The Batei Goral Neighborhood

Suliman Amar was born in Yemen, and his dream was to make Aliyah to
the land of Israel and live in Jerusalem.
In 1881, along with many immigrants from Yemen, Suliman made Aliyah.
The road to Israel was very hard: a lot of people died, and the money almost
ran out. In Israel, they walked for many kilometers by foot, and only after
4 difficult months the immigrants arrived in Jerusalem.
Suliman was very tired and old, and he died near the city walls, before he
entered Jerusalem.
The Yemenites in Jerusalem lived for many years without money, without
work and without a home.
In 1884 Jewish organizations help the Jews from Yemen [to] build two
neighborhoods in Jerusalem: ‘Silwan’ and ‘Batei Goral’ in Nachlaot.
