Rave Revival

In the absence of clubs and the traditional nightlife scene, illegal outdoor raves are now popping up on the outskirts of cities throughout Europe such as in Berlin, Paris, and London.  

It was a different time and place, but I vividly remember the warehouse and parking garage raves along Kibbutz Galuyot and Derekh Ben Zvi in South Tel Aviv's those in vacant lots and buildings in the industrial areas beyond the Ayalon Freeway. This was circa 2007-2012. They were also secretly organized each weekend. Today similar outdoor raves are taking place in the forests outside Jerusalem and the fields in Gush Dan. While circumstances are certainly different, the reasons that pull young people to such social events is the same.
