Rehavia or Rechavia (Hebrew: רחביה, Arabic: رحافيا) is an upscale Jerusalem neighborhood located between the city center and Talbiya. Since its establishment in the 1920s, the area has always been associated with German-Jewish culture and tradition. The quarter remained an island of German culture and language long after the establishment of the State of Israel and up to this day through the Schocken library (by late German-Jewish editor Salman Schocken), the largest and most significant collection of German books in the country, is to be found in the neighborhood.
