Jerusalem Beer Festival 2010
Tomorrow sees the start of the Jerusalem Beer Festival, 2010. Held over two days (the 18th and 19th), that should be just about enough time (or not, if you’ve got British DNA) to get yourselves a sampling of some of the many beers - over a hundred brands - on show.
The Jerusalem Beer Festival is [...]
The Drums and LCD Soundsystem join PiL for a Heineken in Tel Aviv
This summer’s Heineken Music Festival in Tel Aviv has already gotten some much needed hype with the confirmed arrival of the legendary John Lydon and his PiL colleagues.

Exhibition of controversial photographer David LaChapelle opens in Tel Aviv
Tomorrow sees the opening of a brand new exhibition at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, one that will probably get talked about more than most.

White Night in Tel Aviv - 5 FREE things to see and do

Opera by moonlight at Masada - Verdi’s Nabucco
OK, so opera isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. But when you’ve got the magnificent setting of the Dead Sea (one of my favorite places in Israel) and Masada as your backdrop, you could stick a retarded monkey banging dustbin lids there and it would still be awe-inspiring…
The opera being performed next week will be a [...]

It’s been a busy week yet again for those interested in music and seeing top names turn up in the Holy Land. Adding to the summer’s awesome roster is Seal, better known for his huge hits from the 90s, including “Crazy” and “Kiss From a Rose”. Not sure if anybody remembers his very first hit [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
