Talkback
Title:Tel-Aviv nightlife -bohemia?
Name:HAL
City: State: IL.
Historical nostalgic flashback to the 1950`s is very interesting . But at the same time olim were arriving from the west voluntarily to " build up the country"
They lived in the most harshest of conditions -heat - exhaustion from long hours of hard work ,
bed bugs and seaweed mattresses.
The Israeli Elite sent their kids to the west to become lawyers etc ,and Tel-Aviv`s bohemia danced .
This was the face of Israel in the 50`s.
Never mind Tel-Aviv-photo the periphery that gave Israel what it is today-a small country not just a strip of coastal city .
