Open Air Music Theatre, Jerusalem
There are many Festivals and High Holidays in Israel. This particular photograph was taken after Passover and during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. The open-air music theatre and restaurant is situated just off the main section of Jaffe Road in Jerusalem. A jazz concert is playing and dinner is being served. The night air is a balmy 20 degrees and the atmosphere is relaxed. The colourful umbrellas contrast brightly against a black skyline.
The harp in the water fountain is an interesting show piece, lit up with lights. The Hebrew word kinnor means a harp or lyre and is made famous in the Bible because of David who played it so beautifully in the courts of King Saul. And not only was David an expert harpist, psalmist and composer, but his skill as a musician provided healing music used in relaxation therapy.
So, in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and so many other places in Israel, people eat and fellowship during the many Festivals. No wonder Israel is considered one of the happiest nations on earth.

Israel-©-MEA-20170920-(N86)–12-Tribes-12-Benjamin
Tribe of Benjamin
Benjamin was the youngest of the twelve sons of Jacob whose mother was Rachel. He was Joseph’s brother, and like his brother, played an important role in the history of the Nation of Israel. Jacob gave him this blessing, ”Benjamin is a ravenous wolf, devouring the prey in the morning, and dividing the spoil at night.” The symbol of Benjamin was a wolf. The tribe of Benjamin fulfilled Jacob’s prophesy by becoming extremely killed warriors, being skilled archers and slingers, said to be able to short at a hair and never miss.
Their lands were situated in the middle of the other Tribes and close to Jerusalem, which was good for both agriculture and trade.
Descendants of Benjamin included King Saul, the Prophet Samuel, Queen Esther and the Apostle Paul (Rabbi Sha’ul), who each demonstrate the inherent strength of the Tribe of Benjamin.
Log in next week for a new picture of Israel accompanied by many interesting facts about this amazing land.
