Azor, human settlement in Israel
Azor is a local council in the Tel Aviv District covering roughly 600 acres with about 2,400 residents. The area consists of simple homes and low-rise apartment buildings with light colors spread across quiet streets, featuring small gardens and parks throughout.
Azor was established in 1948 shortly after Israel's founding to provide homes for new residents in the country. It has since developed into a stable small community that has kept its quiet character even as Israel grew and changed around it.
Azor is a Hebrew-speaking community where families and neighbors live closely together. You see signs of everyday life everywhere: children playing outside their homes, people chatting on balconies, and local shops serving as gathering spots for daily interaction.
Azor is easily accessible by car or local buses with direct access to Tel Aviv. While there are no large shopping malls in the area, small shops for essentials are within walking distance, making for a relaxed visit.
Despite its small size, Azor is a rare place where you can see everyday Israel while many visitors focus on bigger cities. This overlooked spot shows how small communities were built after the country's founding and today maintain a stable, grounded way of life.
