Translation of the text on the sign:
Branding symbol of the city of Tel Aviv - a city without a break
In our streets The stories of the women behind the names of the streets in the city
Symbol "In full exclusion 2022" - Women’s Week in Tel Aviv - Jaffa
Bracha (Barbara) Fuld Germany 1927 - Israel 1946
[Painting depicting Bracha Fuld - Efrat Hasson de Button]

She joined the Palmach, and in 1946 commanded a squad designed to help illegal immigrants reach the shores of Tel Aviv. British army forces identified the squad and in the exchange of fire she was found dead. Many thousands accompanied her on her final journey.
An illegal immigrant ship was named after her, as well as the Givat Bracha neighborhood in Kiryat Ono and a street in Kiryat Ata. The residents of the street where she was killed named their street after her, and the poet Natan Alterman wrote a poem in her memory and dedicated a cycle of poems to her in his book "The City of the Dove."
Our streets have a special charm.
They reflect history and a culture of values and heritage.
As part of the week "in full exclusion" we will ascend to the miracle of inspiring women who have gained recognition and appreciation by naming a street after their name.
Today, not many streets in the city are named after women, and the municipality is working to rectify the situation: last year, the municipality commemorated more than ten women - artists, creators, social activists, women and spirit, and read about streets and public institutions across the city.
