A trip to Rosh Hanikra (רֹאשׁ הַנִּקְרָה) 2008-04-09 05:51:00 Thousands of years ago a series of underground shocks created a gap between the layers of the rocks in the northern part of Israel by the seashore. Rainwater and seawater have penetrated into these gaps and have created beautiful tunnels and caves called grottoes (נְקָרוֹת).
Throughout the history this point of the coastal road served as [...]
Preparations for a family vacation in Israel 2008-04-03 01:59:13 Shalom,
The spring is here: the weather is lovely (although somewhat unpredictable), the flowers are blooming and nature is waking up. This is the time to enjoy the beauty of our country and to travel, before the Passover cleaning and preparations take over our life.
My mother-in-law (חָמוֹת) decided to invite the family (מִשְׁפָּחָה) to a vacation [...] Read more:Israel

Thoughts about Passover, liberty, health & friendship 2008-04-15 09:29:33 Ruthy’s story
One of the most significant aspects of Passover
is liberty
(חֵרוּת)and freedom (חֹפֶשׁ) . The biblical story tells us about the liberation of the people of Israel from their slavery in Egypt. The Haggadah tells us that “in every generation one must feel as though s/he personally had been rescued from Egypt”.

Leil-Haseder – a changing experience 2008-04-23 03:12:56 Is there a “right” Seder?
On Saturday night my family gathered around the table to celebrate Pesach. The dining table was extended, the white tablecloth spread on, the Pesach plate was presented, and the wine waited to be poured. We all sat around the table – the three generations of the family and began [...] Read more:experience

My father was born and raised in Paris to Jewish-Polish immigrant parents. During World-War II he and his younger brother were sent to hide in a little village in France called Foulletourte.

The local [...] Read more:Remembrance

The Global Peace Index and third-graders definition of Peace 2008-05-20 07:44:27 I sit at my home-office, the olive tree peeps at my window, the birds are chirping, the sky is blue, and I read on the internet that Israel is rated as the fifth less-peaceful country in the world at the GlobalPeaceIndex
(GPI) of 2008.
The Peace Index was translated on the Israeli news [...] Read more:third

Jerusalem Day יוֹם יְרוּשָׁלַיִם 2008-05-29 03:25:35 Next week, we celebrate Jerusalem
Day to commemorate the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967.
Jerusalem – the golden city, the holy city, the beating heart of so many people, of so many beliefs and religions. Whenever I go up to Jerusalem (we don’t say that we simply go or travel to Jerusalem, we always “go up” [...]
Going to the Market הוֹלְכִים לַשּׁוּק 2008-06-04 04:11:28 In our Hebrew lessons, we teach quite extensively about the market (Shuk, שׁוּק). We teach about the names of fruits and vegetables and we create dialogues between sellers and shoppers. The Shuk is a real part of the Israeli experience. Therefore, I was puzzled when my seven-year-old daughter, Daphna, asked me if there are [...] Read more:Market

The Scroll of Ruth מְגִלַּת רוּת 2008-06-11 08:13:53 Shavu’ot, names, and friends שָׁבוּעוֹת, שֵׁמוֹת וַחֲבֵרוֹת
During the Holiday of Shavu’ot, we read in the Synagogue the Book (or Scroll
) of Ruth.
The story tells about the Jewish family of Elimelekh who moved to Moab (מוֹאָב) due to the draught in the land of Judea. The sons of the family married Moabite women. After some [...]
kayits – summer – קַיִץ 2008-06-30 08:44:00 It is summer officially now. The school year ends, it is hot and humid, and all I can think about is either an air-conditioned place or anything to do with water - the pool, the shower, simply drinking cold water, and the best of all - the beach at sunset eating watermelon and feta [...]
The Saxne - הַסַּחְנָה 2008-06-23 06:56:00 Gan Hashlosha National Park הַפַּרְק הַלְּאֻמִּי גַּן הַשְּׁלוֹשָׁה –
Last Saturday, I found myself resting under the shade of huge oleander plants (הַרְדּוּף) watching a couple of pigeons nesting just in the right angle for me to observe. The kids were sliding on a narrow canal just on top of a magnificent waterfall and [...]
