At the beginning of the week, we visited the Ramon Color Route. This area was once used for mineral mining. The space has since undergone thorough restoration and has been transformed into a fascinating geological park that reveals the crater's ancient past. The route features convenient parking lots and short walking paths that lead visitors to colorful rock formations. Educational signs with clear illustrations guide visitors through the site, enhancing the overall experience.

The Yom Kippur war:

On the holy day of Yom Kippur, October 6, 1973, the armies of Egypt and Syria surprised Israel with an attack that started the Yom Kippur War, with the aim of reclaiming the territories they lost in the Six-Day War. The Israeli army suffered a major blow at the beginning of the war, but it came out of the war with the upper hand, and the war ended after 18 days, with no changes to the territories under its control.

The war caused a major crisis among the Israeli public and a lack of trust in the decision-makers in the country, due to the sacrifice of the soldiers in vain as a result of the errors of the commanders and ministers during the first days of the war. These eventually led to the election of the Likud party to power in 1977, which was the first time the Socialist Labor Party lost control of the government.

Yesterday we marked Yom Kippur, the "Day of Atonement,"the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is observed on the 10th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei and marks the culmination of the Ten Days of Repentance that begin with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.

Yom Kippur is focused on seeking forgiveness for sins committed over the past year. It involves self-reflection, prayer, and asking for forgiveness from God and others. It is a time to reconcile with both God and people.

Fasting: A central observance is a 25-hour fast that starts at sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur and ends after nightfall the following day. This fast includes abstaining from food, drink, bathing, wearing leather shoes, and other physical comforts, symbolizing purification and spiritual elevation.
Much of the day is spent in synagogue, where special prayers and services are held. The liturgy includes the Kol Nidrei prayer, which opens the holiday, and the Ne’ilah service, which closes it. The prayers ask for forgiveness and repentance and acknowledge human frailty.

White Clothing: Many people wear white clothing during Yom Kippur, symbolizing purity and spiritual renewal. In some communities, men wear a kittel, a white robe, for the same reason.

Shofar: The blowing of the shofar (a ram's horn) marks the conclusion of Yom Kippur. This sound symbolizes the closing of the "Book of Life," in which, according to tradition, people’s fates are sealed for the coming year based on their deeds and repentance.

Yom Kippur is a day of introspection, not only about one’s relationship with God but also about interpersonal relationships. Many people use this day to apologize and reconcile with family members, friends, and others they may have wronged.

Visiting Yad Vashem is an intense, emotionally challenging experience. However, it serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of remembering history and standing against hatred and prejudice in all forms. As you leave, you carry with you not just the weight of what you've learned, but also a renewed commitment to the phrase often repeated at the museum: "Never Again."

We’ve seen Florentin neighborhood in Israel transform over the years. Let us take you on a journey through this ever changing neighborhood that we’ve known since childhood. We remember when Florentin was just a forgotten corner of Tel Aviv, a place our parents warned us not to wander into after dark. But times have changed! Now, we find ourselves drawn to its narrow streets and cool energy.

These days, when we winder through Florentin, we’re struck by the contrast between old and new. Crumbling buildings stand next to trendy cafes and art galleries. The walls themselves tell stories, covered in some of the most impressive street art we’ve seen anywhere in the world. As night falls, Florentin truly comes alive. We often find ourselves drawn to its bars and underground music venues. The energy is infectious, a stark contrast to the more mainstream nightlife in other parts of the city.

Planning Your Israel Trip: What to Wear in the Israeli climate?

Packing for Israel is simpler than you might think. The weather is mild most of the year, with hot summers and brief, cool winters. Here’s a quick guide to help you pack the right clothes:

General Dress Codes: Israel is relaxed about clothing, especially in places like Tel Aviv, where anything goes. Feel free to wear shorts, tank tops, and casual attire.

Religious Sites: Modesty is key. Wear long sleeves and pants when visiting sites like the Western Wall or the Al-Aqsa Mosque. It’s a sign of respect, even if it’s not always mandatory.

Tel Aviv Nightlife: Keep it casual—jeans and a T-shirt are perfect for most spots. Some upscale venues may have stricter dress codes, so check ahead.

Summer: Light, breathable clothing is essential. Don’t forget your bathing suit and sun protection.

Winter: Pack a few warm layers, but heavy coats aren’t necessary.

Transition Seasons: Bring a mix of long and short clothes to handle unpredictable weather.
