In the past decade, Tel Aviv has become the premiere destination for young Jews from around the globe to move to and call ‘home.’ TLV Internationals is the lighthouse which attracts and welcomes the newcomer. TLV Internationals coalesces these young voices into a unified community & platform for action for the benefit of Tel Aviv & Israel. With a following of over 50,000 young adults, TLV Internationals has built the largest international community in Israel. www.facebook.com/TLVInternationals
Tel Aviv INSIDER is the group for any Tel Avivians to post about INSIDER events, parties, deals, opportunities, or just to connect with the wider White City community. www.facebook.com/groups/TelAvivInsider
Tel Aviv Arts Council is a community of young patrons of the arts celebrating Israeli creative culture. The Arts Council has two missions: it gives young professionals access to the best of Israeli art and culture and brings the best of Israeli art and culture to the world. The Arts Council partners with the full variety of arts organizations in Israel – from established institutions to emerging artists and art-forms. www.facebook.com/TelAvivArtsCouncil www.TelAvivArts.com
Tel Aviv International Salon is the largest English-language speakers’ forum in Israel. The Salon serves as a honest broker which brings top leaders and decision makers to speak to Tel Aviv’s community of young professionals, foreign press, and embassy staff. The Salon provides a unique opportunity to learn, debate and discuss a wide range of challenging topics, including Israeli & global politics, economics & cultural issues, since 2009. facebook.com/TelAvivInternationalSalon www.TLVSalon.com
White City Shabbat is the portal for Jewish Life in our fine White City. Ensuring that spirituality is not lost on Israel’s cultural and financial capital, the White City Shabbat website acts as a virtual matchmaker- connecting people with Shabbat hospitality each week all over the city. Bringing the concept of supra-denominational Shabbat dinner parties to a wider community, the organization hosts its own private, warm, welcoming, Shabbat meals every month. www.facebook.com/WhiteCityShabbat
Adopt-A-Safta pairs young Internationals and Israelis with lonely Holocaust survivors. Approximately 180,000 Holocaust survivors currently live in Israel with a myriad of economic and well-being issues, yet their number one complaint is simply loneliness. The project connects these two communities when a young volunteer ‘adopts’ an Israeli grandmother or grandfather. www.facebook.com/AdoptASafta www.AdoptASafta.com
Your Tel Aviv Young Jewish Communtiy
ProjecT.A. promotes empowered and informed citizenship. Together with the Municipality of Tel Aviv, ProjecT.A. provides young TLV internationals with the knowledge and resources to be mobilized and personally involved in improving the great city they call “home”. Many western Olim come from countries with a rich tradition of civic participation, and they understand that engagement on the local-level is a prerequisite to a healthy, cohesive, and vibrant society. www.facebook.com/ProjecTelAviv
