台拉維夫100週年慶

你說巧不巧，我來的時候剛好慶祝台拉維夫100週年慶。猶太人從1909年開始正式在台拉維夫落腳。一些歷史:

In 1906, a group of Jews, among them residents of Jaffa, banded together to build a new garden suburb on the outskirts of Jaffa. The goal of the Ahuzat Bayit (lit. "homestead") society was to build a "Hebrew urban centre in a healthy environment, planned according to the rules of aesthetics and modern hygiene". In 1908, the group purchased 5 hectares (12 acres) of dunes northeast of Jaffa which were divided into 60 plots. Meir Dizengoff, who later became Tel Aviv's first mayor, was a member of Ahuzat Bayit. His vision for Tel Aviv involved peaceful co-existence with the Arabs.

Another housing society, Nahalat Binyamin, began to build on April 11, 1909, after holding a lottery to divide up the land. Within a year, Herzl, Ahad Ha'am, Yehuda Halevi, Lilienblum, and Rothschild streets were built; a water system was installed; and 66 houses (including some on six subdivided plots) were completed. At the end of Herzl Street, a plot was allocated for a new building for the Herzliya Hebrew High School, founded in Jaffa in 1906. On May 21, 1910, the name Tel Aviv was adopted. Tel Aviv was planned as a European-style garden suburb of Jaffa, with wide streets and boulevards.

昨天晚上正式開始慶祝，有許多以色列的藝人上台唱歌，一開始還有國際知名的指揮家 Zubin Mehta 帶領的以色列交響樂團演奏古典音樂。最後，就是DJ放音樂大家在街上狂歡。我平常是不參加這種活動的，我從沒跨過年就是一個很好的例子，但是想說這一次不去會很可惜!
