Anna Kopito, the founder of Telavivian Magazine , has shown us her Tel Aviv. She picked places with different styles, because, in her opinion, there’s no one way to define Tel Aviv and that’s what defines Tel Aviv.

The ultimate travel guide to Mitzpe Ramon by Christine Aya.

If you are visiting Israel, and planning to spend some time in the desert, make sure Mitzpe Ramon is on your list.

Snow on Mount Hermon
Snow on Mount Hermon

Israel's diverse nature, people and geography, condensed to a relatively small area, make it such a fascinating destination. Although a rare treat in a mostly hot climate, sometimes it gets cold enough for snow, especially in the North. Hermon mountain's snowy cap can be spotted from afar. It is the highest peak in Israel .

We went out to explore the old city of Akko. We walked the winding, narrow streets and climbed innumerous, steep steps to bring you our favorite accommodation options inside the ancient city walls of Akko. Staying in the old city is a very special experience particularly suited for people who prefer unconventional, slow travelling that allows to immerse in the local culture and get to know the local people.

Roasted red bell pepper spread
Roasted red bell pepper spread

My oldest daughter is a big lover of peppers, so I started making this spread especially for her. It was quite a success from the start, but lately has become even better with the addition of smoked paprika that adds a hint of a smoky-fiery flavor.

"August has passed, and yet summer continues by force to grow days. They sprout secretly between the chapters of the year, covertly included between its pages."

"For us Yodfat is the center", told me Michael Ring when I interviewed him and his wife Sivan about a year and a half ago. I have to agree. For many people living in the area Yodfat represents a place that has a core. I'm not trying to idolize, but it's a place with a history and a continuity, with a strong community and family traditions. It's a home to people that seem to have found a fine balance with their environment. ⛰ The last Make Eat Magazine newsletter issue is about Yodfat and its people, past and present, created by locals - Ava Carmel and Rani Lurie are our long-valued contributors, and Haviva Seligson is a most talented illustrator and designer around." .

Sometimes we need to disconnect in order to reconnect with what matters... our summer plans took over and we take time for a break🌞
"We love staying at home, and I love to complain that we don’t get out enough but remain at home.
