Geula Jerusalem
Geula is named after what was once the neighborhood's main street, Geulah Street, which today is called Malchei Yisrael Street. Geula Street was the commercial center for various local communities such as Kerem Avraham, Yagiya Kapayim, Zikhron Moshe, Batei Horenstein, and the Ahva neighborhood. Today these communities are collectively known as the Geula neighborhood. Malchei Yisrael Street is lined with dozens of small shops, and the neighborhood is home to many yeshivas and synagogues.
