Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox building The Alhambra Cinema is a 1937 Art Deco style building on Jerusalem Boulevard in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, Israel, designed by Lebanese architect Elias Al-Mor, and original built as a cinema. It was named after the Alhambra palace in Spain.
Throughout its history it has been active as an Arab cultural institution (in Mandatory Palestine), again as a cinema after the establishment of Israel, and as a theatre after 1963. In 2010 it was purchased and renovated by the Church of Scientology, and in 2012 was opened as the Ideal Center of Scientology for the Middle East.[1]
History
The building was opened in May 1937 and was one of the biggest and luxurious cinemas in Palestine.Шаблон:Cn It became a cultural centre and hosted famous Arab artists such as Umm Kulthum, Farid al-Atrash and Leila Mourad.[2] Local residents, both local Arabs and Jews originating from Arab countries, came to the shows together with their families.[2]
The cinema was owned and managed by Palestinian Arabs, among them Isa al-Safri, Muhammad Abduh Hilmi, Muhammad Musa al-Husayni, Muhammad Younis al-Husayni, Muhammad Ramadan Hammu, Hasan Arafeh, Abdul-Rahman Alhaj Ibrahim, and Mughnnam Mughnnam.[3] Photos from 1937, during the Arab revolt in Palestine, show an Arab flag studded with light bulbs fitted as a permanent fixture at the top of the building's turret.
After the 1948 war it became Israeli property and reopened under the name "Yafor".[1] In 1963 it was taken over by the impresario Giora Godik who turned it into an independent theatre,[1] again under the name "Alhambra". In the late 1970s the building was largely abandoned.Шаблон:Cn Until 2007 a bank used the main entrance, which faces the boulevard, as a branch.[1]
Starting in 2010 the building, affected by decades of transformations, underwent restoration and refurbishment, and in 2012 it was inaugurated as an Israeli and regional centre for Scientology.[1][4]
