Chag Sameach Tel Aviv!

Another week, another Chag! This time the beautiful Sukkot, a seven-day festival of eating fruit, spending time with nature, and hanging out with friends and family!

There are loads of amazing highlights this week, including:

  • The T-Market t-shirt fair over the weekend – replenish your wardrobe for winter
