Kerem Ha Teimanim

Kerem Ha Teimanim

Kerem HaTeimanim (Hebrew: כרם התימנים) is a neighbourhood in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel. Its English translation is literally 'Vineyard of the Yemenites'. Its population is estimated at around 80,000, the majority of whom being Yemenite Jews. It is believed to have the largest Yemenite Jewish population in the world. It is adjacent to the Carmel Market and Allenby Street, and is close to Geula Beach. Unlike other Tel Avivian neighbourhoods, it is quite observant, owing mainly to the high observance rate of the Yemenite pioneers who built the neighbourhood. The majority of the descendants of those pioneers still inhabit the neighbourhood today.
