Neve Ya'akov

Neve Ya'akov is on the northeastern tip of Jerusalem, near Pisgat Zeev.
It is one of the most diverse areas of the city, combining an ultra-Orthodox population with secular Israelis, as well as Ethiopian and Russian immigrants.
Kiryat Kaminetz, on the eastern side of the neighborhood, is also known as Neve Ya'akov Mizrach (Neve Yaakov East). It has a high concentration of Hasidic and Sephardic Haredi families, with a variety of schools and synagogues serving each population. Neve Ya'akov Mizrach is also home to two yeshivot catering to American students: Yeshivas Bais Yisroel and Yeshivas Lev Aryeh.

The Haredi character of the neighborhood has expanded further since 2004 with an influx of young couples, both Israeli-born and Anglo immigrants, to the older sections of Neve Ya'akov.
