Beit Sokolov

Beit Sokolov, Journalists association headquarters in central Tel Aviv, Israel.

Beit Sokolov stands at 4 Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, between Beit Yachin and Beit Hasofer and near the Jewish Agency building. The 1957 building, designed by Shulamit and Michael Nadler, holds a main hall now named for Dov Yudkovsky, conference rooms and a gallery for temporary art exhibitions. A rear wing housed the IDF Spokesperson's Unit for over 50 years.

The Journalists Association, founded in 1939, first worked from a single office on Rothschild Boulevard. The plot on Kaplan Street came from Tel Aviv municipality, and architects Shulamit and Michael Nadler won the 1948 design competition. The cornerstone was laid on 30 September 1953, construction began in January 1954, and the house opened on 3 April 1957 with President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion present. A four-storey wing for the Government Press Office and military censorship was added in January 1961.

The building is named after Nahum Sokolow, a founding figure of Hebrew journalism who died in 1936, a year before the house opened. Its main hall was first named for Edward Norman, president of the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, and today carries the name of editor Dov Yudkovsky. Symposia on press, literature, art, theatre and economics are held here.

Beit Sokolov stands at 4 Kaplan Street, between Beit Yachin and Beit Hasofer and near the Jewish Agency building. The rear wing housed the IDF Spokesperson's Unit for over 50 years. The building sits on a 3.7-dunam plot held under a lease from the Israel Land Authority, and the association has occupied it without a contract since 1998.

A second wing behind the main hall housed the IDF Spokesperson's Unit for over 50 years. In August 1984, Kach activists stormed a press conference of Umm al-Fahm council members held here after riots in the town, attacking those present. A 2021 plan approved a 19-story tower beside the preserved building.
