Unsdorf (Hebrew: קריית אונסדורף‎), officially Kiryat Unsdorf, is a Haredi Jewish neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel. It is located on the northern edge of the mountain plateau on which central Jerusalem lies. Unsdorf is bordered by Kiryat Sanz, Kiryat Belz, and Kiryat Itri.

The main thoroughfare is Sorotzkin Street, named after Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin.

History

Unsdorf was founded by Rabbi Akiva Ehrenfeld, who established the neighboring Kiryat Mattersdorf neighborhood under the direction of his father, Rabbi Shmuel Ehrenfeld, the Mattersdorfer Rav, in 1959.[1]
