Gymnasia Rehavia

The Gymnasia Rehavia building features a prominent, expansive stone facade with rows of identical windows that once overlooked open, rocky hills. When the school opened in nineteen oh nine, it served as the first Hebrew-language high school in Jerusalem. Students like Moshe Sharett, who later became Israel’s second prime minister, walked these halls when the institution functioned as the intellectual engine of the growing city. The limestone structure remains a heavy, grounded anchor for the neighborhood’s academic and social history.
