A city born at a seashell lottery
Last year, the Israel Post Office, issued a new stamp with a composition about the famous seashells lottery of 1909. The lottery was held on the second day of Passover, April 11th 1909 in the afternoon. The participants (150 man, woman and children) gathered on the sand dunes, 3 kilometers north of Yafo. Arieh Akiva Weis, chairman of the lottery commitee, gathered 60 grey and 60 white shells. He wrote the name of the participants on the white shells, and the plot numbers on the grey shells. He paired a white and grey shell, assigning each family a plot. After the lottery, Avraham Soskin, took his famous photo. … Read entire article »

Tel Aviv Fever one month old! Time for a present :-D
April 19th, 2009 | 5 Comments
Yes, today [19:30 IL Time ;-) ] it is only one month that Tel Aviv Fever is LIVE. :-D We decided to give you a present, because we are thrilled by your reactions, of which we get most by e-mail and not as a comment, but that is a minor detail ;-) Don’t be afraid to tell us what you think! We thought you would love a video channel with video’s of Tel Aviv Only. So we made you our own Tel Aviv Fever vChannel. You can find it in the upper menu or HERE (which basically both do the same ;-) ) If you know a nice video that is not included yet, tell us, so we can put it there too! ENJOY! … Read entire article »
