A People of the Land

April 20, 2025

We are very lucky to have five of the six kids home for chol hamoed, so yesterday they packed up two cars with tents, chairs and food and headed out to a camping adventure. Early in the evening, they posted an innocuous picture of themselves camping. To me, it looked like any campsite and I… Read More A People of the Land

Enjoying This Beautiful Land

February 27, 2024

It’s been hard for me to write anything for the last few months. There is simply too much to say and not enough words with which to say it. Today was a national holiday in Israel for municipal elections. These elections are taking place throughout the country, except for some northern and southern towns where… Read More Enjoying This Beautiful Land

The Beauty of the Boring Trail

April 16, 2023

A few years ago, my family of 8 started hiking the Israel Trail together. But we aren’t doing it in the traditional way, taking off for a few months at a time and hiking from one end to the other. Rather, we are using vacation time to hike as a family, starting at the very… Read More The Beauty of the Boring Trail

There Is No Wrong Way In Nature, and In Life

April 5, 2021

During our Passover vacation, we continued on our journey down the Israel Trail. We started about two years ago up at the very northern tip of the Trail and are making our way south to Eilat (eventually!) with our six kids in tow. On the first day of chol hamoed (Passover vacation) when the entire… Read More There Is No Wrong Way In Nature, and In Life

Just Call Me The Barefoot Backpacker

November 29, 2020

I’ve got terrible bunions – inherited from my mom. I figure that I’ll eventually have to go through surgery, as she has. But for now, I definitely have an interest in avoiding that route. I don’t wear heels and I’m quite sensible about my feet. My husband and I like to joke that you know… Read More Just Call Me The Barefoot Backpacker

The Trail Of Our Lives

November 17, 2019

This article first appeared in The Jerusalem Post and then in the International edition of The Jerusalem Post. Last year, my husband suggested that we start the Israel Trail as a family. His plan was to take a few days each year over Pesach and to walk together. We’ve reached the sweet spot as a… Read More The Trail Of Our Lives

4 Treasures in Northern Israel

April 30, 2019

We’ve spent a lot of time traveling around the country, but we’ve never managed to get ourselves as a family unit to Kiryat Shemona and the surrounding area. So this year, I decided that this would be our destination for Pesach (Passover). We spend a few days each chol hamoed (the interim days of Pesach)… Read More 4 Treasures in Northern Israel

The Blue Trail

April 28, 2019

It could have been the making of a great reality TV show – pit a family of 8 against poison ivy, barbed wire fences and broken trails and see if they can get out in one piece. But it wasn’t a reality TV show last week – it was just our reality. We spent three… Read More The Blue Trail
