ReplyDeleteThe Kite festival is a lot of fun, with things to do for all, from little ones to adults. It takes place in P'nei Kedem (south of Tekoa).

It acts as a fundraiser for the town (which has something like 19 or so families, all of whom must work quite hard to bring the festival off).
however, if anyone goes to the kite festival, make sure to bring your own kite. last year, even though they advertised "DIY," they ran out of kite kits rather early. sort of a waste to drive all that way and not have anything to do once you get there.
ReplyDeleteChomesh on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteParade in Jerusalem on Tuesday. Two extremes.
Sukkah made of candy at the Jerusalem municipality. I actually heard one of the people in charge say, "Diabetics should stay away." But the Municipality sukkah in the past has included the finalists in a model sukkah competition and those are usually interesting. Jameel I think one year someone made a sukkah in an ambulance.
