Abstract

Tel Aviv was established in 1909 by a Jewish group from Jaffa who gathered to form the ‘Ahuzat Bayit’ (literally ‘Homestead’) society. The society’s goal was to form a ‘Hebrew urban centre’, inspired by Western cities, outside Jaffa’s walls. ‘Tel Aviv’ is the Hebrew title of Theodor Herzl’s Altneuland (‘Old New Land’) translated from the German. The name was chosen in 1910 from several suggestions: it was thought fitting as it embraced the idea of a renaissance in the ancient Jewish homeland. ‘Tel’ is a man-made mountain accumulating layers of civilization built one over the other and symbolizing the ancient; and ‘Aviv’ is Hebrew for ‘spring’, symbolizing renewal. Thus in its name Tel Aviv evokes the renaissance of the Jewish people in their historical homeland. It is the first Hebrew city in the new age.
