RUSSIAN ROOTS OF ISRAEI STREETS

Let's travel through the distance and time visiting two countries at once - Israel and Russian Empire.
I will take you to the well-known streets in the heart of Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa to discuss the origin of their names.

Trumpeldor, Arlazorov, Sokolov, Gruzenberg, Hankin….. you find these names in almost every city in Israel, but have you ever thought why they are named this way?

Who were these people the streets are named after? Where did they come from? What is so very special about them?

We will visit Russian Empire to look at their birthplaces – small traditional shtetls and big cities of modern Ukraine, Poland, Belarus and Russia.
We will speak about their lives and ideas, about the atmosphere that surrounded and influenced them.

Jewish poets, writers, artists, political leaders, kibbutz pioneers, lawyers and many other incredible personalities will become the subjects of our tour.

Let's learn the great life stories of the Great Jews!
