The Fuchsberg Jerusalem Center (FJC) is located in the heart of Jerusalem just five minutes on foot from all of the city center’s shops, restaurants, and cultural institutions and a 15 minute walk to the Old City.
Though it was founded in 1972, the history of some of its primary buildings date back much further. These include Rappaport House which houses the Epstein, Geller, David CY Beit Midrash, the Alan J. Tichnor Residence Hall & Learning Center, the Rabbi Jerome M. Epstein House, and the historic David and Goldie Zucker Synagogue .
