Last week of the olive harvest. Lower Galilee. Autumn flowers. Ceasefire. Life.

Ceasefire sunsets are simply better.

Guiding during wartime is very rare, and it's a somewhat surreal (but welcome) experience. I'm grateful to have spent 3 days with a delegation of journalists and parliamentary staff from the Netherlands to Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
We delved into the details of Jerusalem's conflicted geopolitical status and its rich cultural, historical and religious heritage.

I was asked to take part in this German-language dossier, for which I thank the folks at Erinnern.at

Web-Dossier zum 7. Oktober 2023 und dem Krieg in Nahost

Ein neues Web-Dossier des OeAD-Programms ERINNERN:AT unterstützt Lehrkräfte bei der Thematisierung des 7. Oktobers und des Kriegs in Nahost. Ein Q&A beantwortet 13 Fragen rund um den Konflikt und die derzeitige Situation. Befragt wurden Expertinnen und Experten, die im Zuge der Hochschullehrgänge und Israel-Seminarreisen mit ERNNERN:AT zusammenarbeiten und im Dossier ihre Perspektive teilen. Ebenso beinhaltet das Dossier geschichtliche Hintergrundinformationen sowie pädagogische Handreichungen und Webtools zum Thema.

Now that's an angle you don't see every day, from a specific spot that is generally not open to the public.

Many of you have been to Jerusalem's old city with me. Can you tell from which exact vantage point I took these photos last week?
Comment below !

It was a horrible winter, but a very rainy one. Spring is accordingly intense this year. Very dissonant with human reality.

After impressive amounts of rain, spring arrived in the region. These are scenes from the Carmel mountain range and its surroundings.

Jerusalem's prominent fortress, the "Tower of David" is not only an impressive complex displaying remnants from over 2,000 years. It is also home to a wonderfully curated museum dedicated to the city's history, and the inner courtyard is home to various events and art fares on weekends.

After 3 years of modernization and renewal, the new, permanent exhibition is finally open.

Whenever you visit Jerusalem again, leave at least half a day to absorb this gem.

Merry Christmas from Haifa.
Wishing you and your loved ones all the best.

The beautiful Manasseh hills, 20 km southeast of Haifa. International tourists never get here. That's understandable. No famous holy sites, no burning conflict, just serene countryside. And so lush and green after the first rains.

The remote southeastern Arava valley is the only region entirely left out of the current war situation. No rockets, no sirens, no preemptive evacuation. The peace treaty 🕊️ with neighboring Jordan is a wonderful asset. May we know more such achievements. Amen.

Wishing a happy Hanukkah to all page followers 🕎🧡
