A biographical excavation of one of the world's great, troubled cities

A remarkable view of one of the world's most beloved and troubled cities, Adina Hoffman's Till We Have Built Jerusalem is a gripping and intimate journey into the very different lives of three architects who helped shape modern Jerusalem.

The book unfolds as an excavation. It opens with the 1934 arrival in Jerusalem of the celebrated Berlin architect Erich Mendelsohn, a refugee from Hitler's Germany who must reckon with a complex new Middle Eastern reality. Next we meet Austen St. Barbe Harrison, Palestine's chief government architect from 1922 to 1937. Steeped in the traditions of Byzantine and Islamic building, this "most private of public servants" finds himself working under the often stifling and violent conditions of British rule. And in the riveting final section, Hoffman herself sets out through the battered streets of today's Jerusalem searching for traces of a possibly Greek, possibly Arab architect named Spyro Houris. Once a fixture on the local scene, Houris is now utterly forgotten, though his grand Armenian-tile-clad buildings still stand, a ghostly testimony to the cultural fluidity that has historically characterized Jerusalem at its best.

A beautifully written rumination on memory and forgetting, place and displacement, Till We Have Built Jerusalem uncovers the ramifying layers of one great city's buried history as it asks what it means, everywhere, to be foreign and to belong.

I've been using for a month
I've been using the "Free to Be Me" internal supplement for a month and I noticed a difference after a week or two, and I'm very pleased to report that I am a repeat customer and will put this on subscription. I've been a Puriya customer for many years, and use Mother of All Creams daily. Adding this product has made a real difference. My skin is sensitive in that light touches, such as hair, feathers, and even bed covers, cause an itching reaction. It's not as bad now. I have noticed less itching at bedtime and am wearing my hair down more often. I think the effect is cumulative, and the ingredients must be nourishing in a way that my body needs. I've heard that the skin is the first line of defense in the body, so I'm fortunate to find products like these that are reasonably priced for the quality, and that I can use in comfort, knowing that I am not using ingredients that are harsh in the body.

This product really Works !! Wow , I have had Ezema for 30 years and this helps !!!
I really was tired after 30 years of using expensive ointments and creams .. So hesitant about a pill formula, I said, Why not ? And I do love this Company! I had used the Mother of All Creams before and loved it but the price got a little too expensive? But I still love it ! So I tried this pill for my Ezema and let me tell you something, I was amazed at how fast it cured up my red itchy rash that had annoyed me for all last Summer ! I had even been bitten by a tick and it did not even itch !! Not joking People ! But it says take 2 pills a day , I take 3 daily because my Ezema is Chronic ! Thanks so much Puriya !! And please keep producing this product !!! M.W.

Not a recommend , was refunded
Again, maybe it helps others. Does nothing for me. I went all out and purchased the face wash, Mother of all Creams and these supplements. My skin actually got more itchy and felt greasy. So over $70. down the drain for me. The company refunded me for all 3 items. They stand behind their product. Perhaps I have a sensitivity or something of an allergy to an ingredient or 2 in the formulas. I followed instructions and it was after about a week and a half of use I just had to stop. I have always had sensitive skin.
