Rechavia.
Liza describes life in Rechavia as “quiet and not so con-
centrated.” People live on different streets and, as city life
goes, don’t always have the opportunity to connect with each
other. “You have to try to be friendly; you receive as much as
you put out there. It’s not like living in a close-knit commu-
nity, where just being there creates an active presence.” On
the other hand, Liza admits, “it’s also nice, because you can
have your private time. People aren’t too much in your face.”
People typically live in Rechavia out of convenience, because
it’s so central. There are also many retirees who seek to
spend their golden years in a quiet neighborhood. Although
the Even-Israels own a car, Liza says it’s not necessary in
Rechavia, because public transportation is so frequent.
Liza compares the mixed community of Rechavia to near-

lots of English heard on the streets. Liza notes that Sha’arei
Chesed has the most prized real estate, because it’s small
