Tel-Aviv

As the Center of Avram Goldstein-Goren’s business activities in Israel for some 50 years, the city of Tel-Aviv has enjoyed his special attention. During the last two decades he and his family have expressed their support of the city by financing their social welfare, educational and research projects. Most of these projects have been carried out through the Tel-Aviv Foundation, in close cooperation with Shlomo Lahat, long-time Mayor of Tel-Aviv until, at the end of 1993 he decided to step down. In the course of this activity, the relationship between the Mayor and the Goldstein-Goren family has become one of friendship and common concern of the overall welfare of the city’s residents, with particular emphasis on the needier ones, a concern that was amply shared by Lahat’s successor, Roni Milo, as well as by the current Mayor of Tel Aviv, Ron Huldai.

Kiryat Goldstein-Goren

In the heart of South Tel Aviv, Kiryat Shalom – an old neighborhood showing the signs of time – is inhabited by long-time residents and by new immigrants struggling with the daily difficulties of absorption. There, the narrow, winding streets of gray and aging houses open onto an eye-catching site: the Goldstein-Goren Sports, Recreation and Cultural Centers.
This is the Foundation’s largest project in Tel-Aviv. The Sports Center was completed in the ’80s and the Cultural and Educational Center in 1994.
This project is comprised of a recreation and sports center, which has been functioning for several years, and a more recent community center for culture and education. In recognition of the Cukier, Goldstein-Goren Foundation’s contribution to the reclaiming of Kiryat Shalom, the Tel-Aviv municipality has voted to name this area, including the contiguous residential area, KIRYAT GOLDSTEIN-GOREN.

Sports and Recreation Center

The Sports and Recreation Center, established by the Cukier, Goldstein-Goren Foundation as a gift to residents of Kiryat Shalom, stands on a 20 dunam (5 acre) plot of land, rich with trees, flower gardens and wide lawns. The Center is a sport club that houses a large number of activities in a single complex – Tennis Center, Exercise and Fitness Room, Swimming Pool Complex and Sports Gymnasium.

The carefully planned and excellently executed Center was inaugurated early 1985. With its rich and varied program of activities for men, women and children, it was a dream come true for the residents. The Center includes four main facilities, each managed by an experienced coach and staff, and is operated professionally to enable each participant to enjoy healthy physical activity.
