Hatikva Quarter

Hatikva Quarter

The Hatikva Quarter (Hebrew: שכונת התקווה‎, Shkhunat Hatikva) is a neighbourhood in south-eastern Tel Aviv, Israel, long known as a working class area. It was founded in 1930 and was merged into Tel Aviv following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

The neighbourhood is home to the Bnei Yehuda football club, which played at the Hatikva Neighborhood Stadium until they moved to the larger Bloomfield Stadium, as well as the headquarters of the Israeli Labor Party.[1] It is also the birthplace and origin of Ofra Haza, one of Israel's most famous singers, who drew inspiration from her childhood in the rough and down-trodden neighborhood.

Hatikva was named after "Mount Hope" ("Har Tikva" in Hebrew), a farm built in 1855 by Protestant Prussian and American immigrants. Almira Steinbeck, who left the farm with her family, was grandmother to John Steinbeck. Shevah Mofet school in Tel Aviv stands where the farm house once stood.[2]
