Our Address

Almost every residential building in Jerusalem has a sign posted on it identifying the address. Unlike in the States, where people must provide their own address signs and there are countless types and styles, here the municipality provides them and they are all the same: white plastic with black characters. One very helpful feature for nighttime visits to friends' homes, or for people like me who can at times get confused about directions because they don't know where to find everything just yet, is the fact that these signs have lights inside and are illuminated after dark.

This is the address sign for our building. You would read it like this: radak, mispar echad...Radak Street, number one.
