The high street battle for your fashion budget: Castro vs H&M
Many Israelis have always told me that they believe Israel is the 51st state (or is it 52nd after Puerto Rico?!). I heard this story through a friend the other day and now I must relay it to you because it is the perfect example of the “commercialization” and “Americanization” of Israel.
The friend, [...]
Oscar glory beckons for the Ajami crew!
Tonight it’s Oscar night and Israel interest in the annual movie extravaganza is high, as this is the third consecutive year that an Israeli movie is in line for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.

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 [...]
Gap comes to Tel Aviv!
We’re all waiting with bated breath for H&M to open its doors in Tel Aviv’s Azrieli Mall, Jerusalem’s Malcha Mall and Haifa’s Grand Canyon in March, but did you know another big retail chain from America is also making a spot for itself in Tel Aviv?
A huge billboard prominently displayed on Ibn Gvirol (central street [...]
Snowy coming to Israel - and I’m not talking about the weather!
Just as Israel wakes up this morning to some snowy landscapes (yes, snow in the Holy Land!), what could be more appropriate than to hear the news that legendary guitarist Snowy White is to play a concert in Tel Aviv at the end of March? Oh yes, as the news that Santana canceling his Tel [...]

Santana cancels Tel Aviv concert
Guitar legend Carlos Santana tonight canceled his summer gig in Tel Aviv, thanks largely to a busy schedule which has meant the reorganizing of a few shows and the canceling of some. Israel was one of the unlucky ones.
