Study Abroad Guide: Jerusalem

Facebook Tweet
Corey Cantor   July 13, 2011  (Updated: October 26, 2014)

Of all the cities in Israel, none is more celebrated and cherished than Jerusalem. The capital city sits towards the center of the country and is home to Hebrew University, where many American students attend. Brown University Junior Leor Shtull-Leber, studied abroad in Jerusalem and explained the interesting duality of the city: “On the one hand it has very religious people, and then you have the really hip scene.”

The Old City (built prior to the creation of the modern state)

“Religion is a huge part of my life, so some of my favorite places in the city are seemingly religious pillars like the Kotel (Western Wall) and Hurva Synagogue.The Old City is also a great place to explore, buy little gifts for your friends.”

-Emily Cole Young, graduating senior from CUNY Hunter

The Bagin Museum

“It’s a new type of museum, where, instead of looking at pictures, you feel like you’re in a scene. Videos act out parts of Israel’s sixth prime minister, Menachem Begin’s, life. ”

– Leor Shtull-Leber

Ben Yahuda Street

“It’s perfect to hit up during large sport events or holidays because many young Israelis and Americans go out there.”

Kikar Tzon

“I love going to the bars in Kikar Tzon in Jerusalem, and getting a hookah and beers with chasers (which, in Jerasualem, are shots), and hanging out with friends.”

– Emily Cole Young

The City of Tel Aviv

”There are a million clubs, lounges and bars and nights that have discounts for people with foreign IDS or unlimited wine and cheese nights.”

– Emily Cole Young
