- Ramat Begin
Ramat Begin is a neighborhood in the city of
Haifa ,Israel , named afterMenachem Begin .Ramat Begin is located south to
Ahuza neighborhood, on the western part ofMount Carmel, Israel .Its main streets are Watson St., Ider St. and Soroka St.
Public institutions located there include Nofim Elementary School, the Maimonides Study Center and the Ohel Bracha Synagogue. Also, it has a convenience store (known in Hebrew as a 'macolet') named 'Marcol Zol Hamo' or 'Super Hamazleg'.
At the southwest corner of the neighborhood, one finds a footpath leading up to a hill known to at least two generations of locals asGivat haAzim (Goat's Hill), and then downhill through a wadi, ending up at the Mediterranean coast just south of Haifa. Strolling through Givat haAzim is a favorite pastime of residents on shabbat, especiallyin the fall and spring. Unfortunately, developers are threatening to build there.
Due to its location on the western slope of
Carmel Ridge , Ramat Begin enjoys a constant breeze of fresh air, and a wide view westward to theMediterranean Sea .External links
