Tel Aviv Centennial Picture – part 3
The surrounding festivities at the old ‘Manshia’ train station today, April 17th, were just wonderful. Actors were dressed-up in clothes of the beginning of 1900, there were free ‘Gazoos‘ drinks (soda with a very sweet syrup), old Jazz music and of course a speech by mayor Ron Huldai. Also good-old ‘Chich‘ (Shlomo Lahat) was at the party. He was mayor of Tel Aviv from 1974 until 1993. … Read entire article »

Tel Aviv Centennial Picture – part 2
Abraham Soskin‘s photo, which documented the famous seashell lottery on April 11th,1909, has become an emblem of Tel Aviv’s mythology and history. It was wonderful to see today, April 17th,2009, all the descendants families, some nearly 90 years old, some still small babies. Everywhere people took group pictures and the largest descendants family came to the old Yafo train-station with 135 family-members!! Some families had pictures on them from their great-grandparents (the founders) some made special T-shirts (of the famous Gymnasium Herzliya). [edit: The Tel Aviv Centennial Photo Series are here: (1, 2 & 3)] … Read entire article »

Tel Aviv Centennial Picture – part 1
Today, April 17th, thousands of descendants of the 66 family-founders of Tel-Aviv (1909) flocked the old ‘Manisha’ train-station, built at the end of the 19th century on the border of Neve-Tsedek (it connected Yafo with Jerusalem). Today the site comprises more then 20 renovated buildings surrounded by landscaped lawns, and will include boutique shops, cafes and restaurants. One of the descendants of the Sirkis-family showed me a rare object: an invitation from March 1959 for the 50 year celebration of Tel Aviv, his grandfather (one of the founders of Tel Aviv) received from the municipality. Within the invitation was a copy of the original picture, taken by Avraham Soskin on April 11th 1909 (the sea-shell lottery) and two entry-tickets for the celebration. His grandfather didn’t visit the evening, because the entry-strips … Read entire article »

‘Tel-Aviv, then and now’
The famous ‘seashell’ lottery on April 11th 1909 has became an emblem of Tel Aviv’s mythology and history and the picture that was made about this event by Avraham Soskin. On April 17, next week, the descendants of the founders will gather in the ‘Charles Clore Park’ (see below) to reenact this famous photograph, together with descendants of the city builders and prominent figures alongside thousands of residents. On of the decedants of the founders (his grandparents) is Jeremy Ben-Ami, living today in Washington. So next week, Jeremy will come to Tel Aviv to take part in this photo shoot. In the ‘International Herald Tribune’ of today, April 10, Jeremy Ben-Ami wrote an article under the headline: “Tel-Aviv, Then and Now”. [edit: The location for the Centennial Photo has been changed. The NEW LOCATION … Read entire article »
