The Botanical Garden appeared in Jerusalem in the thirties but was located near the university on Mount Scopus. When she ended up in the Jordanian enclave, new buildings were built on Givat Ram, and the garden moved here.
Jerusalem and Safed are perhaps the most winter cities in Israel. The most beautiful time for them is Hanukkah. This December 2022, the Jerusalem Botanical Garden is hosting a festival of light under the heading Lights of Winter. We were going to visit this place, but before dark we decided to have lunch at Mitham haTahana - the old railway station of the city, turned into a modern entertainment center. See how it was.
