Let’s party!

We concluded with a short tour focused on the Jewish history of Adelaide. Some entrepreneurs must have heard about some of my friend’s, The Taltalistim’s, parties, and turned a night club.

  1. Glad to hear you enjoyed Ghil’ad’s lecture. Actually, this is the style of most of his lectures! And some nice photos of Adelaide (my home town). Did you know that Apple nightclub used to be called Church?
