Bograshov

Typical Tel Aviv rooftops in Bograshov Street

Dr. Chaim Bograshov (1876-1963), Hebrew educator, Knesset Member and one of the founders of the Herzlia Hebrew Gymnasium [Herzliya Hebrew High School]. After World War I, he initiated the foundation of the "Nordiya" neighborhood in Tel Aviv for people in need of a home. In honor of his immense contribution to the city, the main street that crossed the neighborhood was named after him when he was still alive. In response, Bograshov, who opposed the decision, changed his family name to "Bogar".

On the left - Metsudat Zeev, or Jabotinsky House, an office tower located on King George Street, named after Zeev Jabotinsky, founder
of the Revisionist Zionism. The tower was built on the ruins of the shack that served as the Revisionists headquarters in the 30's, and was secretly also the meeting place for the IZL resistance warriors.
