Doreen in Ethiopia

From our Old Pictures Collection: Doreen has twice visited Ethiopia. On this occasion, in 2004 she saw the Blue Nile Waterfall. The Blue Nile originates in Ethiopia and is the the main tributary of the Nile River, supplying it with 60% or more of its water.

THIS WEEK'S NEWS

Tomorrow is Shavuot, the holiday celebrating the ancient Israel agrarian customs of celebrating the harvest and the first fruits, as well as the giving of the Torah. In modern Israel it is customary to eat milk products on ther eve and day of the holiday, and religious Jews also spend the time studying the Torah.
The "milk products" part of the holiday is problem for our vegan granddaughter Lior and at her suggestion we decided to have a vegan dinner. She prepared some dishes and Doreen even prepared a "cheese" cake that didn't contain any cheese. Surprisingly for me the food was very tasty and a good time was had by all.
There is a modern tradition at the school attended by grandchildren Maayan and Lotem Segoli. Each grade prepares a typical dance of a different decade. It is good fun and the children enjoy it very much. Pictures here. They also invite holocaust survivors to the event and have various stalls. Last year they bought computers for some of the survivors from the the money from these stalls
The success of Israel's Netta winning the the Eurovision Song Contest was big news in Israel and she gave a special open air performance in Rabin Square in Tel Aviv attended by thousands including granddaughters Loem and Zoe Segoli. See pictures of Lotem and Zoe.
