Zebra in the square

On a gloomy day,  I pulled my husband out of the house for this photo shoot  session, in between the drops of rain. The wintry sky ensured a gray light.

The venue of this photo shoot- Tel  Aviv’s largest public square –  has strong emotional associations in the modern Israeli  life. It is here that  Prime Minister Yitchak Rabin was assassinated in November 1995, after addressing a  massive Peace Rally  .

From this square  too, two year ago, Israel’s biggest  ever demonstration  took place, led by a group of previously unknown young people, protesting in favor of social justice.

The Tel  Aviv Marathon with thousands of runners  and participants from all over the world starts here  (including me, believe it or not, though one time only!)

Here  in front of Tel-Aviv City Hall, the annual book fair takes place. Dozens of publishing houses display their books of the passing years, offering them for sale at reduced prices. Thousands of adults, teenagers and young children browse through books and stock  up for the coming year.

In the past, the Gay parade, used to start from this place with over 10’000  participants

Can you believe that only some 60 years ago, at the time to the British mandate, this whole  vibrant Tel-Aviv square was  only an orange orchard?

Life….
