#Did you know? The hotel building was built in the 1920’s, and in 1926 it was leased to operate a hotel called the Tel Aviv Hotel. Menahem Begin spoke on the balcony of the hotel on August 3, 1948 when he announced the dissolution of the Etzel (the Zionist paramilitary organization) and the joining of his fighters to the IDF. In 1958, the hotel’s name was changed to the Ron Hotel, and in the previous decade, after renovations and expansions, it was changed again, this time to the Menorah Hotel. Finally, its name was changed to the Jerusalem Hostel.
