Communities in Jerusalem
Jerusalem has communities you'd struggle to find in any other city in Israel — the long-running Jerusalang language-exchange meetup, Heritage House which hosts guests for traditional Shabbat stays in the Old City, and communities that keep forming around neighborhoods and synagogues.
