New initiative: Honoring Tel Aviv's veterans
A new initiative in Tel Aviv will honor ten of the city's veterans, aged 75 and over, who have left their mark in the fields of culture, sports, science, and education. An expert committee will select the winners, who will receive the "Golden Honorees" award at a festive ceremony in April 2027.
A first-of-its-kind initiative is underway in Tel Aviv: selecting ten "Golden Honorees" of the first Hebrew city. The joint project of the Palace Tel Aviv assisted living facility, in collaboration with historian Dr. Ilan Shchori, aims to honor women and men among the city's veterans, aged 75 and over, whose unique work has left a mark on the city and society. The awards will be given in a variety of fields: cinema and performing arts, architecture and preservation, sports and lifestyle, culinary arts and lifestyle, medicine and science, academia and education. An expert committee will gather recommendations on candidates, and the ten winners will be announced at a festive ceremony on April 14, 2027, at the Palace Tel Aviv, near the 118th anniversary of the city's founding. The initiative seeks to present inspiring figures to future generations and start an annual tradition of recognition.
