miami friends of the tel aviv
centennial celebration

On October 25, the Miami Friends of the Tel Aviv Centennial gathered under the leadership of Chairwoman Lin Arison and Co-Chairwomen Fanny Haim and Karen Marcus to celebrate the Tel Aviv centennial through a day-long program in Miami.

The program included a moving performance by the New World Symphony conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami - Dade, the unveiling of the Tel Aviv 100 multimedia exhibit on the city of Tel Aviv that was open to the public for 3 days in the Design District, and an intimate reception and dinner with Ron Huldai, the mayor of Tel Aviv.

As a gift to Tel Aviv for its 100th birthday, the Miami friends will establish a pre-kindergarten that will impact the fabric of an entire neighborhood and help build an educational foundation for the next century ahead.

The new pre-kindergarten will educate and nurture 70 children and will be built in the Neve Ofer neighborhood, one of Tel Aviv’s poorest.
