Haifa in Israel was and is many ways more similar to Czernowitz than
any other city in Israel.
Jerusalem was too religious, Tel-Aviv was too fashionable. Haifa was
quiet and what in Czernowitz we called
"gelassen" (moderate/peaceful). My uncle, who immigrated to Palestine
in 1923, settled near Haifa,
in the 1930ies my grandfather bought land near Haifa. Later, after
WW2, Czernowitzers who moved to Israel
settled near their relatives and in the areas where there were many
German speaking people.
