Gane Tikwa (Hebrew: גַּנֵּי תִּקְוָה for Gardens of Hope , Arabic: غني تيكفا, English: Ganey Tikva) is one of 141 municipal administrations in the central district of Israel.

Location and surroundings

It borders in the west on Kirjat Ono , in the north on Petach Tikwa , a suburb of Tel-Aviv and in the south on Savjon .

history

Gane Tikwa was founded in 1949 on the land of the Palestinian village of Al-Abbasija (Arabic: العبْاسِيّة), which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The first historical records about the village of Al-Abbasijja come from the year 1596. At that time the village was called Al-Jahudija (Arabic اليهودية for: "Place of the Jews"). The name of the biblical city Jehud , which is mentioned in the book of Joshua ( Jos 19.45  EU ), may live on in it. It was probably destroyed during the Jewish-Roman War (66–73). Al-Jahudija in 1932 in honor of Sheikh al-Abbas al-Abbasija changed.

The oldest part of the municipality is the Schikkun haJovel district (Hebrew: שִׁיכּוּן הַיּוֹבֵל for anniversary district ). The quarter was built in 1949 by the "Jubilee of Bne-Binjamin" organization, which was founded in 1928 to mark the 50th anniversary of Petach Tikwa. The inhabitants consisted of about a thousand families from Libya, Romania, Poland, Yemen and Morocco. Initially, the district was administratively part of the neighboring city of Petach Tikwa.

Kirjat Jismach Mosche (Hebrew: קִרְיַית יִשְׂמַח מֹשֶׁה) is a Hasidic district in the west of the city, which was built in 1962 on the initiative of the Sassov Hasidim for immigrants from the USA. The quarter was named after the book by Moshe Teitelbaum . This neighborhood is closed to traffic on the Sabbath .

In the Nof Savjon district, built in 1972 , you can find high-quality apartment buildings. A similar neighborhood was built with Giv'at Savjon HaChadascha in the east on the border with Gat Rimmon .
