A beautiful shot of Ein Gedi in the Spring ​

My beloved to me is a spray of henna blooms From the vineyards of Ein Gedi Song of Songs 1:14 (The Israel Bible™) esh-KOL ha-KO-fer do-DEE lee b’-khar-MAY ayn GE-dee Ein Gedi is located on the western shores of the Dead Sea. It is a lush oasis to this day, providing an abundance of water in a hot climate, surrounded in all directions by arid desert regions. According to the Vilna Gaon, this verse hints to the days of Yehoshua, when the Children of Israel entered Eretz Yisrael. Located near the Jordan River, Ein Gedi is near the border that the Israelites crossed upon entering the land. Just as the henna tree was a permanent fixture of this region, Hashem’s presence became a permanent fixture on earth when the People of Israel entered the Land of Israel as a nation for the first time. Passover is over and we now enter the summer months in Israel, when the land is fully blooming. While we can’t enjoy them in person this year, we can still share these beautiful pictures!​

A boat peacefully glides along the Sea of Galilee ​

And he said, “Thus said Hashem: This wadi shall be full of pools II Kings 3:16 (The Israel Bible™) va-YO-mer KOH a-MAR a-do-NAI a-SOH ha-NA-khal ha-ZEH gay-VEEM gay-VEEM When the kings and their armies face death due to lack of water, Elisha prophesies that the valley will be filled with pools of water. Thus, they will be saved from death, and will be able to quench their thirst. There have been many times in history, from biblical through modern times, when the People of Israel needed miracles in order to have sufficient water. The most famous biblical example is the rock that provided water for the Israelites in the desert. In modern times, one of the many miracles in the creation and prospering of the State of Israel has been the ability to find sufficient water to literally make the desert bloom. For example, Israeli farmers have pioneered innovative drip irrigation methods that have allowed Israel to become leaders in agriculture. Today, Israel is literally overflowing with water as the Kinneret, Israel’s main water source, has almost completely filled.​

From tough thrillers to whimsical comedies: how Israeli TV became a force to be reckoned with
This small, mysterious country is now making dramas that the whole world wants to watch. Ed Power explains why.

The third series of Fauda has just arrived on Netflix

For many years, Nordic noir was the dominant force in foreign-language television. Hits such as The Bridge and Borgen wooed British audiences with their melancholic landscapes, taut dialogue and impressive knitwear.

But this small-screen pre‑eminence has been replaced by offerings from a country that could not be further removed from the introversion and cautious pacing of Nordic TV. Israel is in some ways the anti-Scandinavia. The weather is hot, the people outspoken, the history bloody and disputed.

Yet as a source of must-see television, the country has emerged as an international force to be reckoned with. And it has done so while avoiding becoming locked into a particular genre. Nordic TV can often seem to consist of different flavours of the same fatalistic murder mystery format. In Israel, by contrast, diversity is the watchword. From action to comedy via human-interest drama, anything goes....
