Brutalist is the name of the style of architecture

[@shainazion4073]

Brutalist is a 20th century style of Architecture that is modern and industrial that emerged in the 1950s, in the UK as post-war construction. Brutalist Architecture is characterised by minimalism and showcases the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design. In Russia, *a khrushchevka* is the type of low cost, concrete-paneled or brick three to five storied apartment building which was developed in the Soviet Union during the 1960s. The khrushchevka design was an early attempt at industrialised and prefabricated buildings with elements made at concrete plants and trucked to sites as needed.

Ah, memories! Brutalist architecture! The Central Bus Station in the mornings on Yom Shishi is pumping, its like Little Manilla! Thanks for another great video, Tal and Moshe! Definitely check out the Sudanese restaurant another time for us!

[@Rojomanzana438]

I remember getting lost in that bus station as a young soldier....

[@TheTravelingClatt]

Not a fun experience

[@israeltavor6874]

I remember getting lost there ... everytime I go there

[@NaProbablyNot]

That looks like paradise compared to many areas in Los Angeles.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

This is true

[@rajm2626]

The built environment in the US is universally ugly.

[@christofferraby4712]

Toda Rabah Tal! I really appreciate the variety of videos you create. It is great to see content of everyday Israeli lives.

[@leongreen5332]

The old bus station was total chaos but amazing. My father, RIP, loved that place.

[@TheTravelingClatt]

It's a crazzzzzy place

[@leongreen5332]

Tal, you must be too young to remember it. But perhaps your parents do. It was an adventure in itself. Actually I haven't been to Israel for about 20 years, but the last time I was there was there there were still some remnants. The newer bus station was beyond soulless.

[@salampakistan3691]

​@@leongreen5332 Then what happened to it. Do they have better train or bus stations???

[@leongreen5332]

@salampakistan3691 I can't say whether better or worse. Just uglier and more soulless.

[@BobvanT]

It’s all part of a big and bustling city - thanks for the walk round !

[@VB_Indiana]

Do you mean Brutalist architectural design?

[@TheTravelingClatt]

That's what I was talking about!.

[@YehochananSoferMizrachi]

Honestly, I DO NOT CARE how “DIVERSE” a place is, nor how good the food is, as those are NOT my main concerns. Living and overall safety are. If anything, I have felt MUCH SAFER in European/European-American-majority neighbourhoods, being the ONLY family of our ethnicity and immigration background, never having had any major issues with anyone (because my parents raised me to be humble and respectful towards everyone), than I have in so-called “DIVERSE” neighbourhoods, where ANYTHING and EVERYTHING goes on, police presence/attention is required 24/7, and where there are people who preach about “D-I-V-E-R-S-I-T-Y” on one hand, but yet, hold different standards when it comes to diversity of thought, and Jews, let alone, religiously observant ones. Although this place does look a bit sketchy, and not somewhere you would want to hang around after dark, it is actually not that bad, compared to some of the “hoods” in major U.K. and U.S. cities.

[@happydillpickle]

The "Jews don't count" attitude when it comes to "diversity" is getting worse and worse. The more a person claims to be "liberal minded", the more antisemitism, is my experience unfortunately.

[@mariahvilla2354]

Thanks for taking us in this walk around the neighborhood. 😊

[@estherross1]

Last time I was in that station was 97. I would use it to get home from migdal haemek to kiryat sefer. Crazy how deserted it looks.

[@estherross1]

I remember going downstairs to the bottom floor and walking a long, quiet, scary corridor, then having to walk up a long tube like structure to wait for the bus. Always freaked me out.

[@stankormy5717]

Y’all got to check out that Sudan restaurant next time!

[@reesekerr5288]

[@adish7275]

The central station is a legendary place. So many memories from 20 years ago. There was something about that place.

[@alexcarter8807]

If you want to make mochi, instead of getting the sweet rice, get "Mochiko" which is sweet rice flour. The rice itself is very hard to grind fine, and with Mochiko the grinding is done for you.

[@alexcarter8807]

For Indian curries, those packets like Tasty Bite (cheaper brands that are just as good are MTR and Vimal) are a good start. You can use one of those, put some extra veggies in, customize it how you like. They are "vegetarian" but really they're milchig, so if you're trying to at least nod toward keeping Kosher you could put in cheese or a dollop of sour cream on top, or something like that.

