Hashabat Square sits at the intersection of Malchei Yisrael and Yesha'yahu streets, marked by a stone monument topped with a flickering eternal flame. It functions as the symbolic boundary of the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Geula. During the early nineteen fifties, the square became a flashpoint for intense protests against the introduction of national service for women. Demonstrators gathered here nightly, turning the junction into a center of political and religious friction that drew the attention of the entire country.
