The Polish Story of Tel Aviv – new tours in February

Following the success of the “Polish Tel Aviv” tours and the high demand, we’re pleased to schedule additional tours on Valentine’s Day. The activity presents the sites, figures, and stories that reveal the contribution of the Jewish community from Poland to the establishment of Tel Aviv and the shaping of the State of Israel in its early years.

*Update*

Both tours filled up within just a few hours! We’re grateful for the tremendous interest and apologize to those who didn’t manage to register in time. We promise to share updates soon about the tours planned in March, and anyone who would like to be the first to know is welcome to sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of our main website.

How accurate is the popular claim that Polish Jews played a key role in the building of Israel? How did this community develop, during which periods did it arrive to  Israel, and how did it maintain its ties to Polish culture?

Join historian and certified tour guide Jan Kirschenbaum for a walking tour uncovering the Polish stories hidden along Tel Aviv’s Allenby Street!

During the tour we will visit sites that once housed, among others, the legendary Neustein bookstore, the Polish–Palestinian Chamber of Commerce, and the Tel Aviv branch of PKO – the Polish National Bank.

The tour, held in Hebrew, will begin and end at 3 Rothschild Blvd., Tel Aviv. Afterwards, we will be happy to host the participants for light refreshments and hot wine at the Polish Institute.


The activity lasts about three hours, including approximately two hours of walking. Participation is free of charge, but advance registration is required. Places are limited!
