Khan Shaar HaGai Battle Museum

In 1948 when Israel was fighting for its independence, Jerusalem with one sixth of the Jewish population of Israel living was under intense siege.  The battle for the soul of Israel – our eternal capital – was raging and it seemed as though Jerusalem might have been lost.  At the Shaar HaGai museum we will learn about the battle for the roads, and the challenges our soldiers had when trying to capture Jerusalem.  After coming here and seeing the armored cars that fought in the battles, and hearing the personal stories of the soldiers, we can truly appreciate our modern and eternal capital city.
