Beit Yaakov
Beit Yaakov is the historical building on 9, Ha'ain Het st. in Musrara.
According to one version, the building was erected at the end of the 19th century by a rich man from Ethiopia for his lover. According to another version it was built by a Palestinian family in the 1930s.
After the 1948 war, the building was turned into a school for the children of the neighborhood - whose parents were mostly immigrants from north Africa.
The school was run by ultra orthodox Jewish educators. On the first floor there was a school for girls - "Beit Yaakov"
and on the second floor was "Yesodey ha-Tora" (Tora Elementary) for boys. The school closed at the end of the 1960s and is now the home of the Naggar school of photography in Musrara
