Tel Aviv is burning
No, there is no need to call the fire department, but if you have been here in Tel Aviv the last few weeks, you probably have felt that hell came down to visit. This Friday noon I hang out with a friend in Neve Tzedek. I’m used to the fact that in summer there is less traffic (Israeli’s do travel), but both me and my friend were a little surprised to see only a small amount of people in the streets, many of them being French tourists. Even the coffee shops were not very occupied. It seems that we, the rough and tough Israelis were defeated by the sun. So, if you are like me, a sweat hater, here are some ideas for cool hiding places (sorry, malls are not here … Read entire article »

A sense of Place
I found this interesting article: “A sense of place” about the landscape-architecture in- and around the Suzanne Dellal Center for Dance and Theater in the Neve-Tsedek neighborhood, written by Ariel Hirschfeld in Ha’aretz Magazine. The architect, who created this project, was Shlomo Aronson. Worth a visit!! … Read entire article »

Last tickets, please…
A fantastic article (“Last tickets, please”) I found in the Jerusalem Post of August 7 by Sybil Ehrlich about the old Central busstation (Oh, those memories..!!) of Tel Aviv. The Tel Aviv landmark ceased to exist last week. After 68 years (it opened in July 1941) the old Central busstation has been demolished. I remember it all…this crowded, noisy place, with his shouting and loud music from 10 different small shops. For my bus to Afula (my kibbutz was near Beth Shean) you had to go to one of the side-streets (I never forget this small record-shop on the corner). And then this toilets in this enormous, large ‘brown’ building… I can still ‘smell it’. Behind this ‘brown toilets-building, near the small newspapers (and the first ‘porn’ magazines in Israel ;-) … Read entire article »

A great man is gone… … Read entire article »
