Ir David Foundation
Ir David Foundation, commonly known as Elad () ((ヘブライ語:אלע"ד), an acronym for "אל עיר דוד", meaning "to the City of David") is a Jerusalem-based, Israeli association which aims to strengthen the Jewish connection to Jerusalem, create a Jewish majority in Arab neighborhoods of East Jerusalem and renew the Jewish community in the City of David, which is also part of the neighborhood of Silwan. The foundation works to achieve its goals by tourism, education, archaeological excavations and obtaining homes in the area to establish a Jewish presence.
==Background==
"Ir David" - or the City of David is the name given to a site beyond the southern edge of Jerusalem's Temple Mount and Old City, with the Tyropoeon Valley on its west, the Hinnom valley to the south, and the Kidron Valley on the east. Modern Jewish settlement on the ridge began in the City of David began in 1873-1874, when the Meyuchas family, a Jewish rabbinical and merchant family that had lived in Jerusalem since their expulsion from Spain, moved a short distance outside the city walls to a house in the area.〔Eliezer David Jaffe, ''Yemin Moshe:The Story of a Jerusalem Neighborhood,'' Praeger, 1988, p. 51.〕 With the outbreak of 1936 riots Jews were advised by the British authorities to leave the area since they could no guarantee their safety.〔Shimi Friedman, 'Adversity in a Snowball Fight: Jewish Childhood in the Muslim village of Sillwan,' in Drew Chappell (ed.) ''Children under construction: critical essays on play as curriculum,'' Peter Lang Publishing 2010, pp.259-276, pp.260-261.〕
The foundation was founded in 1986 by David Be’eri a former deputy commander of Duvdevan Unit, with the intention to purchase the former Meyuchas family home and other properties in the city. In 1986 they were granted the authority to work on behalf of the Jewish National Fund to reclaim land in the area. For a long time, Elad refused to provide the names of its funders and when they did they request successfully that the names be kept under privilege.〔Ahdaf Soueif, ("The dig dividing Jerusalem," ) ''The Guardian'' (26 May 2010) (29 May 2010 )〕
While the archaeological sites are clearly from at least the Second Temple Period, there is no clear evidence of the presence of King David or Solomon at the site. However, much of the narrative in Samuel and Kings I is consistent with the archaeologic discoveries, including the water shaft through which David's troops are described scaling when they entered the city and captured it from the Jebusites. The oldest archaeologic finds to date are clay document seals or bullae, containing the names of Gedaliah ben Pashur and Yehuchal ben Shelemayahu . Both names appear in the Book of Jeremiah (38:1). The two men were ministers in the court of King Zedekiah, the last king to rule in Jerusalem before the destruction of the First Temple.
