Casa Yelling
Casa Yelling è la casa colonica costruita dagli ebrei nella Valle di Motza, alla periferia di Gerusalemme, accanto al villaggio arabo di Qalunya. La casa du costruita nel 1890 da Joshua Yellin, figlio di una famiglia proveniente dalla Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme.
Yellin credeva che il futuro della comunità ebrea dipendesse dalla capacità di sostenere se stessa. Così incoraggiò molti ebrei a conoscere le tecniche di lavorazione dei campi. La casa da lui costruita fu uno dei segnali a indicare un cambiamento sociologico all’interno della comunità ebraica di Gerusalemme nel tardo XIX secolo.
La casa è posta nel cuore di un’estesa area rurale, con frutteti e ulivi secolari, vigneti e cespugli di rare prugne selvatiche. I resti di un edificio bizantino sono stati scoperti e riutilizzati per la costruzione di una locanda per viaggiatori nel periodo Ottomano.
In seguito, la casa divenne la vecchia sinagoga di Motza e, dopo anni di totale abbandono, è stata rinnovata nel 2006 dalla Società per la Conservazione dei Patrimoni dell’umanità in Israele, e riaperta al pubblico.
I visitatori del centro possono provare a vivere l’autentico stile di vita del XIX secolo, ascoltare storie dalla famiglia Yellin e conoscere i fatti che portarono alla nascita di Motza.
Casa Yellin si trova a 5 minuti da Gerusalemme, su Highway n.1.

altroMy family have visited Israel dozens of times but we had never heard of the Yellin House, as it is a recently conserved historical site. It is situated only a short taxi ride out of Jerusalem's center. It is always a delight to discover a new (well, old!) place to visit in Israel. The guide was informative and interesting, telling us about early pioneers and how they lived. We spent about an hour and a half listening to the guide and walking around the grounds. We then visited their charming cafe and had excellent coffee and pastries. All in all a very satisfying and informative visit- even the teenagers with us gave a thumbs up!
