Shavuot 2010

It’s time to collect those cheesecake crumbs and put off thoughts of evil desserts until next year. Or the next Jewish holiday. But Shavuot wouldn’t be Shavuot without some pictures from the shindig on my moshav. Traditionally, moshavs and kibbutzes are the place to be on Shavuot - tractors get to race against each other, [...]

Purim 2010

So this weekend saw Purim festivities hit Israel, and hit Israel big time. Undoubtedly the most fun of all the Jewish holidays, it’s a great excuse to get dressed up (for both kids and adults) and to just let your hair down and party. And then there’s the gift parcels that are given, often between [...]

Jerusalem from above

So we’ve all seen the standard tourist shots of Jerusalem; the Old City, the Western Wall or even Ben Yehuda promenade, oh yeh, most of us are probably very familiar with the regular tourist-type shots.

Pictures from the Madonna concert in Tel Aviv

OK, so Israel has started to wind down from Madonna fever, and before we totally forget that the Queen of Pop was here in the Holy Land, and yes, knocked our socks off, here are some shots I took from before, during, and after the show. Yes, Madonna was here in Israel, live and most [...]

Shavuot food porn

Here are a few pictures from the great Shavuot dinner we had last night. As you can see, there is an absolutely amazing array of dairy-based food, all prepared by the in-laws, bless ‘em. Salads galore, pastas of all shapes and colours, home-made pizzas, yoghurts bursting with fruits and granola, it was all there. Some food didn’t even get [...]

The hype and afterglow from the concert is starting to cool off, so before we forget that Depeche Mode were actually in Israel and performing some of their classics here in the Holy Land (yes, I was there - check out my review of the show!), here are some shots I took before, during and after [...]

Passover pictures

A couple of days late as Passover is now done and dusted, and the hametz is well and truly back in the nation’s cupboards, but here are some pictures from Passover/Pessach 2009. The pictures were all taken during the last week or so, including the seder meal and a couple of pics from my kid’s kindergarten shindig.

Pictures of Jerusalem

Time for some pictures of the Holy City of Jerusalem. Of course, Jerusalem should be on your list of “must sees”, and hopefully this little collection of images from the Old City, the Ben Yehuda promenade and other shots from around the city will give you some inspiration.

Pictures of Eilat

What with a weekend of storms and driving winds and rain working their way throughout Israel, I thought a few pictures of a sunny, snorkely Eilat were needed. I wish I hadn’t started looking at these pictures now…

Pictures of the Dead Sea

As the winter snow ravages parts of Western Europe and North America (and elsewhere), I thought a few pictures of a steaming hot Dead Sea might be needed. It is one of the warmer places in the Holy Land of course, with a warm climate virtually all year round - in the winter it averages [...]

Faces of Israel

Want to meet some typical Israelis? The kind you’ll bump into on the street on your trip to the Holy Land?
We’ve collected some of our more interesting shots over the years of local Israelis. Friends, families, complete strangers on the streets. If they look interesting, we’ll snap ‘em!
