Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday, February 10th, 2015. Accompanied by Dr. Landau, Minister of Tourism in Israel, the CEO of EL AL Airlines and the founder of Magdala, Fr Juan Solana LC, the 21st International Tourist Fair was inaugurated at the Israeli Trade Center in Tel Aviv.

During the opening, the Tourist Minister thanked all who participated in this event where more than 20,000 professionals, tourist agents and locals attended. As well, he welcomed the Mexican priest, Fr Juan Solana LC, as spokesman on behalf of Magdala, new tourist, cultural and religious center in northern Israel.

The tourist complex, Magdala, is located on the West shore of the Sea of Galilee and was inaugurated on May of 2014. Since then it has received more than 30,000 visitors from over the world, mainly from: USA, Canada, Mexico, Spain, Italy and Russia. The innovative project consists of an Archaeological Park and DUC IN ALTUM, prayer and worship center. A second phase is being constructed; it consists of a Hotel for 300 people and Restaurant for capacity up to 900 people. When the project finishes will offer more than 1000 jobs in the Galilee region.

Magdala is known as the crossroads of Jewish and Christian history, since the archaeological discoveries allow an encounter of two of the main religions on earth. The archaeological findings are dated to the First Century, Second Temple times and Jesus Public Ministry as well.

The Magdala founder, Fr Juan María Solana said: "It's an honor to be part of such an important event for the global tourism and cultures. I invite all who haven't been to The Holy Land, to come and the ones who already visited, to come back. It's an experience that not even money can buy".

The cultural, tourist and religious development of Magdala, expects to host more than 250,000 people at the beginning of 2016, being one of the most visited places by pilgrims and tourists in Galilee.

The Dan Gallery is proud and delighted to invite you to the exhibition:

"The Party"
The sculptures of Yosl Bergner

Excerpt from the text by Gideon Ofrat:

"It is as if, Bergner has united more than 60 years of painting.
He painted the klezmers in Australia in the 1940s
(before returning to them in the 1990s).
The kite-flyers and the masks are from the 1950s; while the clowns,
the butterflies, the wooden horse and others were painted in the 1960s-70s.
Together, these party guests compose a self/soul-portrait of this important Jewish artist."

Opening: Thursday, July 11th 2013, at 8.30p.m.
Mané-Katz Museum, Haifa
In the presence of Mr. Yona Yahav, Mayor of Haifa
