Originally founded in 1913 in Moscow, the Habima was one of the first modern Hebrew language theaters. It moved to its current home in the culturally vibrant city of Tel Aviv in 1928 following persecution in Russia, and successful world tours. The theater settled on its current landmark site at the top of Rothschild Boulevard in what is known as Habima Square in 1945.
