Evelina Rothschild School for Girls, Jerusalem

Evelina de Rothschild (1839 - 1866) was the daughter of Baron Lionel de Rothschild (1808-1879), the first Jew to sit in the British House of Commons. Following her early death, her father Lionel assumed sponsorship of the first school for girls in Palestine, which opened in Jerusalem in 1854, and renamed it the Evelina de Rothschild School

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Evelina de Rothschild School for Girls in Jerusalem, a historic institution that opened its doors in 1854. The school was named in honor of Evelina de Rothschild (1839-1866), the beloved daughter of Baron Lionel de Rothschild (1808-1879), who was the first Jewish member of the British House of Commons. Evelina's untimely death at the young age of 27 deeply affected her father, who assumed the role of sponsor for the first girls' school in Palestine as a tribute to his daughter's memory. The panoramic view showcases the picturesque stone building, nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant landscape of Jerusalem. The school's serene atmosphere is a testament to the importance of education and the enduring legacy of Evelina and her father. The girls in their traditional attire can be seen engaged in various activities, including studying, playing, and socializing, reflecting the well-rounded curriculum that the school offered. The establishment of the Evelina de Rothschild School for Girls marked a significant milestone in the history of Jewish education in Jerusalem and Israel. It paved the way for future educational institutions and served as a beacon of hope and progress for young girls in the region. Today, the school continues to uphold its rich heritage and commitment to providing quality education to the next generation of Jewish women.
