Rokach House

Rokach House is a two-story stone building with traditional architectural features from the late 1800s, used as a museum with multiple galleries and a garden. The building itself displays its original structure and interior arrangement from the time it was built.

The house was built in 1887 as one of the first structures outside Jaffa, marking the beginning of the town's expansion into the surrounding area. It was converted into a museum in 1984 to document and share the neighborhood's development with the public.

The museum reveals how residents of Neve Tzedek lived and worked through photographs and everyday objects from the late 1800s. Visitors encounter personal items and artworks that show the connection between the family and the neighborhood.

The museum sits in the heart of Neve Tzedek and is easily reached on foot while exploring the neighborhood's historic streets. Visitors should allow time to move through the rooms and outdoor area, especially if rotating exhibitions are on display.

The house contains original furniture and household items from the 1800s that show how a prosperous family lived at that time. A special collection features sculptures by Shimon Rokach's granddaughter, continuing the family's artistic legacy.
