Wild New Year's Eve party held by Fun-loving and effusive Russian relatives of Sue's friends - celebrating the coming Chinese year of the goat
 

On my way to the Baha'i Gardens, I fall upon an art museum featuring an exhibition of the Jewish Avant Garde. The exhibition draws parallels between the art practices of Israeli artists and that of European artists during the early 1920s.
Works by outstanding figures include Amedeo Modigliani, Jacques Lipschitz, Natan Altman, Issachar Ryback, Sionah Taggar, Menahem Shemi, Reuven Rubin and others. Parallels can be seen between works created in Moscow, Vilna, Lodz, Berlin and Paris and in Israel.

The Tower of David is one of the most impressive examples of royal construction of the Second Temple period in Jerusalem. It stands to this day to a height of 20 m.! The three towers built by Herod and the other fortifications created a powerful, well protected fortress.
