The "Jonah and the Whale" Sculpture

Places of Entertainment in Tel Aviv

At the ascent from the Jaffa Port, on Louis Pasteur Street near Andromeda Hill, is situated the sculpture of "Jonah and the Whale" by the sculptress Ilana Goor, which is also near the museum that is dedicated to her works. According to the Bible, it was at the Jaffa Port that the Prophet Jonah Ben Amitai left for his journey to Tarshish in order to escape the mission that God gave him. On his way Jonah was swallowed by a "great fish" and survived inside of it for three days and nights. The fish eventually let Jonah go after God has relented to his pleas. And judging from the big smile on Ilana Goor’s Whale, it perhaps enjoyed the whole experience.
