Kirya Ne'emana

Kirya Ne'emana (Hebrew: קִרְיָה נֶאֱמָנָה‎, "Faithful City"), commonly known as Batei Nissan Bak (Hebrew: בתי ניסן בק‎‎, "Nissan Beck Houses") was a historical Hasidic Jewish neighborhood established opposite Damascus Gate in the New City of Jerusalem in 1875. In the 1880s and 1890s it was joined by additional housing for Syrian, Iraqi, Persian, Georgian, and Caucasian Jews. Most of the residents fled the area during the 1929 Palestine riots and their houses were taken over by Christians and Muslims. In the 2000s a handful of Jewish families reclaimed houses in the neighborhood.

The name Kirya Ne'emana comes from Isaiah 1:26:

Kirya Ne'emana was located opposite Damascus Gate along the road to Damascus. The British Mandatory government renamed this road Street of the Prophets in the early 1920s.

Kirya Ne'emana was one of the first nine Jewish neighborhoods to be established outside the Walls of Jerusalem, and one of the six Jewish neighborhoods to be founded in the 1870s. It was established in 1875, the same year as the Beit Ya'akov neighborhood on Jaffa Road. The land was purchased by Nissan Beck, leader of the Hasidic community in Jerusalem, and Rabbi Shmuel Mordechai Warshavsky, under the auspices of Kollel Volhin. The developers wished to honor philanthropist Moses Montefiore and his wife Judith by calling the neighborhood Ohalei Moshe VeYehudit (Tent of Moses and Judith) and its main street, Montefiore Street. For a while, the neighborhood was called Ir Tzedek (Hebrew: עיר צדק‎‎, "City of Righteousness", also from the verse in Isaiah 1:26). However, all these names fell out of use and the neighborhood was popularly known as Batei Nissan Bak ("Nissan Beck Houses").
