The Jerusalem governorate has denounced an Israeli plan to build a large yeshiva in the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. The construction, already approved by the authorities, threatens to displace Palestinian families and reignite conflict in an area considered the epicenter of the dispute over the city's sovereignty.
3D modeling and surveillance: the digital tools of the new project 🏗️
The plan includes 3D modeling of the building and a perimeter surveillance system with high-definition cameras. Developers will use construction management software to coordinate construction timelines, minimizing interference with the neighborhood's daily life. The infrastructure includes a study center with capacity for 500 people, equipped with efficient climate control systems and fiber optic connectivity.
The yeshiva that will study the art of forced coexistence 📚
Future students will be able to study sacred texts while, from the window, they contemplate the homes of their new Palestinian neighbors. An intensive course on legal interpretation could include a practical module on how to explain to residents that their expropriation is, in fact, an educational opportunity. Quite a record: learning and evicting at the same time.
