Baka Situated between the German Colony and Talpiot, in southern Jerusalem, the Baka/Geulim neighborhood is a ten minute bus ride from downtown Jerusalem, but is home to a host of shops and services; on Derech Bethlehem the main shopping street, there are greengrocers, grocery stores, dry cleaners, hairdressers, clothing stores, three take out shops and a bagel store that does dairy catering for large and small events.
Whatever is unavailable in Baka itself can be found on nearby Emek Refaim or in the Talpiot Industrial Zone, five minutes away by car. Everything about Baka speaks of diversity. The population ranges from ultra orthodox to the completely secular and displays all shades of the political spectrum. Public housing (for the past 20 years, Baka has been undergoing a gentrification process) exists near beautiful private houses with impressive gardens. There are also two- and three-family houses as well as apartments, with rarely any buildings above four floors. Besides schools of all sorts there are a multitude of synagogues for every taste as well as a mikveh.
