Habima theatre

Tel Aviv travel guide

Habima is a theatre in Israel that is important because it is helping to revive Hebrew language and culture. The theatre is also committed to promoting issues of national importance, holding conversations with diverse communities, and fostering the next generation of theatre professionals.

History
In 1958, the Israeli government declared Habima to be Israel’s national theatre. That same year, Habima was awarded the Israel Prize for its significant contribution to Israeli culture and society. Habima began as a professional Hebrew theatre in Moscow, before immigrating to the land of Israel and eventually constructing a theatre hall in Tel Aviv. Today, around 120 of the best actors in Israel make up Habima’s remarkable company, which includes both young and veteran actors. The company is conducted by a team of creators who are at the top of their fields in Israel and around the world.

Architect Ram Karmi was chosen to redesign Habima, a historic building. He is experienced in designing many different types of buildings and won the Israel Prize. His design for Habima combined old and new elements to create a traditional yet innovative design.

Sea and Sun - Beaches of Tel Aviv

The beautiful white beaches of Tel Aviv are the city's most popular attraction and a must for any visitor. The magnificent promenade ("Tayelet" in Hebrew), with its beachfront cafes and restaurants, runs along the shore at the main hotel area, providing a great location for morning or afternoon jogging. The beaches are mostly crowded on weekends (Friday and Saturday), and are pleasantly quiet in early mornings, when the only brave swimmers are seniors working on their exercise. The seashores are dotted with kiosks just a few steps from the water, tan worshipers lying on beach-beds while others carefully sitting under parasols. While at the beach you may find yourself moving your head from the right to the left, following local pairs playing "Matkot" (Israeli beach Tennis), and on summer evenings, soon after the beautiful Mediterranean sunset, the beaches become a great location for night hang outs, you can find many beach bars, from the new and renovated Mezizim beach bar to the one North of the Marina and others along the beach.

The OCD Tel Aviv, a very exciting restaurant

The OCD Tel Aviv restaurant serves a closed menu (tasting meal) served to all diners at the same time. The seating is around a bar in front of the open kitchen so guests can watch all the work of the kitchen staff. The menu changes from time to time, built by chef Raz Rahav and influenced by culture, ingredients, history and local insolence, taking into account the availability of ingredients and the season, influences from the world and memories. We haven't yet had the chance to go there, but we hear the hype from all around us... send us some pictures. Since the meal requires a fixed menu, the diner will not be presented with one when he arrives. Join other diners in experimenting with new flavors and ingredients by coming with an open mind. Moreover, in addition to the closed menu, we offer vegetarian, kosher, vegan, and more, all according to the displayed menus. You will not be able to change the menu during the meal, so please mention it when ordering. We havn't yet had the chance to go there, but we hear the hype from all around us... send us some pictures. Address: 17 Tartza Street, Tel Aviv-Jaffa Phone: 03-556-6774
