"When life gives you lemons, turn it into (spiked) lemonade" 🤣

That is the title for this one. No doubt.

The Kassmans were on a dad-son trip with us in Israel when the situation turned completely.
The Israeli assault on Iran surprised us all and 40,000 tourists found themselves here with us as Iran launched missles at Israel.

While it became clear that the tour could not continue as planned, it was also clear that leaving through the airport was impossible as all flights were cancelled.

So, we started evacuating tourists through Jordan and figured why not just continue the tour there?
With the assistance of my great friends and partners in Jordan, we made it happen and the trip went on.

Spiked lemonade ladies and gentlemen. Because we don't quit on you. *Even during war* .

The country is starting to get back to "normal" (?). When are you coming over to visit the sites and show your support?

We are waiting for you 🥰

Today Shavuot is celebrated!
Shavuot is a holiday in Judaism, the second of the three pilgrimages. It falls the day after the completion of the seven-week Omer (hence its name). Another name for the holiday of Shavuot is the holiday of giving the Torah. According to tradition, on the day of Shavuot, Mount Sinai was held, where God revealed himself to the people of Israel in a one-time event and commanded them the commandments.
Happy Shavuot to all of our jewish friends.

Today we mark the Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. Yesterday evening marked its beginning.
A few minutes ago, at 10am (Israel time) we had a 2 minute siren in which everything in Israel stopped. Yes, all work, conversations and even cars stopped and we will all (hopefully) stood in unity in remembrance of the millions lost during the Shoah (the Holocaust).
As I do every year, I began a 25 hour fast last evening as my personal way of connecting with the memory of the family members we lost as well as everyone else.
With the rise of Antisemitism all over the world, we are reminded of the social climate on campuses and streets in Germany before WWII officially started. Two sentences came to mind last year and unfortunately those are still worth thinking of:
1. "He who accepts evil without fighting against it is cooperating with it".
2. "It's not enough to be not racist, you have to be anti-racist". Try switching "racist" with "antisemite" on this one...
Both, btw, are by MLK.
The video I've attached is one that I created on this subject and I'd like to invite you all to watch it (it's only 7.5 minutes long) as well as to share this post wherever and with whomever you wish.

In the first comment, I am a attaching a link to my grandmother's testimony. It's in Hebrew and there isn't a translation yet. I am working on it and hopefully by next year we will have that.

Today is the Orthodox Easter. Both Easters celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, but there are several different traditions that are based on different calendars.
Orthodox Christians, who believe that the faith and the church cannot be separated, celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar.
Orthodox Easter occurs after the first full moon after Passover. The Orthodox Easter always occurs after the Jewish Passover, since according to the New Testament, Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection happened after he entered Jerusalem for Passover celebrations. In 1582, the Gregorian calendar was instituted by Pope Gregory XIII to correct inaccuracies in the Julian calendar. According to the Gregorian calendar, churches set Easter to be on the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after the first day of spring.

The Negev Mountains are a mountainous region in the Negev. Its highest point is Mount Ramon, the highest peak in southern Israel. The area is home to the settlement of Mitzpe Ramon.
The climate there is hot during the day and very cold at night, and dry. Snow falls there about once a year and sometimes even more.
There are no stable streams in the area; the most prominent streams of disappointment there are Nahal Tzin, Nahal Ramon, and Nahal Nekarot. The Negev Mountains Nature Reserve is a declared nature reserve in the Negev, which is the largest nature reserve in Israel.

Tel Megiddo is one of the first archaeological sites excavated in the Land of Israel.
In 2005, the site was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The location of the mound is on the western edge of the Jezreel Valley. The site is located between two water sources. The city of the Old Kingdom was built at an important strategic point – a crossroads dominating the main intersection of two very important international trade routes at that time.

Bar’am National Park is a national park and in its area there is a synagogue from the Talmud period, the remains of which are among the most beautiful that were built in this period and testify to the existence of an established Jewish community in the place. Kfar Baram, the name of the Jewish settlement where the synagogue is located, was first mentioned in 1210 by the traveler R. Shmuel B. R. Shimshon and probably followed him in the Mamluk period.
On the site there are two synagogues - a large and a small one, and a Maronite church that is active on holidays and special events.
