Busy shopping street in Jerusalem, 1938

Men and women pass shops with Hebrew signs while automobiles move along the street. Such footage from Jerusalem in 1938 shows the lively everyday life of the city's Jewish neighborhoods, which had grown steadily through immigration during the 1930s. The street scene was likely filmed in one of the newer districts outside the Old City walls, where Hebrew-speaking businesses and residences were concentrated. The material served as illustrative footage for newsreel reports on the political situation in British Mandate Palestine.
