Exactly one hundred years ago this week, on 07/01/1922, the lot lottery was held in the Neve Shanan neighborhood, which means that you can say that... the neighborhood has a birthday! century!
I write a lot about places in the city of Haifa, but Neve Shanan has been my home for a decade and since my children were born, the connection has deepened. Here I know every street and alley, watch the pedestrian traffic and enjoy it as much as possible, praise and praise the neighborhood trade that allows me to shop and hang out within walking distance, watch with pleasure the mature trees and simply enjoy the urbanity that is here and there is great urbanity here!
How much I love to watch on the balcony on a Saturday morning a passing bus, people on their way to a movie and a restaurant while at the same time religious and ultra-Orthodox families go to the synagogue or to see crowds going to perform tishlik on Rosh Hashanah while cyclists enjoy the quiet streets on the holiday, all these constitute what is good here, the fact that everyone can live with everyone and in peace. The Israeli sanity that should be a model for everywhere else.
I wish for my neighborhood to know how to maintain this diversity and continue to be a home for everyone. That it will know how to successfully overcome the challenges of urban renewal that are expected in the coming years, and they will hit it by storm like in any other old neighborhood. May you preserve its mature trees and the few historical buildings left in it. That you know how to strengthen and develop the public spaces it has that yearn for renewal. That you finally get a bike path network, because someone like her needs one. May it remain popular, in the best part of the word, neither a neighborhood of luxury nor a neighborhood of poverty and that there will be people like you and me.
Congratulations to our beloved neighborhood and thank you Kaufman (neighborhood planning architect) for the successful planning basis.
Not related to life and I've been here for 20 years, there has never been a mess, not one ultra-Orthodox son, to the secular ones, always quiet and good, Michy Alper, he represents Tetzmo, not to generalize
Thank you for the article, a bit exaggerated, but regarding the mature trees I would like to thank you for your consideration, we must definitely act vigorously to preserve the ancient trees that adorn the neighborhood... act to increase the public areas not for the sake of more businesses but for the public benefit and ornament only!!! yes to maintain the calm appearance and to close streets to bicycles on certain days.
Dear Omri,
Note that challenges are expected and unexpected, and therefore both for them and for them.
Bless you that you write Neve Shaanan and not Neve Shaanan (just like Shaveh, Reva, TV....) and not as it appears on all the municipality's road signs, and the same goes for the Neve Yosef, Neve David and Neve Paz neighborhoods.
We will see you in your business, to convince the mayor of this municipality to correct this long-standing error, including in the inscription in the municipality's documents.
To the troublemaker, how did they write Noah in the Bible with one or two V.
Enough of the hassles of adding unnecessary ahoi in every word
TV set. Noah hope. peace.
and give rest.
I don't know what brand of glasses you wear but for sure the lenses are too pink.
You may be telling yourself about peace and living in peace between the sectors. If it depends on the ultra-religious takeover, you won't see buses passing through it on Shabbat in the future. They already tried to cancel it.. they just haven't reached the necessary majority in the neighborhood yet. In the future they will also demand to close streets.
2 illegal synagogues built in containers intended to be used by contractors for the construction of buildings and marketing. 2 shelters intended for social activity have become de facto meetings. The synagogue was taken over by an ultra-orthodox association connected to Alfer. The attempt to turn a residential building into a yeshiva with dozens of stalls. Dear Omri, I don't understand what kind of peace, reconciliation and diversity you are talking about. The goal of the ultra-orthodox is to throw away the variety called "secular" and even if they can also "religious". Everything is separate. Schools, groceries, transportation... and when state institutions and schools like Bahadar are closed, they will take over the buildings one after the other. A great future.
Precise!
And how can one ignore the deafening Hasidic music that emanates on Shabbat and holiday evenings from the roof of a residential building on HaGilil Street (which has been converted into a Beit Midrash) in order to warn of the time of Shabbat?!
If this is not a violation of the status quo then what is?
