History of Rehavia

Aza Road and Keren Kayemet Street run through Rehavia, a garden suburb established in the 1920's and 1930's. Aza Road's name is derived from the city of Gaza (Aza in Hebrew, sometimes spelled 'Azza'), since the route used to serve as the main road from Jerusalem to the Southern Coastal Plain. Keren Kayemet Street is named after the the Jewish National Fund, one of the most important institutions of the Zionist movement.

After World War I, the Greek patriarchate in Jerusalem needed large sums of money to pay its debts and offered to sell pieces of land from its vast complex of holdings.

The land purchased by the Jews included the locations of Rehavia, Ben Yehuda Street, the Mamila Commercial centre and Ramat Rachel.

Rehavia, first called "Gingeria," founded in 1924, was designed as a luxury neighborhood for white-collar workers and professional people. Within several years, the neighborhood had over 2,000 residents including immigrants from Germany, Britain and the United States.

Because of the rising cost of land and the expensive requirement that all buildings be built with Jerusalem stone, the regulations for stone construction were relaxed in the 1930's and 1940's and some buildings were constructed of concrete.

Today, Rehavia stretches from the Nahlaot and Sha'arey Hessed neighbourhoods on the north, Talbiyeh and Katamon on the south and Keren Hayesod and King George Streets on the east.

There are many Zionist and cultural institutions in Rehavia, including the Jewish Agency and the JNF (Keren Kayemet) centres, as well as the Yad Ben Zvi Institute.

Testimonials

The apartment was situated in an excellent location within walking distance to the Old City and the new town and shops. Travelling on my own I felt very safe and peaceful. The landlords were very friendly, kind and accommodating and were intent on providing a complete service. The apartment had everything you would need away from home, was very clean and comfortable. I feel that it was very good value for money. I would certainly recommend this property without hesitation : )

Dear Micky and Ehud,

I thoroughly enjoyed my three-week stay in your beautifully decorated studio apartment at 41 Aza. You were superb hosts, providing all the comforts of home (with lots of extra touches), and always available to answer questions and to help in other ways.

I knew before I arrived that I'd be staying in a wonderful location, convenient to buses, taxis, shops, restaurants, and a variety of shuls. I was very pleasantly surprised and happy to find, once I arrived, that my apartment also was very private and quiet! Sitting on my balcony in the midst of your lovely potted plants, I truly experienced the "vacation" aspect of my "working vacation" in Jerusalem. I am very much looking forward to staying with you on my next trip to Israel, and hope that you will have an apartment available for me...
