The Mythography of Tel Aviv - w/ Eng Subtitles

Tel Aviv, the first Hebrew city, is quoted in mythological scriptures as having been, "...built on a deserted piece of land in the sand dunes north of Jaffa." Originally founded by 60 families as a small neighborhood known as "Achuzat habaiyt" in 1909, Tel Aviv has proven its ability to constantly reinvent itself, despite its place in the periphery. Our main foci are vision, myths and culture -- all of which fueled Tel Aviv's development. These topics are recited and untangled by Maoz Azaryahu, well-known author, historian and expert on Tel Aviv.

great clip and for someone who lived once - and for a very long time - in this great city, i particularly enjoyed the vintage imagery, but would have enjoyed longer video clips... Maoz, you neglected to name the brothers Dotan - Dani & Uri, when mentioning the re-invention of TA in the early 80s.. hope you're well - "Bryzysinski"
