Craft fair and demo space
Looking for the Jerusalem Municipality's Friday morning tour (whose starting point what obscured by both the Hebrew and English listings on the city's extensive website) I discovered the craft fair the stretches up Shatz street from King George and then up the tail beginning of Bezalel St, next to the School of Architecture. Fridays from 10 AM.
The tour (it starts outside the original Bezalel building on Shmuel HaNagid) ended at the "old" Knesset building next to Gan HaSoos (the park withe horse sculpture). I learned that the building had been a cookie factory and that the site of the current Knesset building was chosen partly because there is ample space nearby for demonstrations.
At least that's what the guide said. The plaque on the building says it was built to be an apartment house. I like the cookie-factory story better.
