Our Tel Aviv Fever website in The Jerusalem Post
Last Friday, Hannah Brown (for years the cinema-reviewer of the daily) mentioned our website Tel Aviv Fever in her weekly column CineFile in the Billboard Entertainment Guide of April 2nd. (a Friday Magazine of the Post). She wrote: “…Finally, you’ve seen the movie Ajami, and now you can tour the neighborhood for which the film was named. Frits de Wit, an expert on Tel Aviv history and architecture who has been living in the White City for over 20 years, conducts walking tours of Ajami. On his tours, he explans the history of the area, from early in the last century and up trough recent years. To get more information or to book a trip, check out De Wit’s website [in fact a joined effort of the two editors - ed.] , … Read entire article »

Florentin – from Salonika to Soho
A very loveable article, I did find in the METRO (Jerusalem Post, Friday January 15th) written by Joanna Paraszcur about the Florentin neighborhood in Tel Aviv, founded almost 90 years ago by Greek immigrants: “Florentin – from Salonika to Soho”. The neighborhood is today a new catch for real-estate developers. … Read entire article »

Kirot, a look at contemporary Tel Aviv
Last week the screenings started in cinema’s all over Israel of film-director Danny Lerner‘s new feature: Kirot (‘Walls’). His latest film is a look at a violent, contemporary Tel Aviv, starring Ninette Tayeb (the first winner of the Israeli ‘American Idol’) and Olga Kurylenk (the latest ‘Bond girl’ in ‘Quantam of Solace’.) Hannah Brown wrote in “The Jerusalem Post” of Friday, December 18th about Danny Lerner: “…there is no question that Lerner is one of the most talented, interesting and ambitous directors working in Israel today.” … Read entire article »
Hotel with Fine Art
Yesterday, I did find this article in the Jerusalem Post (August 27th) by Ruth Beloff about the beautiful, new boutique-hotel: ART+Hotel at the Ben Jehuda Street no.35. She wrote: “…It was food for thought as I entered the hotel and began to absorb the bold colors, soft Jazz and pleasant scent of the lobby…” … 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 »
Clothes like days
An interesting article about the fashion designer Michal Bassad, I did find today in The Jerusalem Post Magazine (July 17th 2009) written by Michal Lando and Mya Guarnieri. Michal says: “My clothes are very organic in that manner, they are not planned, they are intuitive…” and: “My design has become softer over the years…it’s not only about aesthetics, it’s about philosophy and life.” … Read entire article »
Window shopping on Dizengoff
An article, full of nostalgia, I found in the Jerusalem Post, friday June 26th, written by Bracha Stock: “Window shopping on Dizengoff”. This was the ‘good old days’ without (!) this ugly small viaduct they build (in the 70s) over the once most beautiful (and only square in the world designed completely in the Internationale Style!!) square in Tel Aviv, with a fountain in the middle. An other assault on a historic place in Tel-Aviv!! … Read entire article »

The ‘Yekkes’ in Tel Aviv
A charming article I found yesterday in the Metro (Jerusalem Post, May 28th/2009) about the ‘Yekkes’ of Tel Aviv, written by Bracha Stork. Yekkes was the nick-name for the Jews from German origin. (always, even during hot summer days, with their suits, ‘jacket’, on!!). Until today, you will find them in the small cafe-shops around Ben-Gurionstreet, still talking German ;-) [via Jerusalem Post Online] … Read entire article »
“The Bubble”
An interesting article I found May the 14th in the Jerusalem Post, written by David Brinn : The Bubble. In the article movie-maker and resident Gal Uchovsky says: “Tel-Aviv is a big metropolitan city… It’s were everything is happening, especially for younger people who want to create and live in an international, vibrant, open-minded environment – this is the place to go”. [via Jerusalem Post Online] … Read entire article »
“Tel Aviv from the bottom of a coffee cup and a beer glass”
Yesterday, Friday 15th, I found this nice article in The Jerusalem Post by Ari Miller: “Two vices too few”. He wrote: “Tel-Aviv turns me on. From the beautiful woman to the nooks and crannies it has to offer, I can’t seem to get enough. Stuck between the Mediterranean coast and Israel, coupled with the malaise of life in general, this city, which combines the best of the First World with the exotic tragedy of the Third, is made livable for two reasons: coffee and beer. Let me explain…” [via Jerusalem Post Online] … Read entire article »
‘A tale of two capitals’
Yesterday, I saw this interesting article in the Jerusalem Post (April 28th) by Liat Collins: “A tale of two capitals”. And, as always,you will find this ‘love/hate’ (most of the time more ‘hate’) relation between this two cities: Tel Aviv and Jerusalem! Liat Collins wrote “…I have always been rather intimidated by Tel Aviv. I speak the language, but I don’t get the mind-set…” Liat, maybe you didn’t try enough?? ;-) … Read entire article »
