Hanukah - The festival of light has some lessons for Christians 
We know that Jesus went to the Temple at Hanukah. Perhaps we Christians would be enriched if we de-emphasized the Santa Claus myths and spent some time this holiday season telling the real-life story of the Maccabees.

FEATURES:

Three Times a Charm: Christmas Celebrated in Israel Thrice by Israel's Christian Community

Israel is one of the only countries that adopted the Gregorian calendar but does not officially recognize New Year's as a holiday

Saint Mary of the Resurrection Abbey Crusaders' Emmaus
Used and reused for millennia by various conquerors, the abbey holds beneath it a unique historical tapestry
Alona Winery: Doctor, Doctor Tell Me the News...
I love finding wineries off the beaten path. By off the beaten path for me I mean wineries that haven't had much publicity in English or have been underrated by other writers who've written up their wines.

Come to the Galilee - And Get Crushed
Olives straight off the tree are inedible. Even ripe, they are bitter and hard. Realizing the true potential that lies inside the bitter and the hard, bringing out its power and using it to change the world is a tough job.
Neker Glass and Olive Shop 
Bring Jerusalem Home With Souvenirs that Evoke the Time of Jesus
Another line fracas 
I just went grocery shopping and I don't know whether to be proud of myself or ashamed. You see, I've learned how to be more assertive here in Israel and today I made use of that education.
