Neve Sha'anan, Jerusalem
Neve Sha'anan ({{langx|he|נווה שאנן}}, lit. Tranquil Oasis) is a small neighborhood in central Jerusalem. It is located between the Israel Museum and the Givat Ram campus of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, bordering Nayot.
History
The first three homes were built in 1929 by the Neve Sha'anan society. The name of the neighborhood was based on Isaiah 33:20. The planning principles were similar to those employed by Ricard Kaufmann, who designed the garden suburbs of Jerusalem during the British Mandate.[https://books.google.com/books?id=KzOAxmHDzHUC&pg=PA172 Ruth Kark, Neighborhoods of Jerusalem]
Two apartment buildings at the end of Neve Sha'anan Street were built to house professors of the Hebrew University.
In 1948, there is a concentration camp for civilians from Palestine villages and towns in Neve Sha’anan, in the place of Israel Museum.Shai Gortler, Umar al-Ghubari, Remembering of the Prisonners of War Camps, Zochrot, 2024, {{p.}}9.
