FELM Center Jerusalem, Finnish mission administrative center in Jerusalem, Israel
The FELM Center in Jerusalem is an administrative building that serves as headquarters for Finnish humanitarian operations and project coordination. It focuses on social development initiatives across Jerusalem and neighboring areas to support diverse communities.
The center was established in 1950 and has remained on Shivtei Yisrael Street since its founding. A significant architectural expansion took place in 1955 under architect Epstein's design.
The center functioned as a boarding school between 1956 and 1967, educating around 50 students from different backgrounds and hosting the future Israeli singer Riki Gal. This chapter remains important to the site's identity as a place of learning and cultural exchange in the city.
The center is accessible during business hours and provides insight into Finnish-Israeli humanitarian cooperation efforts. It is helpful to contact ahead to confirm staff availability for a visit.
The building is named 'Shelevatia,' a reference to the Song of Songs that bridges Finnish and Middle Eastern cultural traditions. This name reflects the center's role in connecting different cultures and regions.
