Beit Orot ((ヘブライ語:בית אורות)) (lit. The House of Lights), is a new Jewish settlement and neighborhood〔 〕 on the northern ridge on the Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, near the Augusta Victoria Hospital.〔 The Irving Moskowitz Yeshiva & Campus, a Religious Zionist yeshiva, is the nucleus of the neighborhood.〔(Overview ) at ''BeitOrot.org''〕 ==History== The purchase of the land that was to become Beit Orot was arranged in 1990 by Hanan Porat, an Israeli politician, and financed by Irving Moskowitz, an American philanthropist. The site was chosen for its historic significance: during the Six-Day War in 1967, Porat was a paratrooper and his commander, Giora Askenazi, was killed there in the fight for the Old City in Jerusalem.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story of Beit Orot )〕 The purchase of the land represented the first Jewish acquisition outside the Old City after the Six Day War. Porat founded Beit Orot together with Binyamin Elon.〔 〕 The purchase was controversial, as the site of Beit Orot had originally been planned as a Palestinian school,〔 〕 and the purchase of the land for the yeshiva was opposed by then-mayor Teddy Kollek,〔 but Kollek was soon voted out of office and the purchase allowed to be concluded. The project continues to stir controversy〔 〕 as Palestinian and international authorities decry continued Israeli settlement in Palestinian neighborhoods.〔 On January 31, 2011, a cornerstone laying ceremony was held for four apartment buildings with a total of 24 homes that are the beginning of the new Jerusalem community of Beit Orot on the Mount of Olives Ridge. In attendance at the ceremony were Knesset members, Jerusalem city councilmen, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, and actor Jon Voight.〔 On November 21, 2014, two people were stabbed in terrorist attack at the seminary.〔http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4594598,00.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beit Orot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
