Israel - select pics - batch 3

To start off batch 3, here's a shot of a cat near Kever David. She was trying to nap when we showed up, but the gaggle of American tourists did not make that very easy.


Barry in Tzfat. This is the first of three shots of Barry in this batch of photos. Exciting, isn't it?


A weird statue at the children's section of the Israel museum. There is a slide on the back.


The Dalton Winery. While everyone was sipping their standard samples of chardonnay and merlot, the mashgiach hooked me up with an exquisite muscato. Simply delightful.


Singers perform on Yom Yerushalayim.


When hiking in Israel, it is always a good idea to avoid landmines.


Barry and his father's cousin, Rita Cohen. She is one generous, classy lady. When Barry and I stayed at her home in Ramat-Aviv, she and her husband Daniel treated us as if we were their own children. "I wish my parents treated me that way" Barry remarked.


Why do kaddish when you can do Kodak?


The hotel room that I shared with Noam Ami and Dave Shapero. It wasn't always this messy. I swear!


One of the Birthright guards. He went from being a soldier armed with an M-16 to being a hired guard armed with a pea-shooter. Thats gotta be rough.


"I love Massada THIIIIIIS much!"


Bedouin banjo breakdown.


Beauty.

A fourth batch of pics is coming through the pipeline. Check back regularly for more pics, as well as general Shul of Rock goodness.
