This morning was a really beautiful day. The sun was strong but the breeze was cool. After my Hebrew lesson, I took a walk to the neighborhood of Neve Tzedek. According to my map -- this area was the first Jewish neighborhood built outside of Jaffa, in 1887. It was the center of Jewish culture and society in the Land of Israel (before statehood) and was the home to many writers, leaders and rabbis. Nachum Gutman (see the post below) lived in this area. His home, too, has been converted into a museum. I will return to go inside.
This neighborhood has so many beautiful homes, little streets and now -- cute shops. It has been repopulated with artists and writers - and kids just looking to have fun!
