Kerem HaTeimanim () is a neighbourhood in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel. The neighborhood is adjacent to the Carmel Market.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕 The name means Yemenite Vineyard, and the area is also known as the Yemenite Quarter. ==History== Kerem HaTeimanim was officially established in 1904 by Yemenite Jewish immigrants. It was a poor neighborhood, with many of the single-story homes built with cheap materials such as wooden beams and tin roofing. In 1926, the WIZO women's volunteer organization opened an infant welfare center in the neighborhood operated by two nurses sent to England to study healthcare for young mothers and babies.〔(Jewish Women in Pre-State Israel: Life History, Politics, and Culture, ed. Ruth Kark, Margalit Shilo, Galit Hasan-Rokem )〕 In the early 1970s, Lehakat Tzlilei Kerem HaTeimanim (Sounds of the Vineyard Band) was formed by Kerem HaTeimanim guitarist Moshe ben Mush and singer Yosef "Daklon" Levi,〔(Altalena, oil lamps and Elvis, too, Haaretz )〕 a band that achieved fame in south Tel Aviv and beyond.〔(Popular Music and National Culture in Israel, Motti Regev, Edwin Seroussi )〕 Today, Kerem HaTeimanim is in the process of gentrification. Many of the original residents have been replaced by French and other foreign residents who purchased property there for investment. The neighborhood is still home to traditional Yemenite restaurants.〔(The lost tribes: How gentrification decimated Israel's original ethnic communities and neighborhoods, Haaretz )〕 In 2004, Lev HaIr Tower became the neighborhood's tallest building. The tower holds a public library, offices and several commercial businesses. It is a predominately religious neighborhood where eateries are closed on the Sabbath.〔(Kerem Hateimanim, Haaretz )〕 Zohar Argov, an 1980s Yemenite Israeli singer who grew up in Rishon LeZion made an album entitled ''Bekerem Hateymanim'' 〔(Zohar Argov, BeKerem HaTeymanim )〕 in celebration of the neighborhood's significance for Yemenite Israeli culture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerem HaTeimanim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
