Kiryat Haim

Kiryat Haim (Hebrew: קריית חיים  pronounced [kiʁˈjat χaˈjim]) is a neighborhood of Haifa.

[1][2] Kiryat Haim is within the municipal borders of the city of Haifa and lies on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea.

Kibbutz Kfar Masaryk, a group formed in Petah Tikva in 1932 and originally known as "Czecho-Lita", as its members came from Czechoslovakia and Lithuania, moved to Bat Galim in 1933 and then to the sand dunes of Kiryat Haim, west of the railway.

As part of its coastal development plan, the Haifa Economic Corporation built the Kiryat Haim Promenade, named for Israeli minister of the environment Yehudit Naot.

[5] Kiryat Haim absorbed large numbers of immigrants from the former Soviet Union who arrived in the 1990s.
