The Green Door Project

A few years ago, we noticed something striking: Jerusalem, for all its richness and history, has surprisingly few green spaces and quality playgrounds where children can play and communities can gather. This observation sparked the Green Door Project, an initiative focused on creating more greenery and shared public spaces throughout the city.

In 2025, our first project was completed in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City: the Faradoussi Garden. This 8,500-square-foot green space now serves as a shared community garden — a place that encourages connection, sparks conversation, and brings together people from all walks of life.

Today, the garden is a welcoming area where neighbours can gather and children have the freedom to simply be children.

Faradoussi Garden is the first of several projects we're supporting in Jerusalem's Old City, including the restoration of the historic Galitzia Rooftop.
