It’s official: Metallica to perform in Israel
After weeks of rumors, it’s now official: rock legends Metallica are coming to Israel! Recognized as probably the most successful metal band ever, this will be Metallica’s third visit to the Holy Land (after visits in 1993 and 1999), and a much anticipated addition to the impressive summer lineup…
Mark your diaries: the concert’s scheduled for [...]
Elvis Costello is coming to Israel!
And the summer list of international artists performing in Israel just got longer…this time the legendary Elvis Costello has been confirmed for the 30th June at the Caesarea Amphitheater (about half an hour’s drive north of Tel Aviv). He’s only here for the one show but at long last, Israeli music fans can get to [...]
Snow and skiing in Israel? Are you kidding me?!
Oh yes. You might not associate the colder aspects of a North American or North European winter with the Middle East, but during the winter months in Israel you can usually see some snow. And if you make it up to the northern tip of Israel, to Mount Hermon, you can even brush up on [...]
Follow those oranges at the Shvil HaTapuzim!
As the citrus season just about comes to a close, it’s a great time to take the kids off to Shvil HaTapuzim - The Orange Path. Oh yes, if you and your kids love oranges and generally like letting off steam (and hey, what kid doesn’t need to…), the Shvil HaTapuzim is a perfect day [...]
Design Museum Holon - the most iconic museum building in the world?
The Design Museum Holon holds its inauguration ceremony today, opening its doors to an eager public in March, 2010. After four years in construction, the amazing steel ribbon facade that has come to symbolize a new dawn of design and innovation in Israel, and especially in Holon (a small town just outside Tel Aviv), is [...]
If you think he’s sexy - Rod Stewart is coming to Israel!
Oh yes, the summer roster of stars coming to perform in Israel in 2010 just got longer once again. This time, it’s blond bombshell Rod Stewart coming back to the Holy Land for the first time since 1983, when he was just a wee bit younger, and quite possibly sexier.
Rod is lined up to perform [...]
Elton John is coming to Israel!
Yesterday saw the list of star performers coming to Israel in 2010 get a little bit longer with the news that Elton John has officially confirmed a date with the Holy Land on June 17th. It’s been rumored for a while now, but with an official sponsor now in place (Bank Discount), the deal is [...]
Our guide to the artists coming to Israel in 2010
Continuing on from our 2009 guide, here’s a list of the artists scheduled to perform in the Holy Land during 2010. After getting spoiled last year with a whole range of big names, 2010 looks set to be even better. And following years of a real drought of musical talent coming to perform in Israel, [...]
O Little Town of Bethlehem
If you’re visiting Israel, there’s one place that should be at the top (or pretty darned close to the top) of your sightseeing list - Bethlehem. Regardless of your faith, this little town just ten kilometers south of Jerusalem in the Palestinian Authority, is a must-see attraction thanks to its role as the birthplace of [...]
Nazareth: The Movie
As the Christmas season closes in on its climax, I thought I should pop over to Nazareth for some Basilica-like inspiration. So I did. And was inspired. An article about Nazareth (and the beautiful Basilica of the Annunciation - yes, go visit!) is coming soon, but here’s a clip of some of the best moments [...]
Bet you didn’t know there are TWO Bethlehems in Israel…?!
The little town of Bethlehem conjures up images of wise men and frankincense, and of a little twinkling star high above a stable, as pictured on countless Christmas cards. It’s a unique place, and obviously full of history, including the Church of the Nativity, the site of Jesus’ birthplace. But did you know that there [...]
The ultimate Christian pitstop in the Holy Land - the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem
If you’re heading for Bethlehem, you’re undoubtedly going to stop at the Church of the Nativity, perhaps the ultimate destination on any Christmas visit to Israel. One of the holiest sites in Christianity, the Church represents the spot where Jesus of Nazareth was born.
If you enjoyed this post why not buy us a pint? It’s [...]
