Chol Hamoed: Passover Vacation in Village Israel
For an afikoman prize we gave our granddaughters a donkey ride. Moshav Zanoah down the road from our apartment in Beit Shemesh had animals to pet, donkeys to ride and an inflatable castle to jump in. The whole neighborhood turned out for 10 shekels a kid.
Later we went to Park Canada near modiin for a picnic. In Israel many families take vacation during chol hamoed and it really felt like a national festival. All the picnic tables in the shade were taken, so we spread a blanket under some trees.
Next stop was the new central park in Modiin. This was the first time the new artificial lake was full and paddleboats were operating so the park was full of young secular israel families from Modiin and large Charedi families from nearby Kiryat Sefer and Modiin Ilit.
We had to pass on the paddleboats, but the girls had a great time watching the kites flying. After a quick mincha we headed back to Ramat Beit Shemesh where we had a BBQ with friends and family.
If you can't move here yet, then plan your next vacation around Passover and Sukkot in Israel. We can help you find a rental apartment. Better yet, buy your own home and if you don't come to visit for a particular holiday, we can help rent it out for you.

Returning to Modiin after a day of cycling around Jerusalem, photographing neighborhoods, radio tuned to Reshet Gimel (reception permitting) and listening to this inspiring song (anyone able to ID it for me?). Enjoy!

Jerusalem to Beit Shemesh via Beitar Ilit and the Gush
We picked up Leah at Malcha Mall in Jerusalem and decided it was easier to drive home to Beit Shemesh via Beitar Ilit and the Gush instead of going back through the city and via Highway one. Even though Miriam took these photos from the back seat of our speeding Hyundai through the glass they are stunning. We didn't know the way, so we followed the Ilit bus through Gilo to Beitar through the tunnels south of Jerusalem until the main roadblock (border crossing?). The contrast between the breathtaking scenery, barbed wire, quaint arab villages and the gorgeous sunset is haunting.
Tel Aviv Saturday Night at the Hilton
When Shabbat goes out early in the winter, it's easy to meet friends visiting from New York at the Hilton on the beach in Tel Aviv. We shared some champagne in the Executive Lounge on the 17th floor overlooking the Mediterranean. Lechaim!

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life. $4m restoration
