About Tel Aviv

The Tel Aviv-Jaffa area has the largest concentration of Jewish people in the world. This sprawling energetic city is in many ways the “gateway” to Israel.

Since the days when ancient Jaffa was Jerusalem’s main port and the materials for the First Temple were brought through here, this city has traditionally been the point of entry to the rest of the Land. Today, Tel Aviv is the financial, commercial, military and cultural center of Israel.
