How it all began...
On April 11, 1909 several dozen Jewish families gathered by the sand dunes outside Jaffa to allocate plots of land for a new neighborhood they called Ahuzat Bayit, later known as Tel Aviv. As the families could not decide how to allocate the land, a lottery was held, to ensure a fair division. Akiva Weiss, chairman of the lottery committee, gathered 60 grey seashells and 60 white seashells, he wrote the names of participants on the white shells and the plot numbers on the grey shells. Weiss paired a white and grey shell, assigning each family with a plot, and thus Tel Aviv’s founding families began building the first modern, Hebrew city.
