Haifa has this great festival every saturday in December in an area called Wadi Nissnass. It is a loud hectic amazing fusion of Muslim, Jewish and Christian traditions. People sing songs, roast chestnuts, sell everything you can think of and even have snakes to take pictures with...
Me, Jackie, and Hannah went with our adopted family from the kibbutz. They took us to the festival and then to dinner at this delicious, but tiny restaurant down one of the many winding alleys. It was basic middleeastern food, but the Hummus was home made and incredible, and I had the BEST lemonade I have ever tasted, it was mixed with rosewater.
kids from "seeds for peace", an organization that brings Jewish and Arab kids together for summer camp and other activities to foster understanding and peace.
