I was walking to the Italian Jewish Art Museum when I spotted this institution for the first time.
I wasn't familiar with Southeastern University but I figured this must be another new Jerusalem branch of an American college, most likely Protestant, probably Evangelical.
.
Back home, I Googled and found two opposing views of this school:
Southeastern's Jerusalem campus website vs. an anti-"missionary" Jewish website
.
As I have written many times, nothing is simple in Israel; life is always made complicated.
.
Complicated or non-boring?
ReplyDeleteFascinating for sure.
Well... you do live in a very "interesting" controversial, historical, complicated place, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope they are not recruiting new souls and converting them. But at least they got the architecture right... it fits right into the Jerusalem landscape.
ReplyDeleteBeing Italian helps, nothing is so strnge to us...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. May be I am a pessimist, but I notice that every change is often a worsening, in all fields!
ReplyDeleteYou made a nice discovery, Dina! It's always great to find new places out on a walk.