[@mdc3991]

Bro found the jewish backrooms

[@alexcarter8807]

*Seriously??* you went there for *those??* I guess now I know they're good! My local 99 Ranch has them and now I'll have to try some. Also, that bus station looks fascinating. Where I grew up (Hawaii) there's a big shopping center, "Ala Moana Center" and back in the 70s and 80s when the economy was slow, it was possible to walk around the back side, through service tunnels etc. and it was kind of like that bus station. It was pretty damn cool, like that bus station is.

[@amrvandenadel]

That looks like paradise compared to many areas in India.

[@beckyjohns3900]

Go few miles up the road, I heard that’s true paradise.

[@happydillpickle]

Central bus station is one of those "you don't know what you've got til it's gone" places. Maybe that's why it's still standing. I don't know why they don't encourage people to set up small businesses with super cheap rent in there...cheer up those gloomy corridors a bit! Thanks as always for another fabulous video Tal ❤️

[@isagive]

Very cool man, i wish they color that area - a project for that area kids and its cheap to do

[@imisstoronto3121]

Tal, how old is that building? I vaguely remember picking up a bus at the Central Bus Station, and I dont remember it looking like that!! Edit: I googled it and it said this was opened in 1993. Looks dreadful. I remember the CBS as being open air.

[@stmark4181]

What is the government's plan to improve that neighborhood?

[@galleonseas4206]

Good question, I think the answer is partially addressed within the video: 1:11 "Non-Jews", South-East Asians, African / Jewish Ethiopians live here 3:10 discusses the plan to destroy neighborhood / build light rail system 4:25 it isn't cared for like the rest of Israel... "it's a much different world". Israeli attitudes towards Ethiopian Jews / Asian migrants are well documented, a quick Google search would help explain the situation further.

[@notapplicableproductions6504]

@@galleonseas4206 Right, because building a world-class light rail line in the neighborhood, connecting it to the rest of the city is the same thing as destroying it…

[@יוסףסגל]

I live in yokneam. When Iworked in Rehovot I had too travel every day from Yokneam to Rehovot and change buses in that TelAviv monster station Tamchat from bus 826 to bus 201 or 301. So then I decided to get off the 826 at Arlozorov tetminal and take the 274 to Rehovot and not go throu the second bigest bus monster in the world after the nes delhi station.

[@ivritasker]

I'm a kibbutz member. I haven't been in Neve Sha'anan for years. Remember how the original bus station was atrocious and wreaked of the smell of piss? Maybe you personally don't remember. You're too young. You have peaked my interested. Is the street between the old and present bus station still called the Shoeshop Street? You didn't point out, although seen by those who know, that the bus station is the biggest contruction failure in Israel with tens of deserted and vacant shops. It's a dark pigstye that has lost it's original purpose. It's an eyesaw of wasted space. This district may be seen as quaint. But I don't think so. It is a stark reminder to me of everything that formed by negative opinion of Tel Aviv and why I stopped going there a very, very long time ago. However, since my daughter and family live in beautiful northern Tel Aviv along the banks of the River Yarkon and the patk, it's taken me a long time to reformulate my opinion of Tel Aviv. Having said of all of this, I may find time to revisit there, as well as Levinsky Street, coz of the culinary diversity. I really like South East Asian cuisine.

Christian Children in Jerusalem gathered together to pray for peace in Israel, Gaza and Palestine. Children in Gaza were “protesting” on streets for flour. Let’s pray for all children around the world. God bless them 🙏

I live in Italia and I come from a small village with many Italian that are Jewish and on the other that are Palestinian. I don’t find all religions to be a cult but I consider many Middle Eastern religions past being a cult. I think that’s why so many ppl don’t care for Middle East.

[@alishamaryleerichardson-go2106]

certainly sketchy.. is this the same station you bought some new shoes/sneakers from a shop in there a couple years back? I probably am not remembering the right place but it sure looks creepy in any case.

16:30 Israel's placement of bomb shelters is discriminatory. Arab towns have fewer bomb shelters than sometimes even smaller Jewish towns.

[@stephenfisher3721]

Why would Arabs bomb their beloved fellow brother Arabs?

[@matteosaviane6497]
