Adventure in an Israeli kitchen |
If you think of Israeli food, falafel and humus might come to your mind first.
In his cooking workshop Avner Shai showed us the diversity of Israel’s national cuisine.
Before preparing a delicious meal, we were given an introduction on the different kinds of flour and other ingredients for baking a loaf of bread. The bread we baked we dedicated to a co - volunteer present, whom we got to know better after a good conversation in Avner’s living room.
Then we started preparing an appetizer, a main course and a dessert in small groups. During cooking the „chef“ gave useful advice how to add more flavour and how to maintain our cooking skills and timing. It was a wonderful and delicious evening!

The Groundbreaking Ceremony |
For more than ten years Nes Ammim has planned the building of a mixed neighbourhood for Jewish and Arab families, who are willing to live in peaceful co-existence. On 8th of November the „Groundbreaking Ceremony“ took place by a symbolic digging. This first step of the Land Development Project was celebrated with inhabitants of Nes Ammim and of surrounding villages, representatives of the local government and of the German and Dutch embassies and the project leaders from the building company. In the speeches it was stressed that this will not only be a land development project, but hopefully also a dialogue - developing initiative. The Nes Ammim community hopes to get a new impulse and to become more vital and colourful through the new residents of the extended village.
