Israel: Wonders, Pleasures, Adventures (With A Trip To Petra, Jordan) -- And An Israeli Song!

Send us a text

Israel offers energy -- from its ancient wonders to the adventures and celebrations of its vibrant present. Dana Anesi, who has lived and studied in Israel, shares both the dynamic pleasures and the historical treasures.

Beyond the cities of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv,  we talk of northern Israel, including the city of Haifa, and the beauty and adventures of the Galilee.  We then go south to the sands of both the desert and the Red Sea, the fort at Masada in the Negev, and Eilat's Med beaches.

From there we take a side trip to Petra, in Jordan, one of the new Wonders of the World. We go on to discuss the greatness of Israeli food, the idea of the kibbutz, and varied Israeli adventures.

Lea and Dana share special memories of Israel, and then, Dana sings an Israeli song!
