shiputzim


I’ve learnt a new Hebrew word which is all around me here in Tel Aviv -shiputzim - renovations, improvements, work in progress. It seems everyone is talking about doing a “shiputz”! and how exciting that is. Yesterday we had a wonderful day walking around the “old” Tel Aviv - with our dear friends . Ilan is an architect and seems to know the history of each building and Orna, the history of every street including the person after whom they are named. All the old “International Style” buildings , either lovingly restored or still in their original rather dilapidated states-I loved them all! And the vibrancy and life felt in these streets of Tel Aviv - they have filled a little corner in my heart!
