But 40 meters is pretty far, and the point *might* be on the other side of the fence I see in the distance there. If I go around to Kovshei Hachermon street, and into the parking lot of the apartment buildings, I might have a chance.

I started by heading east, and could find no easy way through. So I headed back west, hoping to find a passage into a park that is between the two streets.

Location

In between some buildings in Rehovot. Some are apartment buildings, some are houses, one is a synagogue. May be in the parking lot of the apartments.

Participants

Yerushalmi (talk)

Plans

I originally had no intention of attempting the point (I wasn't feeling well), but that evening my wife had a gallery opening in Tel Aviv. Since we took the car there, I realized I could stop at the point on the way back home.

Expedition

This may have been the most frustrating building layout I've seen in my life.

The point is between two streets: Harav Meshulam on the north side and Kovshei Hachermon on the south side. We had difficulty finding parking but eventually stopped on Harav Meshulam, a bit west of the synagogue. My wife was tired and stayed in the car, so I walked east on Harav Meshulam until I was parallel the point: 20240201 222226.jpg

The building on the right is the synagogue; the building on the left is a private home. Gehoash Droid said I was 40 meters away, which is way too far to wander past someone's front door and around the side of their house at 10:00 at night - even if the garden might belong to the shul and not to them.

But 40 meters is pretty far, and the point *might* be on the other side of the fence I see in the distance there. If I go around to Kovshei Hachermon street, and into the parking lot of the apartment buildings, I might have a chance.

I started by heading east, and could find no easy way through. So I headed back west, hoping to find a passage into a park that is between the two streets. There was no such passage; the entire north boundary of the park had a high fence blocking entry. I had to go all the way to the end of Harav Meshulam, where the "official" entrance to the park was.

I then headed east in the park, hoping to go straight into the parking lots of the apartment buildings. But that part of the park was also fenced off, so I had to go back west to the "official" exit of the park. WHO THE HELL BUILT THIS PLACE?

Finally, I entered each apartment parking lot one by one (they all had high walls and fences between them, with not even the slightest walkway for pedestrians, as if they're afraid they're going to invade each other, so this was a lot of going back and forth to the street) until I found the one that might have included the point... if this wall was just five meters farther.

The worst part is that there was actually a small passage down into that garden from one of the parking lots (though for some insane reason not the one pictured above!), but it had a sign that said "no passage".

I went back to the car and drove back home.
