Passover holiday is a good opportunity for families here in Israel to spend quality time with their families and see more of the country. You know, the kinds of things most people outside of Israel get to do on Sundays I thought this would also be a good opportunity to post some photos from our travels over this holiday period. This will serve as nostalgia for those Israeli expats out there, and give the rest of you a taste of Israel. So without further ado, here are the first set of photos, which happen to have been taken from our car on the way to Beit-El for Passover. For those of you who don’t know, Beit-El is in the “disputed territories”, right next to Ramallah. Yes, I ate my meal within 20 kilometers of Yasser Afatrat! A street sign that says it all:
Expanses of land..and an approaching army jeep:
A barrier preventing cars from entering Ramallah, which you can see in the background:
An army roadblock at one of the entrances to Ramallah. I know it is hard to see, but forgive me for not wanting to get too much closer!
I plan on taking more pictures next time we drive to Beit-El, which will serve to show how much land there is, land that could easily be shared if the PLO Arabs could stand the thought of Jews living there.
