Abraham Soskin‘s photo, which documented the famous seashell lottery on April 11th,1909, has become an emblem of Tel Aviv’s mythology and history. It was wonderful to see today, April 17th,2009, all the descendants families, some nearly 90 years old, some still small babies. Everywhere people took group pictures and the largest descendants family came to the old Yafo train-station with 135 family-members!! Some families had pictures on them from their great-grandparents (the founders) some made special T-shirts (of the famous Gymnasium Herzliya).
