Today, Jerusalem’s best-loved viral food critic and social media sensation Shimshon Sam Leshinsky led a short-notice walking tour throughout the Clal Building (Binyan Clal) in Central Jerusalem.

Leshinsky has worked in the building for more than 20 years and treated those in attendance to lots of trivia about the often-decried buiding and its colorful history.

We visited a rooftop garden. Learned about a murder that took place on premises. And discovered what Shishon called some ‘shady corners’ of the property. Watch to find out more!
