Allenby Street (Hebrew:רחוב אלנבי,romanized: Rekhóv Álenbi) is a major street inTel Aviv,Israel. It was named in honor ofField Marshal Viscount Allenby.
Allenby Street stretches from theMediterranean Sea in the northwest to HaAliya Street in the southeast. It was first paved with concrete in 1914. During the day, it is a commercial street with many small businesses and clothing stores. At night, its cafés, pubs and restaurants throng with people. Many public buses run along Allenby Street.
The 1925 Lederberg House, at the intersection ofRothschild Boulevard and Allenby, features a series of large ceramic murals designed byZe'ev Raban of theBezalel school. The four murals show a Jewish pioneer sowing and harvesting, a shepherd, and Jerusalem with a verse from Jeremiah 31:4, "Again I will rebuild thee and thou shalt be rebuilt."[1]
