Snow in the city of Jerusalem

 

"The city of Jerusalem was painted a beautiful white which became a happy holiday"

Moshe Lion, Mayor of Jerusalem

The story of what happened two millennia ago on top of Masada has become a symbol of the Israelis' commitment never to allow "Masada to fall again" and, fifty years after the excavation, Masada is, after Jerusalem, the most visited site of Israel. 

It is possible to climb to the summit on foot, via the traditional serpent-shaped path used by Herod or via the Roman ramp. But most of the millions of tourists who visit Masada are taken from the Masada Museum and Visitors Center to the summit in giant cable cars that operate daily, with the exception of Yom Kippur.

 

Teddy Park Jerusalém

 

Teddy Park was established by the the Jerusalem Foundation at the foot of the Old City walls, across the street from Jaffa Gate. In the center of the park, which stretches over seven hectares, is Israel’s only sound and light fountain. Watch beautiful synchronized water, sound and light shows which take place four times daily with 256 nozzles, 1,800 light fixtures and a recording of original music performed by the New Jerusalem Philharmonic.

The park also has a visitors’ center which tells the story of the development of modern-day Jerusalem during Teddy Kollek’s time as mayor in the city. Corner stones describing milestones of the mayor’s life are erected along the pathways. There is also a wishing well made of Jerusalem stone, a sun dial, statues, a restored historic building and an aqueduct.

The park is accessible to people with disabilities, sight impairment and for strollers.

the Jewish sabbatical year

 

One thing Israel does that no other country does: Shmita, the Jewish sabbatical year, is a "time to see ourselves not in terms of what we do, but what we are and even what we could become."

In Judaism, a sabbatical year is the name of the seventh year of the seven-year cycle. This year the people of Israel were commanded to keep the rest of the land.

the rest will start from a large part of the agricultural fields in September of this year, 2021 in the Land of Israel, and according to Jewish norms, the fruits of the harvest must be left to whoever wants to pick them and nothing must be planted until the next sowing season.

Haifa - Israel's third largest city

Contrasts set the tone for historic Haifa, Israel, a city where tradition and the modern go hand in hand.

The new neighborhoods, with their futuristic buildings, share space with millenary churches and mosques, while the solid mountain faces the fluidity of the sea that houses the largest port in the country.

In a land of constant conflict over the faith, Haifa seems suspended in time: there Muslims, Jews, Christians, Orthodox and even followers of the Bahai (a popular local religion) live in harmony.
