We try and go every year before sukkot to wonder the streets of Jerusalem. The preparation for sukkot is a really special time.
Sukkot of different sizes and locations. The colors, the vibe
I highly recommend it if you're around, no need for a guide. Just walk around

I wished the IDF officers I guided today at the Shuk, that just as the coffee and ice cream we ended with, they too will have a strong, flavorful and sweet year.
That their soldiers and them will do meaningful things and come home safe

Here are some things you can do with kids in the north of Israel.
Taking into consideration that traveling with three generations isn't easy.
Different points of interest, attention and ability could be challenging, but this time could also be so rewarding and create life time memories and family experiences.

* A driver/guide makes it much easier and allows parents to focus on the kids and their experience
* Because it's summer time, every day includes a water activity
* Days are planned to be fun and educational, and aimed for the whole family to enjoy.

Friday at the Kotel, and in fact the whole shabbat, was filled with all sorts of interesting meetings in Jerusalem, crossing paths with different people that happens only in Jerusalem

What do we know about the tradition of putting notes in the Kotel? When does it start? What do people write in them?
Have you noticed the writings etched in the wall?
When you look carefully at the Western wall, you notice names of people written on the stones. They are higher than the level of the plaza today as they were done when the surface where Jews were praying was higher, before 1967.
Most of them are written in Hebrew, names of people to pray for.
They are found all along the Western and also the southern wall. No one really knows how old are the earliest ones, but at least several of hundreds of years.
It's probably the source of the tradition of writing notes.

It's interesting to try and identify the names and maybe find some stories of the Jews who visited the wall.

I would ask them what they were praying for?
And what do you pray for?

One of my favorite hikes near Jerusalem is Sataf, especially around this time of year when the rains have come and flowers start showing. Nature is doing its thing.

When hiking and seeing nature in Israel we can understand the Tanach (Bible) much better as it was written in these places and relates to the nature of the land.
Probably one of my favorite psalms is 128.
שִׁיר הַמַּעֲלוֹת:

אַשְׁרֵי כָּל-יְרֵא ה' הַהֹלֵךְ בִּדְרָכָיו.

יְגִיעַ כַּפֶּיךָ כִּי תֹאכֵל, אַשְׁרֶיךָ וְטוֹב לָךְ.

אֶשְׁתְּךָ כְּגֶפֶן פֹּרִיָּה בְּיַרְכְּתֵי בֵיתֶךָ:

בָּנֶיךָ כִּשְׁתִלֵי זֵיתִים סָבִיב לְשֻׁלְחָנֶךָ.

הִנֵּה כִי-כֵן יְבֹרַךְ גָּבֶר יְרֵא ה' .

יְבָרֶכְךָ ה' מִצִּיּוֹן וּרְאֵה בְּטוּב יְרוּשָׁלִָם כֹּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיךָ.

וּרְאֵה בָנִים לְבָנֶיךָ: שָׁלוֹם, עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל.

Blessed the man who fears God.
The blessing is that you should eat the fruit of your labor, be prosper and blessed.
It continues to to one of my favorite images - your children will be like olive shoots around your table.
What a beautiful picture of a large family sitting around the table, just like the olive tree in this picture that is surrounded by its shoots.

It ends with the blessings of Zion and to see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life. I posted also the picture of Jerusalem we saw from the distance.

May you live to see your children’s children.
peace be on Israel. Shalom Al Israel
