Tu Be’Av, the 15th of Av, is the Jewish “holiday of love” and one of our favorites. It’s a matchmaking ritual and celebration of joy that began over 2500 years ago. To celebrate, maidens wore white dresses and danced in the vineyards, enticing the village bachelors. Enchanted by their grace, the men chose which maiden to take as their bride.

After going unnoticed for centuries on the Jewish calendar, the Jewish holiday of Tu Be’Av has gained popularity in recent decades. We hope that its spirit brings you good luck in love this July.

"New Painting," which challenged the conventions of conceptual and minimalistic neo-avant-garde.

Against this background, as an artist challenged by art history and theory, Abramson constructed his painting as a form of inter-era hybrid-painting; painting which, on the one hand, refers to values from the past, yet on the other hand offers an alternative system of ideas and concepts centered on the desire to rehabilitate painting as a relevant medium for the expression of the complicated reality of this place, where he lives.

Tel Aviv Museum of Art Larry Abramson: Paintings 1975–2010 A comprehensive exhibition of paintings by leading Israeli artist Larry Abramson (b. 1954). Abramson's work comprises mostly of series centered on one leading motif, e.g., The Black Square, The Yellow Square, Anatomical Paintings, Nevo, Columns, Beams, tsooba, ShalomShalom, The Pile, Rose of Jericho; and the most recent series, Yechiam, Home and Panic. Over the years, the series have accumulated more and more images and contexts that serve Abramson as linguistic units, recurring in his work to create each time new painterly sentences.

Abramson began painting in the mid-1970s, concurrently with the appearance of new artistic forms in Europe and the USA, especially

Yadid Rubin: Plowed Color Yadid Rubin's paintings offer a new syntax of landscape, which does not correspond with the concepts of subjectivity, intimacy and authenticity through which Israeli art has woven its identity. This is landscape delighting in the "decorative," the "synthetic" and the "beautiful"—terms that were unmentionable for many years in Israeli art's inner circle; these are landscape paintings in which the sense of place and its absence exist side by side, composing a new reality. The exhibition sets out Yadid Rubin's work since the late 1960s.

Alongside chapters from his early work—conceptual works and units of paintings of kibbutz life, studio interior and landscape, the exhibition includes paintings from the late 1980s until today, as a crystallized unit: landscape scenes from his life, including field, house, tree, path, horizon line and sun in countless

Grandfather Paradox Group exhibition at Chelouche Gallery for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv.

Runs until August 31 The works of Gaston Zvi Ickowicz, Guy Goldstein, Noa Giniger and Tomer Sapir, four artists who employ various media and materialistic languages, raise questions regarding the ability to think in terms of causality, linear time-line, and clear, unequivocal reality. Through acts of dismantling, blurring, imitating and distorting, the works challenge the possibility of continuous coherent presence. These actions and the discussion in terms that suit the fragmented present are an essential starting point in comprehending how one can resist the hegemonic narrative and the “official story”.

Take a piece of Jerusalem with you

The Moriah Collection Magnificent jewelry set with original stones from the Temple Mount

Jerusalem, sacred to three religions, has always been the center and heart of the Jewish people and the focus of their longings in exile. Its glorious past, its tumultuous history and its supreme sanctity make Jerusalem a spiritual center worldwide.

Inspired by the city and its symbolism, the IDC (Israel Diamond Center) group, specializing in design, manufacture and trade in precious jewelry and diamonds, is launching a collection of opulent jewelry inlaid with original stones from the Temple Mount - the Moriah Collection. This collection is the first of its kind in the world with a registered patent, since the jewelry is inlaid with original stones from the Temple Mount.

"Take a piece of Jerusalem with you" - the slogan that accompanies the Moriah collection expresses the fact that anyone, whoever they may be, can take a ‘piece’ of Jerusalem, the holy and eternal city, and place it on their heart.

Each item of jewelry in the Moriah collection is designed and made by hand, projecting a potent message through the unique combination of materials that represent the power, the value and the sanctity of Jerusalem: diamonds - the hardest and most precious stone in the world, gold - the noblest of metals, and Jerusalem stone from the Temple Mount - the holiest place in the world for more than 3000 years.

