The Israel Land Fund, headed by Aryeh King, is searching for two families who want to move into large apartments in Arab eastern Jerusalem. The apartments have five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three porches each and are being offered at the low rental price of 1,600 shekels ($400) a month.

The Israel Land Fund actively purchases and maintains Jewish property in largely Arab areas. King explained that the two apartments he is currently offering in Beit Hanina were purchased by Israelis who believe Jews should live in eastern Jerusalem.

“The building is near the Jerusalem neighborhood of Neve Yaakov,” King explained. “Living in Beit Hanina is not like living in a normal Jerusalem neighborhood, but people who live there feel a sense of Zionistic idealism.”

Seven Jewish families currently live in the building where the two apartments are located. “Buying the apartments isn’t the problem,” King said. “It is more difficult to find people to move into them.”
