Spring Time in Israel share
This is one of my favorite times of the year. The skies are blue and rainy days are becoming fewer and fewer. Yellow blossoms blanket fields all over the country and my sweaters are making plans for their summer hibernation. Can you hibernate during the summer? One of the things I love most though are […]
A White Winter in Jerusalem share
For as long as I can remember, coming to Israel meant shorts, tank-tops, bathing suits and LOTS of sunscreen. This past week, however, we’ve seen the colder side of things. After some crazy winter storms that knocked over trees, and shut down public transportation, pictures are emerging all over the internet of our little country […]
The Hexagon Pool share
Summer is nearing (we hope) and I thought this would be a nice opportunity to mention one of my favorite day trips…or perhaps it’s my attempt to convince winter to go away already! Either way, make sure you put a day aside to visit the Hexagon pool (or Breichat HaMeshushim) in the lower Golan. A […]
A Rose Garden for Shoshana share
This past week I have been traveling with one of the most beautiful families I have ever had the pleasure to guide; The Englanders from Philadelphia. It is a unique experience for me to guide this family. For starters, the eldest son, is a very smart 6-year-old that attends a Jewish school in the US. […]
Visit Beautiful Caesarea share
Close your eyes and imagine a fleet of Roman ships anchored at the docks, overflowing with gold and spices. Picture the merchants examining fabulous fabrics and negotiating for goods. See the Roman Legion officers in their shining uniforms surrounded by beautiful adoring women. Imagine King Herod, the visionary of the largest port in the eastern […]
A Lifetime of Pets (an Excercise in Creativity) share
I discovered my creativity at a very young age. I was just 10 years old when I wrote a play for Purim that was later performed by my classmates in front of the entire school. As a teacher, I relied on my creativity to explain difficult concept to my students. And now as a tour […]
Cooking with the Bible share
Located in central Israel, on the road that links Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, is the scenic Biblical Landscape Reserve of Neot Kedumim. This beautiful park is the only biblical landscape reserve in the world and it allows you to see and experience the land as it was 2,000 years ago. Walking through this post-card worthy […]
A Family Reunion to Remember share
Is there any better place to have a family reunion than Israel ?! I can’t imagine one. This is a place for all ages, for adventure or relaxation. Most of all, Israel is the perfect place to tell your children the stories that are passed from generation to generation (Dor le Dor) in a joyous […]
Tel Aviv - The City that Never Sleeps share
Tel Aviv is often described as the city that never sleeps and not without reason. When I was young, I spent many nights enjoying this amazing city on the Mediterranean. I used to love dancing in the modern clubs at the Tel Aviv Port or sharing a drink with friends in the south Tel Aviv […]
A Sport for every Fan share
Israeli sports have come a long way in the last 64 years. Israeli athletes are competing worldwide in every sport. Soccer is definitely one of the most popular sports in Israel. Our little country is even represented by players in some of the most successful European teams, such as Yossi Benyoun who currently plays for […]
