History and heritage
Its historical story is also significant: in 1887, it was the first Jewish neighborhood established outside the walls of the ancient port of Jaffa, preceding the establishment of Tel Aviv by more than two decades. Its historical story is also significant: a group of 48 Jewish families led by Shimon Rokach, a Jerusalemite pioneer of agriculture, and Aharon Chelouche, a landowner and businessman from Jaffa settled in the area in 1883. Its historical story is also significant: at the beginning of the 20th century, Neve Tzedek was the cultural center of the developing Tel Aviv, where many prominent representatives of the Jewish creative intelligentsia lived and worked, including the future Nobel laureate Shmuel Yosef Agnon and the artist Nachum Gutman, who described life in Neve Tzedek in their autobiographical works.
