The Last Battle

Porat Yosef Yeshiva under attack during the Independence War

The defenders of the Jewish Quarter in 1948 fought valiantly to defend their homes.

This tour will take us to the places where soldier and simple citizens had the courage to take up arms.

 We will enter the Zion Gate, which was breached by the fighters of the Palmach.

We will stand in the simple guard posts, manned by strength of will and a few bullets. In the end, we will reach the monument which marks the former location of the mass grave of the fallen, as well as Batei Machase, the site of the ultimate and tragic surrender.
