A7 Radio's "Welcome to the Tribe" with Gabriella Licsko

Where can you find the settlement of Ahuzat Bayit in Israel today? When was it established? It was established 102 years ago, but re-named to Tel-Aviv the following year.

Tel-Aviv was built on sand dunes, but turned into a metropolis and the center of an entire metropolitan area.

Named after Theodor Herzl`s "Altneuland " it became a "new Jewish " city, and a city with many faces.

Learn about the establishment of Tel-Aviv, and the reason for its name. Learn about the religious communities in this so-called secular city. Become familiar with the cultural differences between north and south Tel-Aviv. Explore the most wanted areas and the less fortunate areas. Find the answer to why so many skyscrapers are being built today in the city. 

Many people love Tel-Aviv and many do not. But get to know it a bit, it`s for sure worthwhile!
