I have nothing to hide, but let's face it, the security officials love to make a score out of nothing. Maybe they should question their President instead?

When you enter, it is best to say you are merely on vacation or sight-seeing. I arrived at 4 in the morning so I got through without a word. If you are planning on working in the Occupied territories, do NOT tell them, as they will send you directly back to where ever you came from. Also, if you plan on traveling to Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Indonesia or Malaysia soon, have them stamp a seperate piece of paper because these countries don't recognize Israel and will not let you in if the stamp is on your passport. When you leave through Tel Aviv, tell them the truth (but the whole truth really isn't necessary). They asked me if I spoke arabic, they wanted names of people I met and they asked me if I was aware that there was a war going on (a bit silly, huh?).




If you haven't heard of Yehoram Gaon and his music CD, you will enjoy some Judeo Spanish music known as Ladino.

Or you can also look for music CDs from Karen Hecht.

Shomerit Yisrael - Guardian of Israel

As always, we keep the wish for peace in Israel deeply in our hearts. This piece was inspired by a trip my son Michael and grandson Ezra made to Israel. A dream inspired this illumination revealing that from the hearts and souls of women, we will be blessed with peace. It is framed in a

Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia located on the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. The West Bank and Gaza Strip are also adjacent. With a population of about 7.28 million, the majority of whom are Jews, Israel is the world’s only Jewish state. It is also home to Arabs, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Samaritans, as well as other religious and ethnic minority groups.

The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), a concept central to Judaism for over 3000 years. After World War I, the League of Nations approved the British Mandate of Palestine with the intent of creating a “national home for the Jewish people.” In 1947, the United Nations approved the partition of Palestine into two states, one Jewish and one Arab. On May 14, 1948 the state of Israel declared independence in accordance with the UN decision and this was followed by a war with the surrounding Arab states, which refused to accept the plan. The Israelis were subsequently victorious in a series of wars confirming their independence and expanding the borders of the Jewish state beyond those in the UN Partition Plan. Since then, Israel has been in conflict with many of the neighboring Arab countries, resulting in several major wars and decades of violence that continue to this day. Since its foundation, Israel’s boundaries and even the State’s very right to exist have been subject to dispute, especially among its Arab neighbors. However, Israel has signed peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, and efforts are being made to reach a permanent accord with the Palestinians.

Israel is a representative democracy with a parliamentary system and universal suffrage. The Prime Minister serves as head of government and the Knesset serves as Israel’s legislative body. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, the nation’s economy is estimated as being the 44th-largest in the world.Israel ranks high among Middle Eastern countries on the bases of human development, freedom of the press, and economic competitiveness.Jerusalem is the country’s capital, seat of government, and largest city, while Israel’s main financial center is Tel Aviv.
