Tel Shikmona, or Tell es-Samak, also spelt Sycamine, is an ancient Phoenician tell (mound) situated near the sea coast in the modern city of Haifa, Israel, just south of the Israeli National Institute of Oceanography. It has been called a "forgotten Phoenician site". Nowadays researchers identify Tell es-Smak with Porphyreon (south).

A Baháʼí House of Worship or Baháʼí temple is a place of worship of the Baháʼí Faith. It is also referred to by the name Mashriqu'l-Adhkár, which is Arabic for "Dawning-place of the remembrance of God". Baháʼí Houses of Worship are open to both Baháʼís and non-Baháʼís for prayer and reflection. All Baháʼí Houses of Worship have a round, nine-sided shape and are surrounded by nine pathways leading outwards and nine gardens. Baháʼí literature envisages Houses of Worship surrounded by a number of dependencies dedicated to social, humanitarian, educational, and scientific pursuits, although no Baháʼí House of Worship has yet been built up to that extent. At present, most Baháʼí devotional meetings occur in individuals' homes or local Baháʼí centres rather than in Baháʼí Houses of Worship.

Hadar Hacarmel is one of Haifa's oldest neighborhoods and a central residential district in the city. The neighborhood was established as a "garden city" according to the planning of Richard Kaufmann in 1922. The term "Hadar" includes the collection of neighborhoods located on the step between the lower city and the Carmel. In the past, the meaning was more limited, and the Hadar neighborhood was defined by the streets east of the Herzliya neighborhood, whose land was purchased in 1907, and a little east of today's Balfour Street. Subsidiary neighborhoods, which arose on all sides, quickly merged, some of which lost their name and identity, and were included in Hadar HaCarmel, and together they now constitute a district with an area of 2.83 square kilometers, about 4.4% of the jurisdiction of the city of Haifa.

The Universal House of Justice is the nine-member supreme ruling body of the Baháʼí Faith. It was envisioned by Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith, as an institution that could legislate on issues not already addressed in the Baháʼí writings, providing flexibility for the Baháʼí Faith to adapt to changing conditions. It was first elected in 1963, and subsequently every five years, by delegates consisting of the members of Baháʼí National Spiritual Assemblies throughout the world.
