The merry Agadati days Baruch Agadati from Odessa was the crown prince of night life of Tel Aviv in the twenties. A ballet dancer by profession, Agadati first came to Israel in 1910 with plans to study painting at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem. As a Russian, the Turkish authorities regarded him as a hostile subject and so he was deported at the outbreak of World War I. He returned to Odessa and joined the opera as a dancer. Agadati came back to Israel with the Third Aliya and made Tel Aviv his home. More than anything, Agadati is remembered for the dances and social events he organized, the Adloyada (Purim costume parade), and Purim parties. In 1930 Agadati established a film studio and today his films are an important source for the life and atmosphere of Tel Aviv in its early days.  Nahum Gutman Designed Tel-Aviv's emblem On Tel Aviv's 25th anniversary, the city leaders thought that the time had come for Tel Aviv to have its own emblem. The winning tender was by artist Nahum Gutman, whose father, the author S. Ben Zion, was among the first residents of Ahuzat Bait. Gutman's emblem features motifs of Tel Aviv and its spiritual father, Theodor Herzl. The seven stars relate to Herzl's plan for a seven-hour workday that for years was the official municipal workday. The lighthouse at the center of the logo marks the old port of Tel Aviv, which served as a gateway to the country for thousands of immigrants. Theemblem incorporates "Tel Aviv", which appears in the Book of Ezekiel, and the following quotation from the Book of Jeremiah (31:4): "Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built. " The emblem was revised in 1959, on the occasion of Tel Aviv's 50th anniversary, at its center the number 50, canopied by residential buildings, to suggest the immense development of the city since its early days as a neighborhood of Yafo.  How the camel grew wings Tel Aviv has been the location of international fairs since the thirties. On April 7, 1932, Tel Aviv inaugurated its first international fair. The ceremony was held in the presence of the British High Commissioner, Mayor Dizengoff, members of the diplomatic corps, and dignitaries. 23 countries took part in the fair, which lasted three days and included orchestras, dances, plays and films. On the occasion of the fair, the leaders of the city announced the designation of a 100-dunam area in north Tel Aviv as a permanent fairground. Architect Arieh Elhanani was appointed to head the project and its focal point, the Pavilion of Nations. Architect Richard Kauffmann was appointed to plan the Home Produce Palace. The idea for the Flying Camel, the logo of the Levant Fair, came from a derogatory remark made by the mayor of Yafo. He had apparently derided his Jewish colleagues as dreamers, saying that they will have a fair when the camel grows wings. The fair became a reality and the camel was emblazoned with wings, proof of a dream come true.
