History of newsreels in Tel Aviv
On Friday February 22, 1935 Migdalor Cinema opened its doors at the corner of Allenby and Ben Yehuda Streets in Tel Aviv. It brought a revolution, because newsreels were untill this time only shown occasionally in movie theaters and now the theather was going to show a new newsreel every week. In the first years the Carmel Newsreels were seen by about 22 percent of the Jewish population. Nirit Anderman writes a long but absolutely readable story about Migdalor Cinema and Carmel Newsreels in Haaretz. Very much recommended! … Read entire article »
Exhibition of fire marks
Again on Ha’aetz.com there is a very interesting story [LINK] about so called fire marks from Israel. I was quite intrigued by this story. These fire (insurance) marks were the sign that insurance was payed for the specific building and in the British Mandate period quite common. Until February 25 the fire marks are on display at the HerzLilienblum Museum in Tel Aviv, next to fire fighting equipment from the early days of the state. Nice! … Read entire article »

Paul Anka takes Tel Aviv
An awesome criticism, I saw today in Ha’aretz about the concert of Paul Anka, yesterday evening in the Nokia Stadium. Ben Shalev wrote: “..Paul Anka’s performance in the Nokia Stadium in Tel Aviv on Wednesday night reminded his audience that he is a talented songwriter, an exellent singer, and outstanding entertainer, despite his age…” Tonight, Thursday 19th of November, Paul Anka will give a second concert. … Read entire article »
The worst show in town
A very good commentary I did find in Ha’aretz, November the 6th: “The worst show in town” about the ‘rape’ (so called restoration) of our national theater building Habima by the (so called) architect Ram Karmi. The editor of Ha’aretz wrote,e.g: “When every city resident wanting to expand a window or close off a balcony must go trough the purgatory of municipal red tape, it is puzzling that such brutal, environment-altering structure could have emerged (an enormous block of concrete, sealed by walls, rising like a dam along the street) in such an attractive part of central Tel-Aviv…” … Read entire article »
