Things to do in Tel Aviv 15-21/5/16

DIY-events1-185x185

The Tel Aviv municipality is being a dick to the Pasaz again, it seems. Supposedly it will reopen later in the week, but if you’re headed over there for something, have a backup plan or keen an eye out for last minute changes of venue. Otherwise, this week features the return of Trenda, the charity designer fashion market as well as the Doc Aviv and Yearot Menashe festivals, among other awesomeness.
