EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Tel Aviv, Israel's history as Maccabi Sports Club members, also known as the Maccabees, eagerly await the arrival of the esteemed British statesman, Lord Arthur Balfour, near the Triumph Gate on March 26, 1925. Lord Balfour, who served as the United Kingdom's Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905, was visiting Tel Aviv for the opening ceremony of the Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium. The Maccabi Sports Club, founded in 1901, is one of Israel's largest sports clubs and a significant part of the Maccabi association, which manages numerous sports clubs and teams in Tel Aviv. The Maccabees compete in a diverse range of sports, including football, basketball, judo, swimming, and handball, among others. In the photograph, a group of Maccabi members can be seen lining the street, their Union Jack and Israeli flags held high, as they eagerly wait for the arrival of Lord Balfour and his entourage. The Triumph Gate, an iconic landmark in Tel Aviv, serves as the backdrop for this momentous occasion. The image beautifully encapsulates the excitement and anticipation of the community as they welcome a high-ranking British official to their city, marking an essential milestone in the development of Tel Aviv and Israeli sports.
