THE PALMACH - IN OFRAH'S EYES share
In a recent discovery when doing some research , it occurred to me the date Israel became independent (14 May 1948 )and the date the IDF was formed.

Rainy Day Activities share

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 […]
The Shuk Experience share
Jerusalemites have Machane Yehuda and in Tel Aviv, the Carmel Market. The Ramla/Lod Market has become a brand of it’s own and moves from city to city. A day in the Israeli markets (shuks) will treat you to an extravaganza of colors, tastes and smells of seasonal fruits and vegetables straight from the fields. Throughout […]
