Jerusalem Real Estate & The Secret to Finding a Home in Israel

Have you ever walked through the ancient, winding stone alleys of the Old City and wondered… who actually lives here? And more importantly, how do they get their groceries up all those stairs?! 🛒🏼

This week on Jamie in the Rova, I am walking the streets with a woman who doesn’t just sell houses—she matches souls to their dream homes. Meet the incredible Kim Bash. Originally from South Africa, Kim has called the Jewish Quarter home for 22 years, and she has made it her life’s mission to help Jews from all over the world find their place in our beautiful land.

Watch our walk through the Old City with Kim Bash right here!

More Than Just Four Walls

Kim and I dove into the “nitty-gritty” of the Israeli property market, but we also talked about the heart of what it means to make Aliyah. If you’ve ever dreamt of moving here or investing in Israel, you need to hear her perspective.

We covered:

• The 16-Year Streak: Why Israel’s real estate market has consistently stayed strong (and even gone up!) for nearly two decades.
• The “Hot List”: Which Anglo neighborhoods are the absolute best places to look right now if you want community and connection.
• Old City Logistics: We finally answer the #1 question everyone asks: “Kim, how do you manage day-to-day life inside these ancient walls?”
• A Full-Circle Proposal: Kim shared the beautiful story of how she was proposed to at the Aish World Center before the building was even finished!

A Blessing from the Roof

We ended our walk, as we always do, on the breathtaking rooftop of the Dan Family Aish World Center. Looking out over the Kotel, Kim shared a blessing for anyone currently in the “waiting room” of their lives—those who are dreaming of Israel but aren’t quite here yet.

It reminded me that a house is just stone and mortar, but a home is where your community is. Kim’s integrity and passion for her clients (who almost always become her lifelong friends) is exactly the kind of energy we need in the world today.

Whether you’re ready to pack your bags or just want a “virtual” tour of Jerusalem, join us for this walk:

Is Israel Calling You?

I know so many of you have that “inner spark” pulling you toward Jerusalem. Kim is proof that when you follow that calling, everything else—even the groceries—falls into place.

I’d love to hear from you in the comments: If you could live anywhere in Israel, which city or neighborhood feels like “home” to you? 🇮🇱✨
