We are in the midst of “wedding fever” at the moment.
Right after Lag B’Omer until 17 Tammuz there is a continuous stream of Jewish couples celebrating their marriage under the Chuppah.
In Israel when summer kicks in everyone knows that they can plan and hold their events outside without any possibility of having it ruined by a sudden downpour or drop in temperature. An added benefit of an outdoors celebration is that the band can play without deafening the guests and having the walls vibrate so much that normal conversation is impossible.

SKIN DEEP
As we age our skin starts to deteriorate.
Now, after many years of research, Israeli scientists believe they have discovered a solution to this age-old problem.
REVOLUTIONARY ENGINE
As petrol prices soar through the stratosphere Israeli innovators are developing a revolutionary new engine which could be the answer to all our problems.
IT’S NOT A BANK
Incorrect terminology leads to erroneous assumptions which in turn become accepted narratives.
