Jerusalem, Israel – what is really happening
Once in awhile we do get out of Jerusalem, Israel,
and not so far away is the road leading to the Dead Sea.
Here the marker for sea level is on the right side
and the iconic camel is on the left side of the road.
And the view of the Dead Sea?
Decide for yourself.
Is it any wonder that so many people from around the world
come to vacation at the Dead Sea?
Shabbat shalom!
Even after a really busy day, I could not pass up a chance to attend
the opening of a new exhibit at the Tower of David Museum.
Summer of Inspiration: “Threads” exhibit is now on view
down inside the ancient fortress of the Tower of David.
Ten Israeli fashion designers have created
original costumes around the theme of ‘Women of Jerusalem’.
There are dresses for Queen Helena
and the Queen of Sheba.
Want to try to guess who inspired this red number?
This is an outfit for Salome Alexandra
and this one for Shira.
This black and white outfit is very prim & proper
as is the dress for Hemda Ben-Yeuhda.
But this one for Melisende
and this one for Roxelana are as unusual as the names of the women.
No matter what you think of these designer fashions and the show,
I think we might all agree,
that while it is impressive by day,
as the sun sets and the lights go on,
the Tower of David is even more magnificent!
These one-of-a-kind fashions and their photographs
will be on display in the museum until October.
New threads in an ancient fortress,
where else could this be happening,
but in Jerusalem, Israel?
While President Shimon Peres visits Jordan,
there was an ad in Israeli Hebrew newspapers.
I added a few words of translation on the top,
and ask an important question of the Home Front Command
on the bottom.
They really have confidence in the health and fitness
of the Israeli population.
Looks like the safest place to be is in the desert in the Negev,
a whole 3 minutes to find shelter..
Right.
