Rain Clouds Over The Mediterranean In Northern Israel
My two teenage sons, 15 and 13 are attending a sleep-away Yeshiva about an hour’s drive from home, and we miss them dearly! They do come home every-other shabbat, and we try to visit now and then on weeks when they won’t be coming home. This week my 15 year old really sounded like he needed us to visit, which is rare, so I re-organized my schedule in order to visit them this afternoon. I was somewhat worried about driving in stormy weather, as visibility around our mountaintop city can be very low during rain, but fortunately there was a respite from all the wet weather we’ve been having, and…

A Visit To The Nahariya Boardwalk In The Winter!
Now that my 14 year old son is in sleep-away yeshiva high school in Nahariya he only comes home every other shabbat, which means that every other week we go to visit him. And I have to say I am certainly not complaining as it forces us to visit the Mediterranean Sea, and the drive across the North of the country heading west is indeed quite lovely. Yes it is true it is an hour there and an hour back, but staying connected with our son is of the utmost importance, and at times I feel so very fortunate that his yeshiva is located just ten minutes or so from…

A Visit To Rosh HaNikra, Israel On The Mediterranean Coast
Once every two weeks or so, my husband and I drive about an hour west to visit our 14 year old son who is in sleep-away Yeshiva in Nahariya. Fortunately Nahariya happens to be on the Mediterranean, and so after years of being starved of the ocean views that I crave, I am now happy as can be, as each visit we generally go for a drive and visit a site somewhere in the vicinity. This time we decided to visti Rosh HaNikra, which is less than a 15 minute drive (10km/6 miles) from the Yeshiva, and one of my very favorite places in Israel. Rosh HaNikra, “head of the…

Low Tide At Achziv On The Israeli Meditteranean Coast
We are very very busy preparing for the seven day holiday of Succot, (followed by another holiday called Simchat Torah) but I’m just popping in to share with you some recent photos of one of my most beloved spots in Israel: the rocky yet accesible coastline just above the city of Nahariya in a place called Achziv. As it turns out my fourteen year old son is now going to high school/Yeshiva in Nahariya, so while we miss him terribly, as least when we visit (on the weeks he does not come home for shabbat) this lovely spot is just about a ten minute drive from his yeshiva. So, while…
