2008-06-03 09:34:00
CHICAGO ? It has been a banner year so far for the Israeli film industry. Following the American debuts of ?The Band?s Visit? and ?Beaufort,? we now have the stunningly composed and heart-rending ?Jellyfish?. Unwinding like a Tel Aviv version of Paul Thomas Anderson?s ?Magnolia? ? but warmer ? ?Jellyfish? follows several lives steeped in moral crisis and offers redemption like an elusive brass ring. Read Patrick McDonald?s full review of ?Jellyfish? in our reviews section.View our full ?Jellyfish? image gallery. An underachieving wedding waitress with career and mother issues searches for answers while staring at the sea. An unusual 5-year-old child approaches her in a bathing suit and life-preserver ring.

2008-05-17 06:41:00
Israel’s military intelligence has projected that Hamas would be capable of producing missiles with a range of up to 50 kilometers.

Renault?s electric car debuts in Tel Aviv
2008-05-12 00:39:00
It could be the quickest vehicles to go from concept to a public, drivable prototype in automotive history. As previewed, "Israelis got a first demonstration Sunday of the electric car that developers hope will revolutionize transportation in the country and serve as a pilot for the rest of the world," began the report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. A parking lot in Tel Aviv hosted the demonstration of the Project Better Place/Renault collaboration. Acceleration was said to be impressive and the silent drive familiar to proponents of electric vehicles was noted in the silver, normal looking sedan. The car is expected to have a range of 125 miles, more than sufficient for most drivers in a nation that's no more than 60 miles wide and 260 long. Haaretz reports that several hundred cars will begin appearing on Israel roads in 2009, with sales to begin in late 2010. [Haaretz]

Shai Agassi to drive Project Better Place prototype on Sunday in Tel Aviv
2008-05-11 01:25:00
One of the launching points for Shai Agassi's Project Better Place is in Israel and it looks like the first tangible progress might be demonstrated this weekend. The CEO of PBP is planning to drive a prototype electric car that is being developed at around noon on Sunday at the Fairgrounds and Conference Center in Tel Aviv Israel. Agassi will apparently provide an update on the status of the project to develop both electric cars and a charging infrastructure. Israel is just one of a number of countries to express interest in the program. According to Israeli President Shimon Peres, the hope is to have electric vehicles on the road in Israel by 2010. If any readers happen to be in Tel Aviv on Sunday and catch this send us a report.[Source: Jerusalem Post, thanks to Vince for the tip]
Lebanese minister: Hizbullah believes way to Tel Aviv passes through Beirut
2008-05-10 13:38:00
"Iran is responsible for what is happening in Lebanon. The subject now is the Iranian attack on Lebanon. They want us to surrender totally without any compensation," Lebanese Sports Minister Ahmed Fatfat said Friday during an interview with the Al-Arabiya television network Friday amid reports that Hizbullah gunmen seized control of large parts of Beirut."Hizbullah has turned from an opposition party into a militia attempting to impose its control. I think Hizbullah believes that the way to Tel Aviv passes through Beirut," he said. Fatfat said Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah had "taken advantage of the government's decision to outlaw the (Shiite) group's communications network in order to declare war." More...

Developers target Tel Aviv area for more office space
2008-05-03 09:08:00
During the past year there has been a flurry of activity in office real estate. Many developers are starting new projects or busily finishing others. In the Azrieli compound, the new square tower, the last of a trio, is going up. A 70-story office/residential tower is planned where the Elite factory used to be, while more high-rise buildings are being built, or being planned, along the Ayalon highway in the Petah Tikva Industrial Zone and in the Herzliya hi-tech industrial area.But despite the flurry of activity experts believe that by the end of the year there will be a shortage of 400,000 meters of office space in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Tel Aviv Joins Earth Hour Project: The Green Trend in the Eyes of Future St
2008-03-27 21:54:00
The city of Tel Aviv joined the ?Earth Hour? project today with a one hour ?lights off? between 8:00-9:00 pm. The municipal building and towers around the city coordinated a live TV broadcasted ?lights off? which has definitely left an impression.At first I adopted a very cynical attitude towards this initiative (which was even sponsored by corporations branding themselves ?green? but in reality have a long way to go). However, I quickly changed my mind as I witnessed the effect it had on awareness.Rationally speaking one hour of darkness has no real affect what so ever. Furthermore, it may also be used as a distraction from the real environmental issues at hand which require an attention span of more than one hour and a lot more money. Marketing, however, is a whole different story. Going green has definitely become a major trend.Trends have their life spans. The green trend will soon finish its hype phase and will hopefully lead to the next step which is usually comprised of hundr...

I think you have heard that Sen. McCain is going to visit Tel Aviv soon, oh yes the republican candidate is going to visit Israel just months before the final elections. He is going to Israel as if it were another state in the United States he needs to win its voters , well technically there is something right in these words , Israel is the 51st state !! We all know about how influence the Jewish lobby in America despite the fact the Jewish vote percentage in the American elections is not that big as the Jewish population in the United States is only 1.4% from the total American population but again who owns the media ,the biggest weapon in the elections !!?? McCain since last year was the favourite republican candidate from the Israeli point view , after all he is the son of an old friend of Israel , McCain SR was a close friend to Israel who helped the Hebrew state to escape from the USS Liberty curse in 1967 , our dear USS Liberty which was hit by IAF . Last month Sen.Liber...
Israel real estate stocks hit 2 year low as credit crisis reaches Tel Aviv
2008-03-15 05:09:00
The crisis has not ignored Tel Aviv. After chasing real estate stocks blindly in expectation that the party would never end, investors are now scared. The fall of developer Heftsiba last August, and the financial chaos in its wake, had its effect. True, in the real estate sector they never stopped trying to convince us that Heftsiba was a one-off, specific problem - mostly criminal and not economic. But it certainly should have set off a warning light. The Israel Real Estate 15 is now 46% below its record high of last May. Many of the index's firms are now trading at a value below its shareholder equity.

