Secret Tel Aviv Newsletter – DLD Tel Aviv Special

10th September to 18th September 2014 

Shalom Tel Aviv!

What a crazy few weeks we have ahead of us!  Starting on Sunday we have the weeklong hi-tech carnival that is DLD Tel Aviv. This beautiful mish-mash of events includes the DLD Tel Aviv itself, Cities Summit Tel Aviv, and happenings across the City!

In two weeks it is Rosh Hashanah – we have details of two communal dinners below in the Secret Tel Aviv Tickets section. For a full list of International friendly synagogues for the chagim click here (thanks Deborah Danan).

Also in the tickets section, we have details of concerts by some of Israel’s top performers, including HaDag Nahash on Thursday night, Balkan Beat Box on 20/9, and Rock in the Afternoon on 26/9.

Oh, and of course we have all our regular weekly events – including Tel Aviv’s Beer Festival, a huge party at Rothschild 12 on Friday, Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett performing this week, and a midnight naked swim on Tuesday!
