Opera Flash Mob in Tel Aviv!

A few days ago this clip hit YouTube and has since become a bit of a viral monster. It features the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra doing a flash mob-type thing in Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff Center, one of Tel Aviv’s biggest and most popular shopping centers. Nice clip, which mixes opera with food, since the clip was [...]

A slice of life in Tel Aviv

Another awesome video to get you all loved up about Tel Aviv. This is another great clip filmed by Yossi Shalev, who has captured the spirit of a lazy Tel Aviv afternoon, as the sun shines, coffee and beer is drunk, papers read, people mingle and passers by just…well, pass on by. Again the action [...]

Israeli band Izabo goes iPhone crazy!

One of my favorite Israeli bands (and yes, you actually get to really like one or two after a few years here) is Izabo. They started out a few years ago and I actually caught them live (as a support act for a bigger Israeli band) when they were starting out on their road to [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
