beit Yisrael (Hebrew: בית ישראל, lit. House of Israel) is a predominantly Haredi neighborhood in central Jerusalem.^[1] It is located just north of Mea Shearim on Ha-Rav Zonenfeld St 13.

The name Beit Yisrael is taken^[2] from the verse in Ezekiel 36:10, in which Ezekiel prophesies to the hills and mountains of Israel, "I shall make numerous on you the people, the entire House of Israel; the cities will be reinhabited and the ruins will be rebuilt." According to tradition, the neighborhood is built on the location on which the sacrificial remnants of the Second Temple were disposed.^{[citation needed]}
