The Greek Colony ((ヘブライ語:המושבה היוונית), ''HaMoshava HaYevanit'') is a neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel, bordering the German Colony and Katamon. ==History==
The lands of the Greek Colony were purchased by wealthy members of the Greek Orthodox community in the early 20th century. Archimandrite Euphthymios of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre encouraged them to establish a neighborhood outside the Old City's overcrowded Christian Quarter.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕 Architect Spyro Houri designed the first twenty homes and a community center before World War I.〔Kark, R. & Oren-Nordheim, M. (2001) (Jerusalem and its environs: quarter, neighborhoods, villages, 1800-1948 ) Wayne State University Press, p173〕 Most of the Greek Orthodox residents fled before the Israeli War of Independence in 1948. After the war, apartment blocks were hastily built to accommodate large numbers of Jewish immigrants from Yemen and Morocco.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕 In the 21st century, the neighborhood underwent gentrification and is now one of the most expensive in Jerusalem.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕 The Greek Colony community center, consisting of five buildings, organizes regular cultural activities that include traditional Greek dancing and Greek language classes.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕
