The Chanukah Story, Closer Than Ever at Jerusalem Estates

As we move closer to the project’s close, the ancient coins which first inspired the designers of Jerusalem Estates continue to thrill and excite, with recent archaeological discoveries more than two thousand years after the Chanukah story. This week, the Israeli archaeological community was abuzz over the latest news from the excavations near Har Habayis, which revealed a Jewish half-shekel coin from the days of the Great Revolt at the end of Bayis Sheini.

Buildings 6 and 7, HaRimon and HaEsrog, are currently under construction, right near the luxurious facilities complex along the eastern border of Jerusalem Estates. The spacious, premium apartments are characterized by their exceptional design, upgraded specs and expansive Sukkah balconies. Many of the residences boast breathtaking views of the Har HaBayis, which illuminates the city’s eastern horizon. The coin that was found bears the symbol of Building 6, HaRimon: a branch with three pomegranates on one side, and a goblet on the other, according to leading numismatic experts. But the Ramban, in his historical journey to Eretz Yisrael, tells of these very coins shown to him by the elders of Acco, which according to tradition, depicted Aaron’s staff and a jar of mann. What a fascinating discovery, just in time for Chanukah!

From the very beginning of the ideation and design of Jerusalem Estates, we worked with immense consideration for the historical aspect of the eternal city at whose heart we operate. Today, Jews across the Diaspora still raise their eyes to Yerushalayim, the city of our hopes and dreams, eagerly awaiting the complete redemption and the building of the Third Beis Hamikdash, speedily in our days.
