Topic: Beit Hanina


  
 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
The projected wall in Beit Hanina[6] is only the most recent in a long history of unjust acts that have had tremendous negative impact on Beit Hanina's land and people since the inception of the occupation in June, 1967.
The partition of Beit Hanina as a result of the closure of the road between its two parts, resulted a continuous degradation of social relations and family ties.
The planned Wall is to be built on 1,430 dunams of Beit Hanina (L) land, isolating 7,000 dunams of Lower Beit Hanina's land beyond the wall and locating a military post in the center of this peaceful village.

During the 70 year exile in Babylon, Jewish houses of assembly (known in Hebrew as a "beit knesset" or in Greek as a "synagogue") were the primary meeting place for prayer.
