Between the shit weather and the shooting, I think it’s safe to say Tel Aviv’s not having a very good year so far, but as you probably know, this is the city that never stops. There are so many things happening this week, you probably won’t stop either. But maybe you should stop for a bit very very soon, because the big annual DIY Tel Aviv announcement is coming up (that’s right, the new edition!).

Exhibition and lecture by photographer, Udi Goren @ Pasaz from 20:00 –
“A personal crisis invoked by the 2014 war in Gaza has motivated Udi Goren, a travel photographer, to set out on a two and a half months journey through the Israel trail. The 700 miles long trek is world-renowned as one of the world’s best and toughest long distance hikes.
Join us to experience our land outside of the headlines and the friction and to hear first hand about Udi’s physical and mental journey from despair to a newly found hope.
Udi is the first professional photographer to have walked and documented the trail in it’s entirety and this would be the first time the pictures are shared publicly. Join us for the
adventure!
The talk will be in English and entrance is free of charge.”

An introduction evening for South Tel Aviv’s edible forest project.

Bar Kayma from 19:30. Free.
