Israel votes on Tuesday 27 October. Most people get the day off, so the roads go quiet and the parks and beaches fill up. Tourist sites stay open and intercity buses and trains are free. https://t.co/4GPQm839Lv
Simchat Torah closes out the autumn holidays here: dancing, flags, the Torah paraded through the streets. Wrote up what the day is about and what it is like to actually be in Israel for it. https://t.co/3WXJ1dIYxh
Sukkot is coming: the week-long Feast of Booths, when sukkahs (temporary huts) go up on balconies, streets and restaurants. It's a joyful, hospitable week, and the middle days are a good stretch for touring, most people are off and about. https://t.co/YcOclIG8qG
Yom Kippur's the one day you'll see nobody on the roads here. No flights land or take off, cars stay parked, shops shut. Kids take over the motorways on bikes. Here's what it's about and how to experience it if you're visiting. https://t.co/W3nckN64cx
Spent the last field day of my culinary tourism course in the Carmel Market with Nurit Goren. How to read a market, why the hummus place with the ark isn't what it looks like and what a horse's saddle has to do with a herring. https://t.co/yhJufNouxq
Rosh Hashanah falls soon and much of Israel pauses for two quiet days: apples and honey, the shofar, family meals. If your trip lands on it, here's what to expect and plan around. https://t.co/lJm6IiBOMe
Day four of my culinary tourism course took us north to the Western Galilee: a widow's olives in a Crusader village, Israel's first boutique distillery and a hummus place named for a father who never saw it open. https://t.co/2OHHgIcH9R
Day three of the culinary tourism course was meant to be a wine day around Zichron Ya'akov. What I actually remember is a scorned grape, a queue for brisket, a bar mitzvah spent in a brewery and a horse farm that's now a restaurant. https://t.co/rKWIQZB693
First field trip of the culinary tourism course I'm on took us round the Sharon: an organic farm run by an ex-lawyer, a cheese-making family split across the religious divide, olive oil and a boutique winery reviving a forgotten grape. https://t.co/vYLuXS42sb
Five days on Israel's only culinary tourism course for guides. One idea stuck with me more than the rest, and it's already changed how I run food stops on my tours. https://t.co/wJ1Q5UvHfu
Behind the food, there are always people. Day one of my culinary course was in a classroom (no cooking), and it changed how I think about a food stop. That line is one I still use with guests. https://t.co/L6v1VzYAnz
I love food, and over the years it became a central part of my tours. So I went and took Israel's only culinary tourism course for guides. Here's why I did it. https://t.co/vSdNOlZaDk

@British_Airways booked an avios flight next week w Cathay through you. Putting in passport info and it seems the booking doesn't contain my middle name. Is this an issue?
It's official - Israel has the lowest amount of dietary related deaths of any country in the world! The food here is not only delicious, it's also good for you. https://t.co/0fjtSOsCws
I’ve been fascinated by the Ethiopian Jewish community for years - ever since first meeting the new immigrants on a trip to #Israel in the early 90s. Over the years I’ve had some opportunities to partner with... https://t.co/yEXMlgyvGn
Driving down the ancient road known as the Red Ascent connecting #Jerusalem and #Jericho (cf Luke 10:30). Love this #desert scenery. https://t.co/nIiLYOyTdf
