The Formation and Development of the Jewish Community in East Jerusalem

The purpose of this research is to address the development of the Jewish Community in the Old City of the East Jerusalem, the role of the Jewish settlement in the city, and its relations with Israeli government. The Jewish Community of East Jerusalem has developed demographically expanding its residence area into other religious communities such as the Muslim and Christian communities. The rebuilding of the Jewish community was started by the Israeli victory of the 1967 Six-day War after it had been completely demolished through the 1948 Arab-Israel War. The expansion of the Jewish community has been supported by two forces including the Jewish settlement movement organizations such as Ateret Cohanim, Torat Cohanim, Young Israel Movement, and Atara Lyoshna, and the Israeli government. The former groups pushed ahead with aggressive and constant settlement in East Jerusalem as a civilian settlement movement, and the latter played a key role in supporting the Jewish settlement movement financially and politically. Therefore, this research will address the development of the Jewish community in East Jerusalem, focusing the Jewish settle movement. In addition to this, this research will find the relation and implication of the Jewish community of East Jerusalem and the Jewish identity of the city.
