Last Days in Israel
Friday through Monday, 1-4 July 2011: In my last few days in Israel I traveled around more by spending Shabbat with cousins near Netanya, hiking in the Banias (Hermon Stream) State Park, and walking around Tel Aviv.
Day Trip to the North
Tuesday, 21 June 2011: On our last tiul we traveled the northernmost tip of Israel where we learned a bit of history before hiking along (and through) Nahal Hatzbani and went kayaking along the Jordan.
Trip to Nahal El Al
Friday and Saturday, 10-11 June 2011: A friend on the Ulpan and I went hiking on the El Al Stream (Nahal El Al) in the southern Golan Heights. The nature here never fails to impress me!
The Band
A more-or-less typical rehearsal with the guys :)
Weekend in Nordia
Friday and Saturday, 3-4 June 2011: I spent Shabbat with a new friend and her family in Moshav Nordia, located north of Tel Aviv.
Second Day Trip to Tel Aviv
Tuesday, 31 May 2011: On our fourth tiul we again went to Tel Aviv, but this time we went to the Diaspora Museum, the Palmach Museum (I didn't take pictures), and spent some time at the shuk which, on that day, also had a giant art fair.
Chevi and Gabbi's Wedding
Thursday, 2 June 2011: I had the wonderful opportunity to go to an Israeli wedding, and what a wedding it was!
Day Trip to Tel Aviv
Tuesday, 17 May 2011: The third Ulpan tiyul (trip), this time to Tel Aviv and Jaffa where we learned about its history, saw many of its "firsts" and did some requisite shopping at the shuk.
Yom Ha'Atzmaut
White and blue permeate the scenery on Israel's Independence Day. Pictures from around the kibbutz.
More hiking!
Saturday, 8 May 2011: A few photos from Haifa where I stayed at a hostel on Friday night, then from my hike with a friend along the Amud River in the Galilee.
Pesach Seder
Monday, 18 April 2011: A small collection of photos showing the set-up for the seder at Kibbutz Naan, and a few of my fellow ulpanistim during the meal.
Pre-Pesach Trip to the North
Wednesday through Sunday, 13-17 April 2011: This large album features pictures from the many different places I visited and hiked through during my vacation from the Ulpan.
Cooking Day - יומ בישול
Tuesday, 12 April 2011: For class today we learned some words to get around the kitchen, then split into groups to make a fabulous Israeli breakfast complete with tehini, vegetable salad, fresh lemonade with mint, falafel, shakshouka, and brownies!
Day Trip to Carmel
Monday, 28 March 2011: Our Ulpan's second day trip, this time to the area of the Carmel Mountains where we went to Machaneh Meapilim, hiked on the mountains and saw a cave, had a feast and music at a Druzi home, and shopped at a touristy shook in another predominantly Druzi town.
Purim Weekend
Friday, 18 March 2011 to Sunday, 20 March 2011: Pictures from before and after Shabbos in Jerusalem, then Sunday in Tel Aviv.
I'm going to the Opera!
Sunday, 13 March 2011: I joined a friend in Tel Aviv for a wonderful evening of music and culture at the Tel Aviv Opera where we saw Shostakovitch's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk District.
Petting Zoo Family Carnival
Thursday, 3 March 2011: On the kibbutz and next to the Ulpan is a petting zoo which was transformed into a carnival atmosphere for one evening, giving the Ulpan students an opportunity to informally meet many of the families on the kibbutz
Day Trip in Jerusalem
Monday, 28 February 2011: The Ulpan was taken on a trip to Jerusalem where we went to Yad Vashem, the Time Elevator, and the Old City, to name a few.
Oh, look there! And there!
A smaller album of miscellaneous sites around the kibbutz, including the Ulpan Musikah.
Kibbutz Art and Sculpture
This album features photographs of many of the sculptures and art projects found around the kibbutz. Occasionally updated.
Nature's Beauty...and a bit of narcissism
As the name suggests, this selection of photos is predominately of flowers and other nature scenes, though my roommate and I also took pictures of each other.
Shabbos Walk
Saturday, 12 February 2011: My first Shabbat on the kibbutz I took plenty of pictures of my new surroundings. Enjoy!
