The Gordon Pool
Two years ago the Municipality of Tel-Aviv razed the historic 54 year-old Gordon swimmingpool without any prior warning. The pool, placed not far from Gordon-beach was the popular pool for the old bohemians of Tel-Aviv; the salt water was demarcated by lush lawns, which would offer a beautiful view of the valley. The forceful manner by which the municipality has conducted itself, without any manners or sensitivity of the historic vallue for the place and its customers (some more then 40 years!!), is revolting. A few weeks ago I watched a 20 minutes raw cut of a documentary about the last two years of this historic pool, made by the film-director Ronen Schechner: it is moving, heart-breaking; Gordon pool was for this people their home. Ronen is looking for sponsor to finish this important documentary … Read entire article »

TEL AVIV: For Ever Young
On a sunny afternoon, April the 11th 1909, 150 man, woman and children left the over-crowded port-city of Jaffa and walked 3 km north trough the hot, burning sand to a spot were they decided about the future of today’s Tel Aviv. Within a few month the first houses for those 66 families were build (Herzl, Jehuda-ha Levie and Lilienblum-street). As for today Tel Aviv-Jaffa population hit an all-time high of 391.300 inhabitants, still quite small compare to cities in Europe and the States. But this small city is an open minded city, free of spirit and always on the move. Just read what international magazines and papers wrote the last few years about the city: In January 2008 the leading French fashion magazine Vogue dedicated three flattering articles about Tel Aviv … Read entire article »
