Israeli fashion goes electric at Gan Hahashmal
If you want to buy the latest in Israeli fashion design, Tel Aviv's Gan Hahashmal neighborhood is the best destination.
Reporting by Viva Sarah Press for ISRAEL21c
Tel Aviv's Electric Garden
An old Tel Aviv neighborhood now being gentrified has become the unlikely heart of Israel's burgeoning alternative fashion industry.
It's one of Tel Aviv's oldest neighborhoods, but now Gan Hahashmal -- the Electric Garden -- so called for being Israel's first neighborhood to house a power plant, is famous for its alternative fashion boutiques.
There's an atmosphere of creativity in the neighborhood, says Idit Barak, owner of Delicatessen Boutique There are some artists' studios and fashion. It's not like Dizengoff [Boulevard] where the boutiques are glued back to back. There's a nice mix. Here it's more like a stroll in the city and you find all kinds of little places.
Gan Hahashmal is a prime place to view Bauhaus style buildings, many of them currently being renovated, along with an eclectic mix of trendy stores, cafes, hardware stores and shoemakers -- even a medical supply warehouse.
I choose to work here because it's an interesting place, a place that stimulates inspiration, says jewelry designer Hagar Satat (hagarsatat.com).

Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv
Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv was opened in March 2016 in the beating heart of Tel Aviv, surrounded by many of the city's hottest spots. With nearly 400 beds and elegant facilities, our Tel Aviv hostel will extend our hospitality, made famous by Abraham in Biblical times, and proven by our Jerusalem team in modern times, to the nonstop city.
Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv is located on HaRakevet Street, 50 meters from the buzzing Rothschild Boulevard in the small neighborhood Electric Garden (Gan HaHashmal). We're in the heart of the city's cafe, restaurant, and nightlife scene, on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 'White City', and within walking distance of the beach, Old Jaffa, the edgy Florentin neighborhood, and the city's main cultural attractions. We’re well located for public transportation, with convenient bus routes nearby, and the Central Bus Station and HaHagana railway station within walking distance.

Когда одежду можно одевать двадцатью разными способами, выдавать один предмет гардероба за другой или сразу даже за несколько, а также обманывать зрение окружающих печатным рисунком на одежде - это не фантастика, это изобретение современных модельеров из Израиля Филиппа Блау и Елены Блаунштейн.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Tel Aviv (Hebrew: תֵּל אָבִיב, [tel aˈviv], Arabic: تل أَبيب) is the second most populous city in Israel—after Jerusalem—and the most populous city in the conurbation of Gush Dan, Israel's largest metropolitan area. Located on the country's Mediterranean coastline and with a population of 443,939, it is the economic and technological center of the country.
Tel Aviv is governed by the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, headed by Mayor Ron Huldai, and is home to many foreign embassies. It is a global city and is ranked 25th in the Global Financial Centres Index. Tel Aviv has the third- or fourth-largest economy and the largest economy per capita in the Middle East. The city has the 31st highest cost of living in the world. Tel Aviv receives over 2.5 million international visitors annually. A party capital in the Middle East, it has a lively nightlife and 24-hour culture. Tel Aviv is home to Tel Aviv University, the largest university in the country with more than 30,000 students.
The city was founded in 1909 by the Yishuv (Jewish residents) as a modern housing estate on the outskirts of the ancient port city of Jaffa (Hebrew: יָפוֹ Yafo), then part of the Jerusalem province of Ottoman Syria. It was at first called 'Ahuzat Bayit' (lit. building houses, the name of the association which established the neighbourhood), a name changed the following year to 'Tel Aviv'. Its name means Ancient Hill of Spring. Other Jewish suburbs of Jaffa established outside Jaffa's Old City even before Tel Aviv, eventually became part of Tel Aviv, the oldest among them being Neve Tzedek (est. 1886).Immigration by mostly Jewish refugees meant that the growth of Tel Aviv soon outpaced that of Jaffa, which had a majority Arab population at the time. Tel Aviv and Jaffa were later merged into a single municipality in 1950, two years after the Israeli Declaration of Independence, which was proclaimed in the city. Tel Aviv's White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world's largest concentration of International Style buildings, including Bauhaus and other related modernist architectural styles.

Nathan Miller ⎪ Diplomacy: Navigating a Broader Conversation About Israel
In a communications environment dominated by the conflict, how do you show the public that Israel is home to much more than war, tension, and terror. Organizations like ISRAEL21c try to promote a broader conversation one news story at a time, tailoring content that is relevant for specific niche communities – from birdwatchers to brain surgeons. This presentation explores how compelling Israeli narratives can shape opinions, change perceptions, and win hearts and minds.
