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.

  • Places to Visit in Tel Aviv
    Places to visit in Tel Aviv Tel Aviv – North The Yitzhak Rabin Center The Yitzhak Rabin Center is the national institute established by the Knesset in 1997 that advances the legacy of the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, a path-breaking, visionary leader whose life was cut short in a devastating assassination. The Center presents Yitzhak Rabin’s remarkable life and tragic death, pivotal elements of the history of Israel, whose impact must not be ignored or forgotten lest risk the recurrence of such shattering events. The Center’s mission is to ensure that the vital lessons from this story are actively remembered and used to shape an Israeli society and leadership dedicated to open dialogue, democratic value, Zionism and social cohesion. The Center promotes activities and programs that inspire cultured, engaged and civil exchanges among the different sectors that make up the complex mosaic of Israeli society. The Israeli Museum at the Yitzhak Rabin Center is the first and only museum in Israel to explore the development of the State of Israel as a young democracy. Built in a downward spiral, the Museum presents two parallel stories: the history of the State and Israeli society, and the biography of Yitzhak Rabin. The Museum’s content was determined by an academic team headed by Israeli historian, Professor Anita Shapira. We recommend allocating from an hour and thirty minutes to two hours for a visit. The Museum experience utilizes audio devices that allow visitors to tour the Museum at their own pace. They are available in Hebrew, English and Arabic.

  • The Limits of Separation: Jaffa and Tel Aviv Before 1948—The Underground Story
    – Karlinsky The Limits of Separation THE LIMITS OF SEPARATION: JAFFA AND TEL AVIV — BEFORE 1948 THE UNDERGROUND STORY In: Maoz A zaryahu and S. Ilan Troen (eds.), Tel-Aviv at 100: Myths, Memories and Realities (Indiana University Press, in print) Nahum Karlinsky “ Polarized cities are not simply mirrors of larger nationalistic ethnic conflicts, but instead can be catalysts through which conflict is exacerbated ” or ameliorated. Scott A. Bollens, On Narrow Ground: Urban Policy and Ethnic Conflict in Jerusalem and Belfast (Albany, NY, 2000), p. 326. Abstract — This article describes the development of the underground infrastructure chiefly the — water and sewerage systems of Tel Aviv and Jaffa from the time of the establishment of Tel Aviv (1909) to 1948. It examines the realization of the European-informed vision of ’ Tel Aviv s founders in regard to these underground constructs in a basically non-European context. It adds another building block, however small and partial, to the growing number of studies that aspire to reconstruct that scantily researched area of relations between Jaffa and Tel Aviv before 1948. Finally, it revisits pre-1948 ethnic and national relations ’ between the country s Jewish collective and its Palestinian Arab population through the prism of the introduction of a seemingly neutral technology into a dense urban setting, and the role played by a third party (here, mainly, the British authorities) in shaping these relations. Models of Urban Relations in Pre-1948 Palestine The urban history of pre-1948 Palestine has gained welcome momentum in recent years. Traditionally, mainstream Zionist and Palestinian historiographies concentrated mainly on the rural sector, which for both national communities symbolized a mythical attachment to “ ” the land.

  • A House in the Almanshiyya Neighborhood in the Town of Jaffa. Today: the Etzel Museum in Tel Avivyafo
    A house in the al­Manshiyya neighborhood in the town of Jaffa. Today: The Etzel Museum in Tel Aviv­Yafo (2008. Photo: Amaya Galili). ❖ What do you see in the picture? What message does this building’s architecture transmit? ❖ Al­Manshiyya was a Palestinian neighborhood in Jaffa, on the coast, built at the end of the 1870's, at the same time as Neve Tzedek, a Jewish neighborhood in southwestern Tel Aviv. Until 1948, Palestinians also lived in Neve Tzedek, and Jews lived in al­Manshiyya. The destruction of the neighborhood began with its capture in 1948 and continued into the 1970’s. Only two of the original buildings in al­Manshiyya remained: the Jaffa railroad station and the Hassan Beq Mosque. The building in the photo was turned into the Etzel Museum; Etzel was the organization that captured Jaffa in 1948. The museum building preserved only the lower part of the Palestinian structure, and a square black glass construction was added on top of it. ❖ The building is clearly visible from the shoreline, from Tel Aviv as well as from Jaffa, and looks as if its aim was to symbolize and emphasize the Israeli presence and its conquest of the structures and lives of its Palestinian inhabitants. There’s no indication, inside or outside the museum, of whose house this was, and no mention of the neighborhood in which it stood. A mosque in the village of Wadi Hunayn. Today it’s a synagogue near Nes Ziona (1987. Photo: Ra’fi Safiya). ❖ How do we know this was a mosque? ❖ We can see the architectural elements that characterized Muslim architecture in the region: the building has a dome and arched windows.
