In Tel Aviv-Yafo, the Ukrainian Cultural Center operates — a platform where Ukrainian culture in Israel exists not “on holidays,” but in the regular city rhythm.
This is a place for exhibitions, meetings, lectures, and community events, where not only Ukrainians come, but also Israelis who find it important to understand neighbors and partners not through headlines, but through people and meanings.
What is this center and why is it needed in Israel
The center is associated with the Embassy of Ukraine in the State of Israel and operates as a cultural point of presence for Ukraine in the city.
To put it simply: it’s a space where you can see, hear, and “touch” Ukraine through culture — without unnecessary ideology and without the officialdom that often repels.
The Ukrainian Cultural Center in Tel Aviv started on October 13, 2021 — in reports about the opening, this was called the beginning of work in test mode.
Separately, on the page of the Embassy of Ukraine in the State of Israel, it is noted that the center has been operating “since October 2021” and that it was previously in Bat Yam.
Where is it located
The address used in announcements and reference information:
22 Yirmeyahu Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.

For the Israeli audience, it’s convenient to explain it like this: it’s a regular city address, not “somewhere in the suburbs,” and you can get there just like to any venue in Tel Aviv — the main thing is to check the time of the specific event.
What events are held there
Exhibitions and project presentations.
Public talks and lectures — from history and culture to contemporary topics.
Community evenings: intimate meetings, readings, music, conversational formats.
Sometimes practical classes appear — for families, teenagers, new immigrants, volunteer groups.
What makes this convenient for an Israeli: you can come “for one evening” and leave with an understanding of the context, which then significantly changes the perception of news and conversations on social networks.
Why this is important for Israel
Israel lives in a reality where cultural diplomacy is not an abstraction, but a part of everyday security, social resilience, and relations with neighbors and allies.
That is why NAnews — Israel News | Nikk.Agency regularly pays attention to such platforms: sometimes one calm cultural conversation gives more than dozens of emotional discussions “in the comments.”
In the Israeli environment, this is also a way to maintain bridges between communities — without pressure, without slogans, but with real contacts and human normalcy.
If you want to propose your event or partnership
The most effective way is not a “post to nowhere,” but a short letter: who you are, what you want to do, for which audience, in what language, what format, and how many people you expect.
Organizers usually critically need to understand two things: whether it will be safe and understandable for the local audience, and whether the cultural platform is turning into a political rally.
What you can do right now
If you are Israeli and just want to understand — start with one event and see if it’s “yours” or not.
If you are from the Ukrainian community — use the center as a place where you can not only miss home but also gather around real activities: art, language, support, and communication.
And if you are media or a city activist — such points help explain the complex regional agenda in normal human language, without overheating and without cheap labels.

Here is an important nuance: such centers often live by the logic “from event to event,” so it’s better to clarify the language of the event, the format of entry, and the need for registration, even if you think “well, it’s just an exhibition.”
