Drawing Sessions in the North

For another day i went to the North,
together with my friends Sabine, Doron and Amir.
Our first stop took us to Nahariya.

“In the years 1934/35 Nahariya was founded as an agricultural village by a company limited by shares and headed by the agronomist Dr. Selig Eugen Soskin (1873-1959), the civil engineer Joseph Loewy (1885-1949), the financial expert Heinrich Cohn (1895-1976) and the engineer Simon Reich (1883-1941). The company acquired an area of land by purchase from the Arab landowner family Toueini. After ameliorisation and parcelling the plots have been offered to new German Jewish immigrants who had escaped from Nazi persecution. The first two families permanently settled in Nahariya on February 10, 1935, which is now considered the official founding date of Nahariya.^[5] After an accumulation of economic, financial and climatic problems the residents soon realized that agriculture was impractical and chose to focus on tourism, taking advantage of the natural surroundings and beaches. During the British Mandate of Palestine, many British officers coming from Khartoum stopped in Nahariya.”

We meet Itschak De Lange in his Studio and his Gallery “The Edge”.

As a Second Stop we followed the Invitation of Eliya Beany in

“Kafr Yasif (Hebrew: כַּפְר יָסִיף; Arabic: كفر ياسيف‎‎, Kufr Yaseef) is an Arab town in the North District of Israel. It is located 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) northeast of the city of Acre and adjacent to Abu Sinan. The population of Kafr Yasif is largely Christian (57%) with a significant Muslim minority (40%), and a small Druze community.” (Text Wikipedia)

Eliya is engaged in the Museum of the IBDAA (Association for Developing and Encouraging Visual Arts in the Arab Society).
