Blair G. Van Dyke interviews David B. Galbraith about his experiences as the first director of the Jerusalem Center. Galbraith details the process of obtaining land in the area of Jerusalem, and the zoning and building process of the Center. He also discusses the opposition to the Center among many Israeli government officials. The interview ends with memories of moving into the Center, and of General Authorities arriving in Jerusalem to sign a long-term lease on the land.
