Kiryat Moshe

Kiryat Moshe (Hebrew: קריית משה) is a neighborhood in Jerusalem, named for the British Jewish philanthropist Moses Montefiore.

Designed by the German Jewish architect Richard Kauffmann, these neighborhoods were based on clusters of single family homes surrounded by gardens and greenery.

[2] From the outset, Kiryat Moshe projected "Hebrew" pioneering, home to merchants and later teachers and bus drivers, both prestigious groups in the new Jewish society.

Kiryat Moshe was designated as a national-religious neighborhood, and many rabbis and leaders of the Mizrachi movement settled there.

[3] Educational institutions in Kiryat Moshe include Merkaz Harav yeshiva and Machon Meir.
