Neve Daniel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neve Daniel (Hebrew: נווה דניאל) is an Israeli settlement located in western Gush Etzion in Judea/the West Bank. Located south of Jerusalem and just west of Bethlehem, it sits atop one of the highest points in the area, and has a view of much of the Mediterranean coastal plain to the west, as well as the mountains of Jordan.

Its population is diverse; in addition to native Israelis, it is home to olim from the former Soviet Union, France, and a large number of American Jews and other Anglos. The town's population has ballooned from 800 residents in 2001 to nearly 1,300 in 2006, and a new neighborhood, known as "Dunam 900," is being erected to accommodate the growth.

Neve Daniel features a full size supermarket, pizza shop, library, community center, post office, a number of synagogues, a mikvah and several shops. The town is a middle class suburb located ten minutes from Jerusalem, where many of its residents work, and is situated just off of the Tunnels highway.
