Before you read my words of wisdom here are a few different views of Israel

Israel is a tiny country, the size of New Jersey or Wales, but the variety to be found here is enormous. Take a look at my picture gallery to see what I mean.

Millions of trees have been planted in Israel. the once malaria filled swamplands and arid deserts have bloomed again like in Bible times thanks to the dedication of the Jews who returned to our homeland. And we will continue to plant, even when our enemies try to bring us down.

Only after an especially rainy winter can we enjoy this lovely sight.

Aretz yaffa v'gam porachat

Don't forget to click on the photos if you want to see them large!


A shepherd watches his flocks just as David did three thousand years ago. Lucky for this lad that he doesn't have to fight off the lions and the bears. (The Crusaders killed the last lion a thousand years ago, the last bear met it's end barely a century ago.)

Hard to believe - but all these trees were planted by the Jews in the last century ...

the flowers came back on their own!

although when General Avraham Yoffe deputised every child in Israel into his Army for the Protection of Wild Flowers with the words "Don't pick! Don't uproot! Don't buy! And don't sell!" their survival was assured.

What the train traveller saw ...
