celebrities and socialites from all over the country being fitted in his
luxurious creations.
The world of high fashion is an inseparable part of Matan's life as the

journalists as "the wonder boy of the fashion world.” His creative
journey started at the heart of the Negev Desert, to the big city Tel

6. OR Movement
As the center of Israel becomes increasingly overcrowded, the Negev and Galilee remain vastly under populated.
At OR Movement, we see these areas as the future of Israel, and home to immeasurable opportunities in all areas
of housing, industry, education, recreation and business.
For Israel’s 100th birthday in 2048, our mission is to bring the Negev and Galilee into the future of Israel as centers
for population in their own right as independent and thriving regions.
Established in 2002 OR Movement has been working to develop the Negev and Galilee to bloom into attractive
living options for Israel’s diversified population. To date, we’ve successfully established 9 new communities; revived
68 rural and urban communities that were seeing population decline or extinction. OR Movement guided 28 “Seed
Groups” of young pioneers to develop communities in need; built 84 community facility projects. In total we have
nearly 33,000 pioneers living in our new and renewed communities.
Since our beginning, we have been seeking to create a radical change in the way the world partners with Israel, to
develop the Negev and Galilee, and to see the potential in these areas. We have been working in places such as
New York, Miami, and London to bring a fresh new perspective on the future of Israel and the role of the next
generation.
Together. We are building the State of Israel.

7. Tahor Group
Tahor Group’s goals for our clients are to provide the skills and experience of a large
agency with the ingenuity, singular attention and affordability that can only be offered by a
boutique firm. After client evaluation, our team develops a tailored made plan that
addresses all areas of the business from marketing to finance.
For the opening of New York Fashion Week in September 2014, the Tahor Group put on a
groundbreaking event that closed Central Park South. A "moving runway" of couture laden
models paraded in New York City’s famous horse and carriages. Our clients were Viktor
De Sousa and The Horse and Carriage Association. The collaboration received 92 million
media impressions. CNN praised the Tahor Group, saying we "staged a different kind of
runway celebrating everything New York”. The Tahor Group then went on to do another
event with the Horse and Carriages, titled “High Tea at the Stables”. The event was in
collaboration with Amazon and Viktor Luna and was covered by both the New York Times
and The Daily News.
The Tahor Group created the TLV RUNWAY NYC production which was endorsed by the
Consulate General of Israel. The event exposed the Israeli brand to it’s first NYFW. The
event at TAO exhibited the creativity and innovation of Israel's achievement in design with
Maya Negri and Nirit Dekel.
Our latest marketing plot was a love match between Inbal Dror and Madame Paulette. The
goal of the event was to introduce the talents of Israeli designers to NYFW and to increase
the footprint of Inbal Dror in the United States. The event, titled Happily Ever After, featured
The Real Housewives of New York star, Dorinda Medley, as host. The show showcased
one of Beyonce’s World Formation Tour ensembles. The Forward praised our event saying
it was "Not Your Average Peep Show".
