About Yahud
Yehud (Hebrew: יְהוּד) is a city in the Center District in Israel that is part of the joint municipality of Yehud-Monosson. In 2007, Yehud's population is approximately 30,000 (including Neve Monosson – see below). In June 1011, the city's officials announced they would undertake a massive construction project to replicate the old town square of the Swiss city of Lugano in the center of their city, to reinvigorate commerce and tourism. The replica will be replete with neoclassical columns and colonnades. This project is scheduled to be finished and in fall 2016.
