Summary[edit]

Description
עברית: מגדל השעון ביפו הוא מגדל שעון שהוקם על ידי מוריץ שיינברג, שען וצורף יהודי מיפו[1]. המגדל, שהוקם בשנת 1903, היה אחד משישה מגדלי שעון שנבנו בארץ ישראל לכבוד יובל 25 שנות כהונתו של הסולטאן העות'מאני עבדול חמיד השני. המגדל נבנה בעזרת תרומתם של תושבי העיר, ערבים ויהודים, ובראשם יוסף בק מויאל[2], והוא אחד ממאה מגדלי שעון שנבנו ברחבי האימפריה העות'מאנית כולה. המגדל בנוי מאבן כורכר, וצורתו מזכירה במעט כנסייה אירופית. בראש המגדל כיסוי נחושת, שבו שני שעונים ופעמון המצלצל אחת לחצי שעה. על שם המגדל נקראה הכיכר בה נמצא - כיכר השעון.
English: The Clock Tower in Jaffa is a clock tower erected by Moritz Scheinberg, a Jewish watchmaker and jeweler from Jaffa [1]. The tower, built in 1903, was one of six clock towers built in Israel in honor of the 25th anniversary of the tenure of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The tower was built with the help of donations from the city's residents, Arabs and Jews, led by Yosef Beck Moyal [2], and is one of a hundred clock towers built throughout the Ottoman Empire. The tower is built of kurkar stone, and its shape is somewhat reminiscent of a European church. At the top of the tower is a copper cover, with two clocks and a bell ringing once every half hour. The square in which it is located was named after the tower - Clock Square.
