The Great House of Justice is an elected body to administer the affairs of the Bahá'í Community worldwide, and is the highest administrative body of the Bahá'í Faith, headquartered at the foot of Mount Carmel in Haifa, State of Israel. The Bahá'í administrative system was based on a foundation different from other religious and administrative systems. This system is built on the foundations and principles proclaimed by Bahá'u'lláh in the Holy Book, which contains the rulings of the Bahá'í Faith. Bahá'u'lláh explicitly appointed His Son the Arshad 'Abdu'l-Bahá as the interpreter and clarifier of His teachings. 'Abdu'l-Bahá defined the administrative institutions, explained the requirements and manner of establishing the Great House of Justice and its powers, and created the position of guardianship of the order to which his grandson Shawqi Effendi Rabbani was appointed to assume it after his death.
7. Gan Binyamin
Hadar Hacarmel is one of Haifa's oldest neighborhoods and a central residential district in the city. Hadar 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 as early as 1907, and a little further east of today's Balfour Street. Subsidiary neighborhoods, which arose on all sides, soon 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.
