Description
They came from every corner of the world and chose to call Tel Aviv–Yafo home. They brought with them cultures, arts, fashion, music, languages, spices, and traditions, and together created a rich, colorful, and diverse human fabric.
The city that rose from the sand has, over the years, become a place of connection—between heritage and innovation, the longing to belong, local identity, and global diversity. Tel Aviv–Yafo, with its neighborhoods, voices, and aromas, continues to serve as a cultural melting pot where past and present meet.
This year, the Tel Aviv–Yafo Immigration Absorption Authority, the Business Promotion and Development Authority, and the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration invite you to celebrate Aliyah Day in Tel Aviv–Yafo with an evening of music, theater, art, creativity, and more.
Artistic direction: Dana Karni, Business Relations Manager
Production: Atalia Bachar Rikman
