Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Musrara also known by its Hebrew name, Morasha (Hebrew: ) is a neighborhood in Jerusalem. It is bordered by Meah Shearim and Beit Yisrael on the north, the Old City on the south and east, and the Russian Compound and Kikar Safra to the west. Musrara was founded by upper class Christian Jordanian Arab settlers during the late 19th century, as a part of the "departure from the walls," during which people began living outside the Old City of Jerusalem. During the Israeli War of Independence, the Arab residents left their homes, and at the war''s end, Musrara remained on the Israeli side of the border between Israel and Jordan. During the early days of Israeli statehood, there was an extreme shortage of housing for the thousands of olim (immigrants) who flooded to Jerusalem. As a result, the Ministry of Housing decided to populate the abandoned houses with olim from North African countries. Due to its proximity to the new border, the residents of Musrara were exposed to daily attacks from Jordanian snipers stationed along the border, who did their utmost to disrupt the lives of the residents.
