Hatikva Quarter, Working class neighborhood in southeastern Tel Aviv, Israel
Hatikva Quarter is a working class neighborhood in southeastern Tel Aviv with residential buildings, small shops, and the large open-air Hatikva Market. The market sells fresh produce, spices, and clothing from local vendors.
The quarter was founded in 1935 and named after a farm established in 1853 that was later settled by Yemenite Jewish families. The area developed into a center for this community and their descendants.
The neighborhood has long been home to artists and musicians who started their careers here and shaped local culture. It remains a symbol of artistic roots for many people who grew up in these streets.
The neighborhood connects to central Tel Aviv through multiple bus lines, and the nearby Tel Aviv HaHagana railway station provides access to the Coastal Railway Line. The market is most active at certain times of day, and the area maintains an authentic, local character.
During the 1991 Gulf War, a Scud missile hit a shelter in front of Beit Dani, but a faulty lock prevented residents from entering. This act of chance saved many lives during a critical moment in the neighborhood's history.
