  • Residential Patterns of the Haredi Population in Jerusalem
    bs_bs_banner Volume 37.6 November 2013 2152–76 International Journal of Urban and Regional Research DOI:10.1111/j.1468-2427.2012.01187.x Between the Individual and the Community: Residential Patterns of the Haredi Population in Jerusalem NURIT ALFASI, SHLOMIT FLINT ASHERY and ITZHAK BENENSON Abstract This article examines how different levels of internal organization are reflected in the residential patterns of different population groups. In this case, the Haredi community comprises sects and sub-sects, whose communal identity plays a central role in everyday life and spatial organization. The residential preferences of Haredi individuals are strongly influenced by the need to live among ‘friends’ — that is, other members of the same sub-sect. This article explores the dynamics of residential patterns in two of Jerusalem’s Haredi neighbourhoods: Ramat Shlomo, a new neighbourhood on the urban periphery, and Sanhedria, an old yet attractive inner-city neighbourhood. We reveal two segregation mechanisms: the first is top-down determination of residence, found in relatively new neighbourhoods that are planned, built and populated with the intense involvement of community leaders; the second is the bottom-up emergence of residential patterns typical of inner-city neighbourhoods that have gradually developed over time. Introduction Social and ethno-religious enclaves, which form part of the urban landscape throughout the world today, are a central theme of urban studies. The creation and impact of urban enclaves was empirically studied and theoretically

The Minister of Transportation The Supreme Court of Israel sitting as the High Court of Justice [April 13,1997] Before President A. Barak, Deputy President S. Levin, Justices T. Or, E. Mazza, M. Cheshin, Ts. A. Tal, D. Dorner Petition to the Supreme Court sitting as the High Court of Justice. 154 Israel Law Reports [1997] IsrLR 153 Facts: The Minister of Transportation, assuming the powers of the Traffic Controller, ordered the closure of Bar-Ilan Street in Jerusalem to motor traffic on Sabbaths and Jewish holidays during hours of prayer. Petitioners are secular residents of the area and representatives of the secular population in Jerusalem, who claim that the decision of the Minister infringes their right to freedom of movement. One petitioner—the Association for the Rights of the Religious Community in Israel—counter-petitioned that Bar-Ilan should be closed to motor traffic for all hours on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays. Held: The Court held that the Traffic Controller was to weigh the freedom of movement of those who chose to use Bar-Ilan Street against the possible injury of such traffic to the religious sensibilities and lifestyle of the local residents.
