Neve Tzedek

 

 

 

 

 

 


Neve Tzedek (Abode of Justice) is a quarter located in the southwestern part of the city. At the beginning of the 20th century, Neve Tzedek was the home of many artists and writers.
Since the 1980s it has become a stylish residence with restaurants, galleries and designer shops. The architecture of the neighborhood is definitely one of the highlights in the area; beautiful old houses restored to grandeur by modern architects and designers. The Suzzane Dellal Center, Tel Aviv’s official dance center and home of the famous Bat-Sheva dance group are located in this quarter. Besides offering excellent dance and theatre performances, there is a beautiful piazza and small gardens around the building. The neighborhood includes little shops, especially on Shabazi Street. You can find designer shops, children’s clothes, art, pottery, jewelry, and many more boutiques. You can also get a bite to eat in the many cafes and restaurants in the area.

Neve Tzedek Community Center
In 1888 the “House of Hospitality” for the community of Neve Tzedek was established. In 1948 ‎after the annexation of Neve Tzedek with Tel Aviv it became the Neve Tzedek Community ‎Center. At the beginning of the sixties, it was closed and was invaded by squatter families and ‎homeless people. In 1977, a decision was made for the Neve Tzedek neighborhood to become ‎a preserved site, to restore and adjust the historical building for its purpose as a community ‎center. The project was completed by Kimmel-Eshkolot architects in 1991.‎ Drop by the community center’s beautiful courtyard (9 Neve Shalom St). The center’s ‎employees and volunteers would be more than happy to tell you about the neighborhood and ‎provide some tourist tips.‎

Yemenite Quarter

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Yemenite Quarter (Kerem Ha-Teimanim) is a neighborhood in the center of Tel-Aviv, west of the adjacent Carmel Market. It was officially established in 1904, as an early neighborhood in the growing pioneer city of Tel Aviv, by recent immigrant Yemenite Jews. The neighborhood architecture was based on the designs of the former Jewish ghettos in Yemen with colonial British and ancient Hebrew features. Today, the neighborhood is a popular middle-class suburb, with many new residents, both secular and religious, mainly due to its location in central Tel Aviv and the city’s beaches. The neighborhood borders with the Carmel market and offers an abundance of kosher restaurants, small humus eateries, and many trendy cafes that have become the place to see and be seen for young Tel Avivians.
