Wildflowers Bloom On Mount Arbel, Israel In The Spring
On our visit to Mount Arbel, just a 40 minute or so drive from our home in Northern Israel, we were in awe of the views, which you can see here, and in awe of the archeology, some of which you can see here, though I also realized that this was indeed a very special place as far as nature and ecosystems are concerned, as it is a plateau mountain just above the lowest fresh water lake in the world, which means all kinds of things. It is home to a diversity of plants, birds, and cliff-dwelling animals, and I did discover on the National Parks website that in fact…

A Visit To Mount Arbel On The Shores Of The Sea Of Galilee
I have passed by the cliffs of Mount Arbel numerous times, (and we even see a sliver from our home 45 minutes away) or rather many many times, and it never occurred to me that the area on the top of the mountain would be a national park, silly me. So grateful to have at last made this realization and taken some of my family for a little visit this past Passover. Wow, wow, wow, a must visit my friends! Mount Arbel is located in the eastern Lower Galilee, with monumental cliffs, and a plateau that offers a breathtaking view of the Jordan Valley, the Sea of Galilee, the Golan…

A Royal Poinciana Tree Grows In Tiberias Israel
On our little adventure to Tiberius to give my son one last hurrah at the end of his Succos vacation we made quite a few mistakes trying to reach our desired destination. One such mistake had us waiting at a bus stop in the middle of a little residential neighborhood, and me saying jokingly “the most important thing is that we get to spend this time together.” During this together time,I spotted a beautiful tree just across the street, a tropical tree mind you, the likes of which could never grow where we live, and so of course I had to take a few photos! Upon returning home I had…

Tubing In Israel On Lake Tiberius
At the end of your Succot vacation when your thirteen year old is about to have a meltdown looking at the long 6 month stretch of serious yeshiva learning that lies ahead, and he thinks his vacation wasn’t packed with enough action, well, you go against your own grain and do whatever it takes to send him off to yeshiva happy, especially if he is your baby and a bit on the young side to be away from home! What am I babbling about? First of all, I am generally not in favor of water sports that involve fast boats and noise to put it politely, I am the kayaking,…

The Sea Of Galillee (Lake Tiberius, Yom Kinneret) On A Beautiful December Afternoon
Above: The Kinneret, The Sea of The Galillee In Northern Israel, With The Golan Heights In the Background. Looking east across the lake. My daughter is on school vacation (the boys have half-days) and so we took the opportunity to take a 40 minute drive to the Holy City Of Tiberius (Tiveria) for some much needed clothes shopping for her, and fortunately I brought my camera along. And more fortunately, my husband actually stopped the car so I could get out and capture the gorgeous views over The Sea Of The Galillee, as we returned home to continue our Hanukkah celebrations. I hadn't been to the shores of the Kinneret…
