The Rehavia neighborhood's main traffic artery, Aza Street, is often shut down for protests, among other reasons. Since Oct. 7, the area around Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem's Rehavia neighborhood has been somewhat of a closed military zone. One of Jerusalem's largest urban renewal initiatives has begun in the Katamonim neighborhood. The SOHO project, led by Kidmat HaYovel and Africa Urban Renewal, will replace 376 outdated apartments, housed in five buildings constructed in the 1960s, with nearly 1,000 residential units spread across five modern 35-story towers. During the coming year, entrance to the Israel Museum will be free for children and teens under 18 who are residents of Jerusalem.
