The “Sail Tower” in Haifa

Haifa Mayor Yonah Yahav has been spending time in Boston and talking about the extensive relationship between the two cities. As the Boston Globe points out, the ties between the two have been informal but robust. Maybe because the two cities are actually somewhat similar:
The two cities share many traits: Both have major ports, they lean left politically, they have vaunted universities as well as aging populations and significant immigrant communities.
Jewish organizations in both cities have taken the lead in crafting an array of exchange programs. Students from Haifa’s Prozdor High School this week completed a 10-day exchange program with students at Hebrew College in Newton. MIT and Haifa’s equivalent, the Technion, have created a technology initiative.
Sounds like a good place to start.
