Tel Aviv 100 - The Centennial Celebration

April 2009 will mark the 100^th anniversary of the city of Tel Aviv.  Tel Aviv is the economic, cultural and academic capital of Israel. The city will celebrate this milestone with worldwide events reflecting Tel Aviv’s unique place in the history of the Jewish people, as the first Hebrew city established in more than 3000 years and the manifestation of the modern Zionist dream.

The Tel Aviv Centennial is meant both to underscore Tel Aviv’s status as an international city and to highlight it’s vitality and accomplishments.

The Tel Aviv Foundation, a partner of the city of Tel Aviv, has and continues to play a key role in the development and future of the city.  For 30 years, the Foundation has addressed the needs of the underprivileged through projects tailored to improve education, social service and the environment.  The Foundation will lead the centennial activities in the United States as well as in other countries and is working to create an exciting program of activities that will showcase Tel Aviv to cities around the world.
