As you may know, last month I traveled to the US in order to present my work with @TheKotel at the #140conf NYC. While I was there, I got a bit home-sick. This feeling led me to reflect on bigger issues. This video blog is the product. I filmed it in my hotel room (at the Roger Smith), the first place I got comfortable enough to take out the camera and say what’s on my mind & heart. Please watch and share your thoughts in the comments (or on Twitter, or anywhere else really ).
One of the most common misconceptions about Israel is that it’s just one big desert, and camels are roaming the streets as they are the main means of transportation over here. Well, that’s far from the truth. Yes, Israel has desert-like regions, but it has got a lot more to offer. A ski resort, for instance. (Yes, a ski resort).
Here are a few pictures taken a few days ago by Dvir Reznik that went up north to the Hermon to ski, and of course had to tweet about it. Dvir was kind enough to let me use these pictures he took, so here you go (Click to enlarge):
I hope to be able to bring you more photos like these soon.
Here’s something for you sports fans: NBA star Amare Stoudemire is currently spending some time in Israel these days, and he seems to enjoy every minute of his trip! Here’s an interview he gave, speaking about his connection to Judaism, Israel, and his experiences touring the Holy-Land. It’s a fun interview to watch, because in a very simple, down-to-earth manner, Amare is giving us some perspective about our lives and how we connect to our roots. Enjoy:
I know how much you like seeing pictures from the Holy Land (here’s our Gallery), so I when I saw the beautiful pictures my friend Anastasia took in the Golan Heights, I jumped at the chance to bring you some landscape magic. Here are the pictures (beautiful, aren’t they?), and my many thanks to Anastasia: (click on a photo to enlarge)
