History of Neve Tzedek

Neve Tzedek was the first Jewish settlement organization outside Jaffa established back in 1887, many years before the city of Tel Aviv existed. The region itself was sought out to be a peaceful residential neighbourhood away from the crowds of Jaffa, and with that came the creation of pastel coloured low-rise buildings across its narrow laneways. In the early 1900s Neve Tzedek became a residing place for renowned writers, artists and architects, some of which have now set up their own businesses here at private galleries, cafes and shops.
