It has gone from being a 'disregarded city' to a 'highly updated Strategic Plan for Tel regarded city' with the largest population it ever had, and from Aviv-Yafo and sets forth the a 'waning city' to a 'booming city' that is a recognized leader and vision for the city's future in the pioneer in many fields in Israel and across the globe. coming years. Because the world is constantly changing, the city – and Approximately two decades especially a 'nonstop city' like Tel Aviv-Yafo – must remain up have elapsed since we initiated to date and not be a prisoner of the past when planning its the preparation of a Strategic future. For that reason, about two years ago we decided the Plan for the city. As part time had come to revise the Strategic Plan documents and of the change we sought to achieve at the time in how the adapt our vision to the changing reality. That way we would be Municipality was managed - and in the absence of a long-term able to address the significant changes that have occurred in plan or zoning plan that outlined our urban development – we all spheres of life since drafting the previous plan and tackle the attached considerable importance to a Strategic Plan which opportunities and challenges that the future holds. would serve as an agreed-upon vision and compass to guide As with the Strategic Plan, the updating process was also our daily operations. characterized by an open and broad-based dialog that made The preparation of the Strategic Plan entailed an unprecedented use of cutting-edge tools and approaches to urban planning process of in-depth, comprehensive and multidisciplinary and development. Hundreds of residents, opinion leaders and planning. Close to 1,000 residents and stakeholders who experts from different fields took part in workshops, forums and represented a variety of interests and areas of expertise took online platforms on the municipal website. Furthermore, the part in that process. It produced two main documents: The process included special collaboration with the 100 Resilient City Profile, which describes the state of affairs in the city as Cities Network pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation. perceived by the public (published in 2002) and The City Vision, To better meet the social, economic and physical challenges the which includes an agreed-upon plan that outlines the city's long- city is likely to face in the future, Tel Aviv-Yafo became a member term strategic courses and the policy guidelines deriving from of the 100 Resilient Cities Network so it could incorporate a plan it (published in 2005). for increasing urban resilience in the revised Strategic Plan.

The founders of Tel Aviv-Yafo, headed by its first mayor, Meir Dizengoff, understood from the outset that the city is not only comprised of buildings and streets. Rather, it primarily relies on the spirit and values brought to it by the people who live there. Accordingly, from its early days as the first Hebrew city and up to the present, Tel Aviv-Yafo has played an important role in leading the civic agenda in the State of Israel and in shaping the image of Israeli society. Therefore, it is no surprise that Tel Aviv-Yafo's values are intertwined with the revised vision and strategy documents: democracy, tolerance, fostering science and research, rational thinking, culture and art, a home for all denominations and minorities, and openness that includes exchanging ideas with the rest of the world. All these have been and remain our beacon – just like the lighthouse in the city's logo, which will continue to mark Tel Aviv-Yafo's path and lead its agenda within and outside the city. I express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who took part in preparing and formulating the updated vision. I wish to thank the hundreds of residents who participated in the process as well as the people who spearheaded it – the City Engineer and the Strategic Planning Unit, the various departments at City Hall who were actively involved, and the professional consultants who facilitated the process.

The objectives of the current study were to: (1) evaluate RCI rate, (2) classify indications, (3) delineate the pre-RCI clinical course, and (4) measure surgical and speech perception outcomes, in a large cohort of patients implanted in a tertiary referral center between 1989–2018. Retrospective data review was performed and included patient demographics, medical records, and audiologic outcomes. Results indicated that RCI rate Citation: Sagiv, D.; Yaar-Soffer, Y.; was 11.7% (172/1465), with a trend of increased RCI load over the years.

  • Zefat, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century C.E. Epitaphs from the Jewish Cemetery
    1 In loving memory of my mother, Batsheva Friedman Stepansky, whose forefathers arrived in Zefat and Tiberias 200 years ago and are buried in their ancient cemeteries Zefat, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century C.E. Epitaphs from the Jewish Cemetery Yosef Stepansky, Zefat Introduction In recent years a large concentration of gravestones bearing Hebrew epitaphs from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries C.E. has been exposed in the ancient cemetery of Zefat, among them the gravestones of prominent Rabbis, Torah Academy and community leaders, well-known women (such as Rachel Ha-Ashkenazit Iberlin and Donia Reyna, the sister of Rabbi Chaim Vital), the disciples of Rabbi Isaac Luria ("Ha-ARI"), as well as several until-now unknown personalities. Some of the gravestones are of famous Rabbis and personalities whose bones were brought to Israel from abroad, several of which belong to the well-known Nassi and Benvenisti families, possibly relatives of Dona Gracia. To date (2018) some fifty gravestones (some only partially preserved) have been exposed, and that is so far the largest group of ancient Hebrew epitaphs that may be observed insitu at one site in Israel. Stylistically similar epitaphs can be found in the Jewish cemeteries in Istanbul (Kushta) and Salonika, the two largest and most important Jewish centers in the Ottoman Empire during that time. Fig. 1: The ancient cemetery in Zefat, general view, facing north; the bottom of the picture is the southern, most ancient part of the cemetery. 2 Since 2010 the southernmost part of the old cemetery of Zefat (Fig. 1; map ref. 24615/76365), seemingly the most ancient part of the cemetery, has been scrutinized in order to document and organize the information inscribed on the oldest of the gravestones found in this area, in wake of and parallel with cleaning-up and preservation work conducted in this area under the auspices of the Zefat religious council.

First, it aims to make known to the general public the fact that Tel Aviv, a modern town one hundred years of age, is in its core one of the few successes of modern planning. Tel Aviv enjoys real urban activity, almost around the clock, and this activity contains all the range of human achievement: social, cultural, financial, etc. This intensity is promoted and enlivened by a relatively minor part of the city, the part planned by Sir Patrick Geddes, a Scotsman, anthropologist and man of vision. This urban core is the subject of the book, and it will be explored and presented here using aerial photos, maps, panoramic views, and what we hope will be layman-accessible explanations.
