Tel Aviv – Shenkin Region
There are many parts of an Israel trip that will make it memorable for years to come for you and your family. Jewish Israel can be enjoyed in Tel Aviv, the coastal city of the country, also known as Israel Aviv. Be sure to visit Tel Aviv Museum and walk down Shenkin Street, located in the central area of the city. The Tel Aviv Museum is in the Shenkin region of the city. It was established back in 1932 and is the largest museum in Israel Aviv, and even all of Israel! It focuses on depicting the history, art and culture of the ancient country and surrounding regions. Renowned artists like Van Gogh, Matisse and Picasso all have their pieces featured in Tel Aviv Museum. An Israel trip is truly not complete without a visit to this culturally and historically wonderful location.
A lesser-known fact is that Tel Aviv was founded as an all-Jewish city. Because of this, there are many influential Jewish Israel sites for both worshippers and tourists to enjoy. Get a good look at sites that include ancient synagogues still open for worship, museums that depict the Jewish history of the area and beautiful city streets. Images of all these can be found in the “Jewish” section under “Religions.”
A walk down Shenkin Street is a necessity for anyone on an Israel trip, and can make for a wonderful afternoon or evening in Israel Aviv’s central area. This street is known as Tel Aviv’s most lively streets full of cafés, small designer shops and many fascinating people and tourists. A view of the happening crowd that frequents this stretch of pavement is a fascinating insight into the modern world of Israel, quite a contrast to the Jewish Israel aforementioned. For the most crowded and fascinating experience, traverse this Tel Aviv street on a Friday, but if you want to ease yourself into the scene, try a weekday night. For a fun, free afternoon or evening, listen to free tunes at a music store along the strip or relax in a charming Shenkin garden across the street.
Tel Aviv’s central Shenkin region is one that every Israel trip should include. Soak up the culture, art and religion of the city within this single location. Be sure to take a look at the photos depicting the areas of Tel Aviv so you know what to expect before you make your reservations.
