rdf:langString Shmuel HaNavi Street

rdf:langString Shmuel HaNavi Street (Hebrew: רחוב שמואל הנביא, lit. Samuel the Prophet Street) is a main road in north-central Jerusalem. It starts at the intersection of St. George and near Highway 60, and merges into Golda Meir Boulevard (Route 436) just past the intersection of Bar-Ilan and Hativat Harel Streets. The continuation of the street winds up to the tomb of Samuel the prophet, after whom the street is named. Shmuel HaNavi Street borders the Beit Yisrael, Bukharim, Arzei HaBira, Shmuel HaNavi, Sanhedria and neighborhoods. With a largely Haredi population, the street houses major synagogues for two Hasidic dynasties and many Haredi schools, yeshivas, and girls' seminaries.
