A nature hike trough  Lajish, central Israel This area's ground is composed by a first layer of hard rock. Below this layer a soft layer that is easy to excavate.  That's the reason that more than 3000 (three thousand) man-made caves are found in the Lajish area. The caves served as cemeteries, olive oil mills, columbarium's, etc., and in times of trouble served as shelters . They were built beginning thousands of years ago and in use till the end of the crusader's times.   The famous Guvrin Caves National Park (recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage) are part of this but I will refer to them in a special post. The ruins of Tel Lajish, an ancient Judean fortified city will also be postponed.  The soil was not cultivated during generations and only sheeps and goats used the land. The population was minimal.

 La Filarmonica de Israel A little history trough music and photos I like to keep. And also some "invited music houses". Can see that the original name of the orchestra was "The Palestine Orchestra". In 1948 it still had that name. In those days the Jews were Palestinians and the Arabs, well, Arabs. After Ben Gurion decided that to revert to the original name (like in Hebrew) Israel, the Jews were Israelies and the Arabs, slowly, became Palestinians. Before tonigh's concert (17 May 2018). The house and it's reflection on the pool. Arturo Toscanini and the orchestra in Tel Aviv 1936. The first musicians were refugees from Central and East Europe. Bronislaw Huberman and Arturo Toscanini. In Hebrew the name of the orchestra is Eretz Israel Orchestra. First concert in Cairo in 1946.
