About

Hello to all visitors…welcome to my blog, I’m Isragirl, I live in Tel Aviv, Israel but I love to travel and been around the world. While travelling I’ve discovered that friendly tips from local people can be better than any written travel guide, and so I’ve decided to write a blog about Israel to help those thinking of coming to the Holy land.

Israel is a captivating place, it has a fascinating history enchanting old cities, beautiful scenery, superb beaches, warm climate, friendly population and wild nightlife. This small country will steal your heart away…. (you can count on the isragirls to do that…). Enjoy!!!

Faces and Places of 21 century Israel

I have to admit that this video is a little too sweet for me. It is a soft introduction to Israel and if fun to watch but I cant help but think that there are less beautiful places in Israel and even less beautiful faces and they are too a part of 21 century Israel. But Like I mentioned, Its so very sweet.

Israel is celebrating its 60 Birthday this year and this clip is one of many videos made and uploaded on Youtube for the occasion. It is a happy video, full of optimism and hope, and since its not polite to be rude to someone on her birthday – we will just add our wishes and leave it at that….

Cool Facts About Israel

Check out these two sweet clips by Hollyyyyy, a local patriot who took it upon him self to educate people about Israel and it’s achievements…. I am not sure he got all his facts right (e.g. the windows xp development) but most of the info presented on the videos is correct and even I find it encouraging when ever my country disappoints me….

I know these cool facts about Israel are not going to make you come here, but I its good to be reminded, every once in a while, of our holiday options… Some people dream all their lives of coming to Israel, to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, to the Sea of Galilee or to Nazareth. Others herd of Tel Aviv’s nightlife or Eilat’s worm winter… Israel is more then a few cool facts and the only way to discover it is to book a flight and hop over for a visit.

    Hi Isragirl!
    I’m delighted to have found your site on BlogCatalog !

    I have another site at http://chickensoupandboerewors.blogspot.com (or access it from the Blogroll on my site), where I started blogging my letters home from Israel when I was there in the ’80s (on kibbutz). I don’t really promote the site – it’s more a personal thing for me to remember.

    Anyway, I’ll be following your blogs with great interest. I still miss your land very much.

    Hello Isragirl,

    I have promoted your “Jewish Harvest Festival: Shavuot Long Weekend” on my blog/website in Chicago. Indeed, the celebration of Shavuot is this weekend. I love Achinoam Nini; I am particularly fond of her song (הוא (בואי כלה

    Next weekend on Sunday, 15 June 2008, I am going to be with friends at the Greater Chicago Jewish Festival where we expect to have 30,000 people in attendance. See (http://www.pocet.org/).

    Noa is a good source of relaxation due to the nature of my work. I have traveled in Israel; I have encountered terrorism firsthand in Jerusalem. We plug away from the US to do all we are able to support Israel. I have been asked to go on a mission to Sderot with a group of leaders from the US later this summer.

    You have a really cool website!

    Shalom,

    Eric Voogd

      Its completly safe to visit Israel in general and Tel Aviv especially. The Dead Sea is also very relaxing, as is the Galilee. Jerusalem has its problems every once in a while, but I wouldnt miss it as a tourist if I came to Israel, after all the chances of getting hurt in a terrorist attack in Israel, is still lower than getting killed in a car accident….
