Light Show ON Bialik House - TLV

Menorah projected in a light show at Biyalik house, Tel Aviv (9-Dec-'15)

Hanukkah is one of the most celebrated holidays in Israel. The children are on vacation from school. Sufganiot (essentially stuffed doughnuts) are the sin food of choice. Music and shows (mostly for children) are put on celebrating in many styles the holiday of lights (musicals to puppets to drama). Last night, the city of Tel Aviv put on a projected light show on the Hayim Nachman Bialik house. This historic house, renovated to original grandeur, was the actual home of the Jewish people's first "national poet" - essentially giving the writer and poet an honorary position after the founding of the state. Bialik street has gone through an amazing renovation phase, today looking very much like the 1920s to 1940s when it was built and a center of Jewish culture. Bialik street is a short, but situated in south Tel Aviv which is going through a major renovation phase. Pictures from the work being done will follow. More pictures of the light show to follow (also look for my Facebook and Twitter posts).
