Culinary and cultural riches await visitors to the Galilee

Orit Arfa September 9, 2007

A walking tour within non-Jewish towns and villages — with or without guides — can be an eye-opening, informative, tasty and heart-warming experience.

Violinist Joshua Bell walks in the footsteps of masters

George Robinson October 12, 2006

Bell is, by his own admission, more of a cultural Jew than a religious one. \”My mother is Jewish, a very typical Jewish mother,\” he said. \”She was very involved in my practicing.

My eyes couldn\’t help but tear up as we moved on to the Mi Chamocha, the song of freedom. At that moment I felt as though God truly was with us.

Hip Cynics for Export

Amy Klein April 6, 2006

In Israel, no one wants to be a friar — a sucker, a patsy, a flunky, a tool.

It\’s the Israeli equivalent of the Chinese never wanting to lose face. And in Israel, this primary motivation explains much of the country\’s machismo — and perhaps even its political situation.

Israeli Superstars Rock the Diaspora

Amy Klein March 2, 2006

Each of the artists\’ songs have flooded the radio waves for nearly five decades, a soundtrack, of sorts, to Israel\’s many wars, casualties, celebrations, assassinations, and shifting moods — from hopeful to cynical and hopeful again.
