Size Doesn’t Matter - a new Israel advertising campaign

Not sure what to make of this advert, which actually promises to be the first in a series by new blog on the block Size Doesn’t Matter. I love the look and feel of the blog, though this little clip is pressing the wrong buttons. Or maybe it’s not…what do you think?

The Kylie Minogue of Israeli Pop & Rock: Ninet Tayeb

So, we’ve had the Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and even the future of Israeli rock and pop strutting their stuff on the igoogledisrael.com festival stage. Now it’s time for the Kylie Minogue of the Israeli music scene (though some might argue she’s no longer the nation’s pop princess…), Ninet Tayeb.
Ahh, Ninet, Israel’s first winner of the [...]

How Tel Aviv was built in 42 seconds!

Tel Aviv did, of course, celebrate its 100th birthday last year, amid much hullabaloo. And in tribute to the City That Never Sleep’s colorful history, a documentary was made by one of Israel’s favorite presenters, Modi Bar-On (who is perhaps known most for fronting the Champions League football magazine on Israel’s Sports Channel).

Tel Aviv goes Glee flash-mob crazy!

Tel Aviv is starting to get the flash-mob phenomena. Some might argue whether they really are flash-mob, and not just organized street dancing sessions, but following on from the Michael Jackson tribute a few weeks back, Friday was the turn of America’s new hot TV show Glee to get some street action.

Israel: the ultimate hummus warrior!

Oh yes, Israel is once again a world record holder. It took hours of blood, sweat and finger dipping tears but Israel has once again seized the record for the largest ever plate of hummus. Weighing in at over 4 tons, it smashed the previous 2 ton record held by the Lebanese and set last [...]

Ten of the greatest Israeli hits of the Noughties

As the review season hits overtime, here’s a little checklist that every music fan should be paying attention to: ten of the best tracks of the last decade (2000-2009) performed by Israeli artists. They might not be the biggest selling, and heck, not even the most critically acclaimed of the decade, but we feel these [...]

Christmas Blessing from ShimmyP

Israel’s much loved President Shimon Peres (known online as ShimmyP), has delivered a nice, warm message of peace and understanding for all those who celebrate Christmas (and I guess for all those who don’t). Bless ‘im. Merry Christmas Shimmy!

Christmas Eve in the Holy Land

Ahh, Christmas Eve is here. The chestnuts are roasting on the open fire (barbecue style with hummus on the side) and Jack Frost is nipping at my nether regions (OK, so it’s not that cold, it is Israel after all…). And Christmas being Christmas, we’re here to give! Oh yes, we’ve scoured the web and [...]

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 [...]

Lonely saxophone moment in Tel Aviv

A nice little clip of an anonymous saxophonist perched on the side of the HaYarkon river in Tel Aviv, blasting out a Sade moment as the night skyline glistens on the water. Worth watching!

Up in the skies above the Sea of Galilee

This is a great little video of a powered paraglider flying above the Sea of Galilee (or the Kinneret as it’s known in Hebrew). Some nice views of the area, though it looks like there’s a drop more water than there is today. Accompanied by a cover of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day”.

The girls of the IDF (Israeli Army)

Israel might be known as the Holy Land, but after you’ve landed you’ll soon be joining the consensus and re-terming Israel as the “Land of the Beautiful People”. And the clincher might just be all those beauties dressed up in army uniforms with M-16s slung over their shoulders. Oh yes, the girls of the IDF…
