Tel Aviv has been named the “happiest city in the world” by The Travel blog, beating cities like Madrid, Copenhagen and Zurich. 

The list names the “happiest cities in the world that are known for their positivity and prosperity,” with Tel Aviv ranked top.

Citing its “rich cultural heritage, kind people, and abundance of food, shopping, and learning,” The Travel blog argues that Tel Aviv has become a “global hot spot for spring break and vacationing as a whole.”

“One of the reasons the city is ranked highly for happiness is its progressive ideologies, often attracting the LGBTQ+ community to visit,” it concluded in its description of the city.

Tel Aviv is known as the LGBT capital of the Middle East, with hundreds of thousands participating in the annual Pride Parade.

Often referred to as the “Miami of the Middle East”, Tel Aviv is also known for its wide beaches, night life, and culinary experiences.

Two cities in California, San Jose and Fremont, were int the top five, which also included Madrid (Spain), and Stockholm (Sweden).

Pioneering

In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.

Campaigning

Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.

Voice of our community to wider society

The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