U.S. Haredim investing heavily in Tel Aviv real estate
2008-03-01 10:28:00
Tel Aviv Real estate may turn into a bigger market than New York for ultra-Orthodox businessmen seeking capital. This week Tel Aviv investors learned of another bond offering here, of up to NIS 200 million, by Abraham Leser, owner of a real estate group. His associates are quick to distance him from another ultra-Orthodox real estate tycoon: Shaya Boymelgreen. "He isn't like him at all, not colorful and not embroiled [in disputes] like him. He has no ego," said one of his friends.

Delek Real Estate buys Tel Aviv and Haifa properties

DMR Properties (1995) Ltd., bought a five dunam (1.25-acre) lot on Hamasger Street in Tel Aviv for NIS 64 million. Vitania and DMR will own the lot in equal shares. The lot is zoned for an 18,000-square meter gross space office building. The companies plan to demolish the buildings occupying the site and build the office building. Delek Auto's board has authorized DMR to extend to Vitania a NIS 32 million five-year loan at Prime + 1% interest to buy its share of the lot.
Global avalanche hits Tel Aviv
2008-01-24 08:58:00
The Tel Aviv Real Estate 15 Index lost a further 1.23% today, a decline which now leaves it 40% adrift of the high it reached in May 2007. Much has been written about this sector in the past year but as the new year begins, the performance by real estate stocks can be summed up in one word - a bubble. This, however, does not contradict the fact that the current slump in share prices in this sector will probably create quite a few buying opportunities in the future. But that is how it works on the market.
Video: Tel Aviv To Become Electric Car Heaven
2008-01-18 05:28:00
It looks as if Israel's largest city after Jerusalem is going to be embracing a cleaner future by helping to promote the use of electric cars.(Globes Online) The Tel Aviv Municipality is joining Shai Agassi's electric car venture, Project Better Place. Deputy Mayor Pe'er Wisner said today that municipality had undertaken to launch a pilot scheme with charging points for electric cars, whose production has not yet begun, to be set up across the city. Five charging points will be built initially, and once the project is completed there will be 150 points in city car parks, outside public buildings, and on city streets. Under the plan, battery replacement points will be located at the city's entrances. ...Wisner called city residents to close their eyes and imagine how quiet the bustling Ibn Gvirol Street would become once electric cars were on the city's streets.(Video: Project Better Place making its point via kids)Israel is already encouraging its citizens to use environmenta...

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization (or UNESCO for short) has hailed Tel Aviv as a World Cultural Heritage site due the fact of its many impressive modern buildings.(Israel Times) Tel Aviv offers the world's largest concentration of buildings in the international style and unique architectural gems.European artists fleeing Nazi Germany in the 1930s sprayed the Bauhaus architectural style. The White City is located in the heart of Tel Aviv, along Rothschild Boulevard around Dizengoff Circle and on Bialik Street.

Some are going to Tel Aviv, like Beef Bagel (yes, I'm jealous)--and apparently many others because the tourist bureau from Tel Aviv posted some travel information on the Bigsoccer Spurs board, but I, however, will not be in attendance. At the moment, I am desperately trying to find a way to watch the match--I signed up for the Setanta last weekend but I have yet to get the fucking thing to work, and of course my pleas for help have been ignored. Luckily our match with Wigan this weekend is on the tele, otherwise I might loose my mind. Matchcast on ESPNsoccernet is just so agonizingly slow, and anti-climactic, but G-d love them for trying...I have yet to experiment with the various free live streams I see advertised because I am afraid that they will kill my computer--and thus my thesis to which I have devoted countless (literally) hours.On to the match: [Pauses, tries in vain to get Setanta broadband to work, fails again, considers legal action, curses miserable life, laments the w...
The Tel Aviv Test
2007-11-07 18:36:00
Today both The Bagel and the Tottenham Hotspur team will be flying out to Tel Aviv - separately unfortunately, for them. While Spurs have chartered one of Ryan Air’s Twin Otter aircraft with buy it yourself cardboard snacks and seats next to the rear gunner, I shall be traveling in the relative luxury of a British Airways flight, washing down as much free food as possible with mini after mini of red-wine-for-one in front of whatever motion pictures I have at my eyeballs and fingertips. I don’t remember the last time I flew non-budget. It’s amazing how excited you can get about normal economy class. Of course none of this would be possible without my father, the Pita Bread, who bank rolled my European away day and didn’t so much as bat an eyelid when his previously rejected offer to come out and visit him in Israel was reversed the minute I realised we’d drawn Hapoel. Cheers dad. What I’m almost looking forward to as much as the flight and the gam...

Tel Aviv Bauhaus - The White City - Bauhaus Beauty
2007-11-04 09:26:00
History bestowed upon Tel Aviv unique architectural gems, first and foremost, the world’s largest concentration of buildings in the international style. It all started in the mid -1920s, when the cheeky “teenaged” city began to signal that it was already grown up and starting to be a metropolis. What was missing, through city officials, was a unified architectural style ? so they decided to build a new quarter using Bauhaus design principles. The decision did not come out of the blue: Starting in the early 1930s, Tel Aviv became home to numerous graduates of Europe’s top architectural schools, who drew their inspiration from the Modernist movement in architecture, primly from the Bauhaus school of art and architecture in Berlin. Characteristics of the international style include asymmetric composition, minimalism and elimination of decorative elements that do not serve a useful purpose. Interior design is simple and functional, flat roofs allow for the garden...
