There Must Be Another Way – עינייך

July 1, 2009

קישורית לשיר ‘עינייך’ (יוטיוב)
עינייך
ביצוע: אחינועם ניני ומירה עוואד
מילים ולחן: אחינועם ניני, גיל דור ומירה עוואד

There must be another,
Must be another way
עינייך אחות, כל מה שליבי מבקש אומרות.
עברנו עד כה דרך ארוכה, דרך כה קשה יד ביד
והדמעות זולגות זורמות לשווא, כאב ללא שם
אנחנו מחכות רק ליום שיבוא אחרי,
There must be another way
There must be another way

عينيك بتقول (עינייך אומרות)
راح ييجي يوم وكل الخوف يزول (יבוא היום שבו כל הפחד ייעלם)
بعينيك اصرار (בעינייך נחישות)
انه عنا خيار (שקיימת האפשרות)
نكمل هالمسار (להמשיך את הדרך)
مهما طال (כמה שתיארך)
لانه ما في عنوان وحيد للاحزان (משום שאין כתובת אחת לצער)
بنادي للمدى, للسما العنيده (אני קוראת למרחבים, לשמיים העיקשים)
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another,
Must be another way

דרך ארוכה נעבור, דרך כה קשה יחד אל האור
عينيك بتقول (עינייך אומרות)
كل الخوف يزول (כל הפחד ייעלם)
And when I cry, I cry for both of us
My pain has no name
And when I cry, I cry to the merciless sky and say:
There must be another way

והדמעות זולגות, זורמות לשווא, כאב ללא שם.
אנחנו מחכות רק ליום שיבוא אחרי,
There must be another way
There must be another way
There must be another
Must be another way

Anything You Can Imagine is Real

April 29, 2009

Spring is the loveliest season of the year. Here, in Israel this is the time of impressive lineup of holydays including Passover, Easter and Israel’s Independence Day. Besides that we celebrate 100 anniversary of Tel Aviv this year. The profuse sunshine and worm weather, along with the festive mood surrounding the season, all make it clear as day, spring is here. No doubt this is the time for travel, wonderful trips and adventure tours as well.

Israelis celebrate Independence Day with parade and grandiose air show. When I have been watched yesterday how skydiver flied like a birds over a crowd of spectators in Tel Aviv I thought that it’s really not bad idea to fly to the Edge of space in some of such super machines as legendary Israeli F 15 or Russian MiG-31 Foxhound. Definitely anything you can imagine is real and if you seek to spend your holiday not only eating and sleeping well but enjoying an adventure tour like no other you get it!

We wish you a happy holyday season and a sunshine filled spring!


Happy Passover!!!

Pesach Holidays

March 25, 2009

Do you think a life time is passing too slowly? Time like a watch is always too fast or too slow. But as to me, now I think the time life is passing too fast. Therefore one should try to make the most of today, gets interested in something he loves, shakes himself awake, developing a hobby, meeting with friends, traveling at last, letting the winds of enthusiasm sweep through.

Pesach is coming. This year, the most important Jewish holidays begin at sundown on Wednesday April 8 and ends at nightfall on Thursday April Wednesday April 15. Many people, young especially, try to use the seven days for vacations and Cuba Holidays is a winner on the way. No wonder that spending Pesach in Cuba hotels has become more and more popular in Israel. This small Caribbean country offers a wide range of services suited to any tastes and interests including cigar and golf tours, salsa trips, fly fishing, diving, birdwatching and more providing kosher restaurants, synagogues and kosher hotels to spend your holyday with a great comfort.

Tel Aviv Bauhaus Buildings

November 11, 2008

If you dont know Tel Aviv’s bauhaus buildings had been declared a World Heritage site.
Bauhaus is usually cubic, favor right angles, it has smooth facades and an open floor plan, flat roofs ,sometimes with curved balconies. So when you will come to our city you can admire Tel Aviv architectura personally. There are many such plain Minimalist style buildings in Tel Aviv especially in the center part of old town. Tel Aviv has one of the largest collection of Bauhaus Buildings in the world. Bauhaus architecture flourished in Tel Aviv in the 1930’s due in great part to the fact that 17 former Bauhaus students, worked locally as architects.

Arieh Sharon, Dov Carmi, Zeev Rechter, Pinchas Hueth, Josef Neufeld, Genia Averbuch Richard Kauffmann and Erich Mendelsohn are just some of the architects, who contributed to the local abundance of Bauhaus architecture. Sharon, (no relation to the current prime minister) was known for his cooperative workers’ dwellings in Tel Aviv, work on many of the country’s hospitals and his early beginnings in kibbutz Gan Shmuel. Averbuch is best known because in 1934, at 25, she won second prize (no first prize was given), in the competition to design Dizengoff Circle, in memory of Zina Dizengoff, Meir Dizengoff’s wife. While Mendelsohn designed the private residence of the country’s first president, Dr. Chaim Weizmann.

Between the First and Second World Wars, there was a great building momentum in Tel Aviv, because of the growing waves of immigration from Europe. Buildings that now show their age were once painted white (or beige). The city had many ‘white’ buildings, which came to be associated with the International Style (even though white exteriors are not really one its characteristics). Nevertheless, that is the source of the city’s nickname of “The White City.”

Tel Aviv has the largest number of cooperative workers’ apartments in the country. The aim was to provide residents with as much equality in living quarters. These blocks of apartments, operated almost as self-contained units. Residents had a variety of services right in the buildings, including kindergarten, post office, convenience store, laundry etc. Additionally, a plot of land was set aside, so that residents could grow their own vegetables. Having a ‘connection to the land’ was viewed as extremely important. An example of such a cooperative unit can be seen at the corner of Frishman, Dov Hoz and Frug streets. This block of buildings also served as headquarters of the Haganah.
