The Tel Aviv Beach in Central Park New York
On Sunday, June the 21 st you (people in New York and all suburbs and surrounding cities) should come to Central Park at 11.00 a.m. and get a ‘taste‘ of the Tel Aviv beach with sand from our beach, the swinging reggae band Hatikva-6, with DJ Hadar Marks, with the Israeli rockband Flow, beach games (of course our Israeli national beach-sport: ‘Matkot‘) and backgammon games. Entrance is free. As I said before you will get the taste there in your Central Park, but if you wanna really feel this electric spirit, see those beautiful Israeli girls and hunks, enjoy swinging salsa parties at the evening, have a stroll at midnight along the boulevard, then there is no way out: you must visit Tel-Aviv a.s.a.p. ;-) Welcome all New-Yorkers!!! … Read entire article »

Highrise towers in Neve-Tsedek
I am very ‘happy’ with the article by Raz Smolsky and Guy Liberman: “The towers of Tel Aviv” in Ha’aretz (June the 5th). It was time that also the daily newspapers in Israel would write about those ugly highrise around the beautiful neighborhood of Neve-Tsedek. Those ‘empty‘ towers are build for the rich French and Americans, who will ‘visit‘ their million $ apartments during the Jewish holidays. It is a crying shame: they are building a ‘wall‘ around Neve-Tsedek!!! Maybe, this time we can stop them?! Inhabitants of Neve-Tsedek tried before, even in long court battles…so, for those new ugly plans by the Municpality of Tel Aviv, we should start again a strong grass-roots movement(!!) : “Save Neve-Tsedek, Stop those ugly high-rise!!” … Read entire article »
