&sq=&lang=&file=File:Mahane_Yehuda_neighborhood,_Jerusalem2.jpg)
Mahane Yehuda (Hebrew: מחנה יהודה, "Camp of Judah") is a historic neighborhood in Jerusalem. Established on the north side of Jaffa Road in 1887,[1][2] it was planned and managed by the consortium of Swiss-Christian banker Johannes Frutiger and his Jewish partners, Joseph Navon and Shalom Konstrum. By the end of the 19th century, it encompassed 162 homes. Originally occupied by upper middle-class residents, it became a working-class neighborhood beginning in the late 1920s. Today the neighborhood is part of Nachlaot.[3] The Mahane Yehuda Market ("the shuk") located across the street was named after the neighborhood.[4]
