The house-Museum of Bialik – dear to every Jew. Here lived Chaim Bialik, the national poet of Israel. Even if the tourist is not interested in poetry in Yiddish and Hebrew, it still worth to visit this house, considered one of the most beautiful in tel Aviv. The house is interesting and the architecture, and recreates the atmosphere in which she lived Jewish intellectuals in the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century.

Chaim Bialik wrote love poems, children poems, prose; many translated and edited. He had a huge impact on the entire Jewish literature. But perhaps the best known poems of Bialik, calling the modern Jewish people to awakening and spiritual growth. Really famous Bialik began in 1904, when he published a poem "City of slaughter" (in Russian translation "the Legend of the pogrom"). Readers are amazed that in the poem, dedicated to the Kishinev pogrom, the poet has not only described the horrific villainy, but also accused compatriots in the apathy and cowardice. Many Jews after reading the poem joined-defense movement that arose in response to the riots.

Extraordinary view on life was inherent Chaim from his youth. Bialik was born in the wilds of the Russian Empire, was brought up by his grandfather, a Talmudist, he studied in the house of prayer and the yeshiva, but, like all great minds, he was closely in a narrow framework. He became an autodidact, he studied Russian and German languages, secretly read secular books writers and educators, have thought a lot about the history of their people.

Soon after the revolution, in 1921, with the assistance of Maxim Gorky's the Bialik managed to leave Soviet Russia. He moved to Berlin, and then in tel Aviv, where he bought land and built for himself and his wife Mani, this unusual house. Here in 1934, following the premature death of Bialik grieving crowds of people accompanied the poet on his last journey.

The house was built by architect Joseph Minor in the typical eclectic style, boldly combining Eastern and Western traditions. Striking tower with a dome, outdoor terraces, arched Windows. The first floor is richly decorated with ceramic tiles, made at the Academy of arts "Bezalel" sketches by ze'ev Raban. The images on the tiles discern old Testament stories. Great importance in the design of the plays wall color is a deep blue at the entrance, deep ochrany on the stairs, dressed in olive semi-circular dining room, where the service on the table as if expecting guests.

It wasn't just housing – there was going to the Jewish writers, artists, public figures. In the Museum you can feel the welcoming aura the home. Authentic household items, furniture, paintings, sculptures, books, letters and documents.

The street on which stands the house of Bialik, bears his name. Seemingly ordinary practice. But it is the name given to the street during the life of the poet. The first mayor of tel Aviv Meir Dizengoff understood that the decision of the Bialik to stay here – a great honor for the young city. Immediately after the arrival of the Bialik in Palestine Dizengoff gave the ceremonial reception, at which he promised to name a street, where dwell the great poet, his name. And so they did.