IDC's jewelry designers have retained the raw integrity of each stone from the Temple Mount in order to preserve its originality, suffused with sanctity and symbolism. The Moriah collection is made up of items in a limited series, the number of items in each series being around 7, a number of special significance in Judaism.

The name Moriah, chosen for the new collection, refers to Mount Moriah where Abraham bound his son Isaac for sacrifice - which is the Temple Mount on which the temple was built in Jerusalem and from which the stones in the jewelry were taken.

A few years ago, the Waqf carried out expansion work on the Temple Mount

20 hello ISRAEL

and a large quantity of excavated material was removed. In 2004 a tent was set up in Emek Tzurim, at the foot of the Mount of Olives, in which to sift through the excavated material from the Temple Mount. From this came dozens of coins, pieces of jewelry, clay lamps, mosaic stones, pottery shards, glass and stones from the Temple Mount from which the Moriah collection was made.

Each piece of jewelry sold at IDC carries an international gemology certificate from leading global institutions such as IGC, EGL, GIA, and so on, and buyers receive full and accurate documentation for every

diamond purchased.

The IDC customer base mainly comprises buyers from abroad, especially from the countries of the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe, as well as tourists from western Europe, the United States and the Far East. The showroom is set up accordingly, with sales people who speak a number of different languages.

The company has a Russian language website, and will shortly be putting up websites in additional languages. The website is popular among existing customers, who use it to place repeat orders. Along with the launch of the Moriah collection, there is also a designated website for the collection at: www.moriah-collection.com Avi Tavisal, CEO of IDC, says that “as a native Jerusalemite, eighth

generation in Israel, the Moriah collection is very special for me because it represents an emotional combination of materials, design and art. The pieces of jewelry arouse a sense of spiritual elation in every viewer." Tavisal adds that "even before launching the collection list, we were asked to design individual pieces of jewelry created especially as gifts for world leaders and personalities."

Plans are currently underway between IDC and the Ir David (City of David) tourist site in Jerusalem for designated items of jewelry from the Moriah collection to be designed

for Ir David, incorporating design elements relating to David's city such as David’s harp, the king's palace, and so on.

The Moriah collection has been designed and produced by IDC under the Tavisal label, combining new and old, art and advanced technology in the design and manufacture of luxury jewelry.

The Moriah collection can be found at IDC House, 1 Jabotinsky St, Ramat Gan, and in the Gold Time chain in Jerusalem in King George Street and the Jerusalem Mall, Malcha, or in the Rolex store in Mamilla.

Olive Leaf - A Kosher Restaurant at the Sheraton Tel Aviv The Sheraton Tel Aviv Hotel and Towers has reinvigorated its food and beverage concepts with the introduction of OLIVE LEAF, the hotel’s signature restaurant.

Contemporary, fresh with panoramic sea views, OLIVE LEAF serves a Mediterranean cuisine which dances between the traditional and the innovative.

Both laid back and luxurious the OLIVE LEAF, inside and on its own private terrace, is attractively furnished.

Comfortable tables and chairs especially designed for the restaurant are made of olive wood richly veneered to show the wood’s natural veins and inlaid with ceramic with the olive leaf motif. Fabrics of blue, green and yellow reflect the Mediterranean orchards, sea, sky and sun.

In the Olive Leaf, a talented team under the direction of the hotel’s executive Chef, Charlie Fadida has replaced traditional rich cream based sauces with olive oil and fresh herbs in keeping with a contemporary kosher restaurant. The simplicity and intense flavoring, of the dishes, the use of seasonal market- fresh local products and the harvest of the olive tree and fruit with which the region is so richly endowed, combine to produce a Mediterranean cuisine that “not only tastes good but is actually good for you too. A winning combination “comments General Manager, Jean-Louis Ripoche.

There is an adjacent private dining room, Olive Room, for up to twenty guests.

The Container''s extensive art program features national and international artists that have been invited to make site specific works for the space. The Main Space gallery of The Container is an industrial warehouse space.

Not a museum or a sterile gallery space, the art is in competition with its environment at The Container, it needs to find its own and excel within the dynamic platform. And no space is wasted at The Container.

The restrooms have been utilized for a project space named Public Life.

This is a space for younger artists, or those with a sense of humour and fun, who are interested in sharing their works in a mini project space at a time when our clients are alone.
