TO the POINT Posters by Dan Reisinger FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 1919,, 2013 Media Contacts: Nikki Bazar, (310) 440440----4578,4578, [email protected] Mia CariCariñññño,o, (310) 440440----4544,4544, [email protected] Skirball Cultural Center presents TO THE POINT Posters by Dan Reisinger January 1414––––AprilApril 20, 2014 FREE admission Form and Structure ● Tel Aviv ● From Bauhaus to Post-Modern LOS ANGELES—A selection of iconic posters by Dan Reisinger (b. 1934), one of Israel’s most prominent design pioneers, will be on view at the Skirball Cultural Center from January 14 through April 20, 2014. To the Point: Posters by Dan Reisinger presents three types of the artist’s graphic design posters spanning the past fifty years. Included in the exhibition are social and political protest posters designed between 1963 and 1993, a range of advertisements Reisinger created for EL AL Israel Airlines from 1968 to 1972, and a 2012 series focused on Tel Aviv’s changing architectural landscape from Bauhaus to postmodernism. Known internationally for his innovative use of symbols and vibrant visual language, Reisinger has adopted the motto of his teacher, the renowned British designer Abram Games, who believed in creating designs of “maximum meaning” by “minimum means.” These posters artfully demonstrate Reisinger’s individual style of using and adapting symbols in order to create new meaning. EL AL Amsterdam Skirball Cultural Center Page 222 of 222 For the first half of its display, To the Point is shown in tandem with Global Citizen: The Architecture of Moshe Safdie , on view through March 2, 2014. In addition to his printed work, Reisinger also created a fifty-meter-long wall relief for the Moshe Safdie–designed Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum in Israel. About Dan Reisinger Dan Reisinger was born in Kanjiža, (former) Yugoslavia in 1934. He survived the Nazi occupation and immigrated to the new State of Israel in 1949. During the 1950s, he studied at Bezalel Academy of Art in Jerusalem and at the Central School of Art in London. The Dan Reisinger Studio opened in 1967 in Tel Aviv, with a commission to design the Israeli Pavilion at the Expo ’67 in Montreal. In 1976–1977, Reisinger had his first one-man exhibition at The Israel Museum, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and has since exhibited throughout Israel and around the world. His work ranges from corporate identities and logos to murals, paintings, stamps, calendars, and urban works, such as color designing trains for Israel Railways and the Carmelit subway stations in Haifa. He has taught at Bezalel and at Haifa University, and was appointed Honorary Professor at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art in Budapest. Reisinger was awarded the Israel Prize—one of the state’s highest honors—in 1998. The jury for that prize called him “a multidisciplinary designer who has imprinted his mark on the visual language of Israel.” About the Skirball The Skirball Cultural Center is dedicated to exploring the connections between 4,000 years of Jewish heritage and the vitality of American democratic ideals.

  • ELAL Guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club
    2 Flight Status Australia EN Passenger Information TravelELAL guide to Haifa Israel Frequent Flyer Club Login Accessibility Haifa​​​​ - A Thriving Hub of Cultures, History, and Scenery Haifa, the third largest city in Israel, and the largest one in northern Israel, is a thriving hub of cultures, history, and some of the country’s most beautiful scenery. Built along the Mediterranean and atop the Carmel Range, Haifa is dripping with greenery and natural flora and fauna anywhere you look. Get To Know Haifa Since ancient times and up until today, Haifa is one of the country’s two main port towns, with much of the Israel’s imported goods passing through its gates. Haifa’s geographical conditions - plain by the sea and hilly and steep as you head up; divide the city into two main parts - downtown and uptown, both internally divided again into many different suburbs and neighborhoods. Each area of Haifa is uniquely characterized - the city’s downtown, in close proximity to the port, is much more industrial, grubby and commerce-oriented, yet full of some of the city’s best restaurants, pubs and night clubs. Predominantly Arab, this authentic part of town preserved some of its historical nature, both in its culture and its architecture; beautiful, old, dilapidated buildings dating back to the Ottoman Empire years, are dotted all throughout, amidst some of Israel’s finest Arab restaurants and eateries. As you head up towards the city's uptown part, the stunning scenery of Haifa’s Bay is revealed in all its glory. The city’s uptown neighborhoods are relatively newer, most of which are draped in local flora and fauna, making for beautiful drives around the city, as well as a green balance for the heavy pollution downtown.

  • Israel Travel Guide You Are Reading Is a Greatly Expanded Version of One I First Prepared for an American Friend Some Two Decades Ago
    ISRAEL: A PERSONAL TRAVEL GUIDE By Douglas E. Duckett Cincinnati, Ohio, USA [email protected] ©2004-2016 Douglas E. Duckett All rights reserved. INTRODUCTION. The Israel travel guide you are reading is a greatly expanded version of one I first prepared for an American friend some two decades ago. In it, I have tried to share my experiences and knowledge of Israel based on a lifetime of study and fifteen visits to the country, most recently in May 2016. I enjoy independent travel, and this guide was written primarily with such travelers in mind, though I hope the information will be helpful to those on group tours as well. As an American, I have produced a guide that, no doubt, reflects that identify and experience. I hope my readers from other countries will forgive that, and still find useful information to help plan their trips. I am not in the travel industry. Rather, I am a labor lawyer who loves Israel passionately and wants to encourage others to travel there and experience this wonderful land. My first visit was in November 1988, and I caught the bug; thus I started visiting every other year or so thereafter, except for 2000-2004, the truly terrible years of the second Palestinian uprising and the terror bombings in Israel cities. Now, with partial retirement, I am going every year (God willing!). Even with the mostly peaceful conditions prevailing since then, some friends still asked, “are you sure you want to go back to Israel?” Of course, recent tensions in Jerusalem, with a wave of stabbing attacks on Israelis, have further increased those anxieties, even for me to some degree.

  • Moovit Launches Maas on a National Scale in Israel
    Moovit Launches MaaS on a National Scale in Israel Travelers will be able to plan their journeys and pay for public transit rides via the Moovit app without the need to handle cash, physical tickets, a card, or need to top-up passes in advance Ness Ziona - December 2020 - For the first time in Israel, starting Tuesday, ​ December 15, public transportation passengers will be able to enjoy a comprehensive Mobility as a Service (MaaS) experience - public transit information, travel planning and easy mobile payment - all in one application. Moovit and Pango, the two most popular transportation apps in Israel, each with ​ ​ ​ more than 2 million users in Israel, have teamed up to provide a solution that improves the payment and travel experience for passengers. The move will revolutionize payment for public transportation in Israel: riders will be able to pay for public transit tickets via the Moovit app, without having to buy and top up a Rav Kav card in advance, and fear losing or forgetting it. Eliminating the need to use change to pay for bus tickets will enable frequent and infrequent public transportation riders, including tourists, to easily pay with the Moovit app. This mobile ticketing solution will be available on all buses in Israel, and starting on February 1, will also be available on Israel Railways and the Carmelit in Haifa. This new service is also a revolution for riders in terms of fares. The app will calculate passenger’s trips at the end of every month and charge them retroactively according to the most economical fare combination.
