Tel Aviv and New York

State Medal, 1991

Much in common with Tel Aviv and New York. The bustle, the special smell, the colorfulness, the entertainment, the fashion, the cultural centers and more. The connection between the cities has existed for over 85 years. Even in the years when a handful of Jews dreamed of establishing a glorious Hebrew neighborhood, they imagined Tel Aviv developing as the New York of Eretz Israel. Akiva Aryeh Weiss, who headed the group that initiated the establishment of Tel Aviv, even then, in a pamphlet he wrote, compared Tel Aviv to New York. Since the first comparison between Tel Aviv and New York at the turn of the century, New York has left its mark on Tel Aviv city life on many and varied levels, mainly in imitating art and entertainment culture, but also in building, commercial and economic styles.
