A group tour created by the Mikhail Kozhukhov Travel Club together with Israel2Go.
According to local resident Boris, Tel Aviv is like a giant battery that charges everyone with positive energy. Only here can you find yourself stuck in traffic in the middle of the night, see mothers strolling along the seafront with baby carriages at the same hour, and watch eighty-year-old men and women jogging along the promenade side by side with students. During the February holidays, we will discover this true “city of the young and beautiful.”
We will take part in a traditional Shabbat gathering within a Messianic Jewish community, learn to cook traditional dishes under the guidance of Maria Pisanets, explore Jerusalem through conversations with local residents, meet musicians, browse vinyl record stores, and much more — all in the company of writer and musician Oleg Nesterov. Young and beautiful, just like you.
Young, vibrant Tel Aviv will reveal whatever we wish to discover. But no one can truly understand a city without tasting its everyday food. We will visit the market, buy fresh ingredients, and then cook them in either Jewish or Arab style in the kitchen of a local restaurant. And of course, we will go out to sea with fishermen, then prepare and enjoy everything we catch.
A city also cannot be understood without human connection. We will visit an Arab family for traditional tea, then stop by a “House of Jewish-Arab Friendship.” We will meet a community of Jews who practice Judaism while believing in Jesus Christ, Russian Protestants, and Orthodox Arabs.
And naturally, there will be museums — where we will meet artists and sculptors whose works are exhibited there.
Musicians, vinyl record shops, theater rehearsals, and conversations with actors await us as well.
And of course — nightlife. Tel Aviv would not be Tel Aviv without it.
Tel Aviv is a city of the young and beautiful.
And so are we.
