Water streams in Israel’s Upper-Galilee
High peaks, rivers and streams, breathtaking landscapes and evergreen forests make the Upper Galilee particularly attractive to hikers. No wonder it has been nicknamed The Israeli Tuscany.
Talk about tasty coexistence
A-Sham (“Levant” in Arabic) is the first ever Arab Food Festival in Israel.
25 chefs, Jews and Arabs, from all over the country joined together to create Arabic delicacies, such as hilbe (fenugreek seeds), habisa (a black-and-white pudding sweetened with carob juice) or haroumanieh (green lentils cooked with eggplant in pomegranate juice).
The food festival was launched during the Holiday of Holidays in the northern city of Haifa, and is the brainchild of the Arab Israeli chef Nof Atamna-Ismaeel, winner of the 2014 Israeli MasterChef.
Holiday of Holidays in Haifa
The City of Haifa, Israel’s third largest city, is a symbol of religious coexistence.
It is no surprise then that every year in December, it marks The Holiday of Holidays – a celebration of a harmonious relationship between monolithic religions of the area.
The tradition began in December 1993, a year when three holidays – Chanukah, Christmas and Ramadan – happened to take place during the same month.
Festival visitors sample traditional delights, listen to musicians perform and enjoy art shows and exhibitions.
