Tel Aviv 100 - Photograph
100 years ago today a lottery for lots was held on the sand dunes of the Tel Aviv seashore and the first Hebrew City was founded. To commerate the occasion the descendents of the original 66 founding families gathered at the newly renovated "Mitham Ha Tachana" complex for a reenactment of the lottery and a new photograph.
The names of the founding families were drawn from a hat just as they were 100 years ago but this time the descendents cheered as their family names were drawn. Over 150 members of Chelouche family were present along with representatives other well known Tel Aviv founding families.
Panoramic and aerial photographs were taken of the about 2,000 people present. See if you can find T in Tel Aviv (hint: red jacket, white t shirt, black sunglasses!)
