The names on the sugar bags are names of streets in almost every city in Israel. Not everybody knows about the people behind those names. So, someone decided to teach some history through the sugar bags in cafes. On one side (shown in the picture) you can see an illustration of the figure and the period he lived in. The other has a short description of his role in the Zionist movement or his life story.
The personas include Englishmen Balfur and Wingate, and also Albert Einstein. I didn’t find Hertzel’s sugar bag. It was probably consumed by the previous customers enjoying their tea or coffee.
The photograph was taken in “Gordon 17”, a cafe in Tel Aviv, located in the place’s address. BTW, they have interesting lectures about music every Monday night at 21:00 (entrance 10 NIS). More details in Hebrew here.
