Nachlaot (Hebrew: נחלאות, also Naḥlaʾoth) is a cluster of 23 courtyard neighborhoods in central Jerusalem surrounding the Mahane Yehuda Market. It is known for its narrow, winding lanes, old-style housing, hidden courtyards, and many small synagogues.
Nachlaot is one of Jerusalem’s most interesting areas. A cluster of neighborhoods in the center of the city, Nachlaot is characterized by its narrow, windy lanes, quaint, stone houses, and pretty, hidden-away courtyards, and was originally built in the 1870s by Jews looking to escape the increasingly crowded and noisy Old City. In recent years, Nachlaot has grown to become one of Jerusalem’s most popular neighborhoods having been hugely gentrified over the past thirty or so years, and taking an hour or two to stroll through the streets, you can understand why.
ABOUT NACHLAOT
Nachlaot was once an intensely religious place, said at one time to have the highest concentration of synagogues in the world (with 300 in the radius of a few blocks) which served both the Ashkenazi (European) Jews and those from the Ottoman lands who originally founded the community.
Over time, Nachlaot became densely populated and eventually, relatively run down. As older residents moved out and the government provided grants to improve the neighborhood, into the area moved artists and musicians, as well as a large number of young religious Jews from the USA. The result is a relaxed haven of creativity with a religious twist. Of the 300 synagogues that were once here, now, only 100 or so remain, and hippie-esque and deeply traditional religious societies juxtapose each other, peacefully coexisting. Today, you will still see many of the original stone houses which are often dedicated to their first owners with plaques containing pictures and a brief history.
EXPLORING NACHLAOT
On a map, you might find only the individual neighborhoods that make up Nachlaot: Mishkenot Yisrael, Ohel Moshe, Mazkeret Moshe, Zichron Yosef, Sukkat Shalom, Zichron Yaakov, Shevet Ahim and Nahalat Ahim. These, in reality, fuse into one another seamlessly, and if you decide to take a stroll through the narrow, quiet streets (as is the best way to experience the area), you will have an immensely memorable experience taking in the architecture, the people, the smells and sounds, and the contrasts.
At festival times, especially Sukkot and Hanukkah, Nachlaot is an even more fascinating place to walk, with ornaments decorating the streets – lulav, etrog, and sukkahs at Sukkot, and Menorahs lighting up the windows of the homes at Hanukkah.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered licensed tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this "calling" in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
