Info

Mount Hope (Hebrew: הר התקווה‬) was a farm established northeast of Jaffa in 1853 by two groups of Millennial Protestant Christians from Prussia and the United States. Their goal was to train the Jews of Palestine to farm and thereby accelerate the redemption. Following various hardships including malaria and an 1858 attack by local Arabs, the settlement was abandoned.
