The article name is misspelled

The neighborhood name is Nave Sha'anan and not Neve Sha'anan, According to the verse in Isaiah 33:20:

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemn gatherings; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a peaceful habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

חֲזֵה צִיּוֹן קִרְיַת מוֹעֲדֵנוּ עֵינֶיךָ תִרְאֶינָה יְרוּשָׁלִַם נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן אֹהֶל בַּל יִצְעָן בַּל יִסַּע יְתֵדֹתָיו לָנֶצַח וְכָל חֲבָלָיו בַּל יִנָּתֵקוּ.

נָוֶה שַׁאֲנָן is Nave Sha'anan in English.

If someone could rename this page (and make the current spelling redirecting to the new one) - this would be great (and add a comment about the name origin, in the body of the article).—Preceding unsigned comment added by Esthy Klein (talkcontribs) 18:10, 26 November 2007

It is not misspelled, as the name of the neighbourhood is not pronounced in the same way as the biblical verse. As well as being the most common spelling, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Haifa City Council and Haaretz all use the current spelling. Regards, пﮟოьεԻ 57 13:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Is Grand really "Middle East's largest shopping mall"? Somehow, I doubt that. --132.68.4.170 (talk) 09:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
On Haifa street signs it is spelled "Nave," and I believe that to be the correct spelling and pronunciation. "Neve" is the proximity (סמיכות) form of the word "Nave," and the misspelling stems from the false interpretation of "Nave Sha'anan" as a "proximity combination" (not sure if that's how you say צרוף סמיכות in English), as if it meant "tranquil's abode" instead of "tranquil abode." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.186.20.192 (talk) 21:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Please, It's Nave Sha'anan! NOT Neve..! See the niqqud in the hebrew article! Why should millions of readers get an inappropriate pronunciation in their face every time when checking out this article//? Thanx, /Orrling 188.120.128.220 (talk) 00:16, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
