"In the Footsteps of Menachem Begin" Tour - Jerusalem

As part of the activities sponsored by the Begin Center marking the 15th anniversary of his death, the Center invited people to come in the footsteps of Menachem Begin in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

In Jerusalem, some 60 persons took advantage and saw his first apartment on Alfasi Street in Rechavia, Deir Yassin, the old Knesset building, Zion Square, the Museum of Underground Prisoners and the King David Hotel.

Here are some photographs of one of the Jerusalem tours, led by Yisrael Medad:



Listening to Yaakov Yahalom, a former Lechi fighter

who participated in the Deir Yassin operation, at the village



Walking towards the former Central Jerusalem Prison, now a musuem



In the Museum grounds after visiting the gallows room

and the cell where Meir Feinstein and Moshe Barzani blew themselves up
