Jerusalem, Israel – what is really happening
Recent rains have not produced any rainbows to photograph,
but in honor of the holiday of Tu B’Shvat, the fifteen day of the month Shevat,
the New Year of Trees…
we present a rainbow of colors in Jerusalem.
Red,
orange,
yellow,
green,
blue,
indigo,
violet,
purple,
more purple,
so many shades of purple–
all can be found on the streets of Jerusalem.
May it be a good year for the trees and for all.
Happy Tu B’shvat!
The Eastern United States has had record amounts of snow,
more white stuff than they know what to do with;
in Jerusalem, Israel we have some new white stuff too – flowers.
With high temperatures, it feels like summer.
So for those in the snow, which after the first day is turning grey,
here is a little color from Jerusalem; orange,
purple,
green and yellow,
and blue.
All things considered, we would so much rather be here.
