The Jewish National Fund of Canada's new educational site focuses on Israel's landscape and heritage. Remnants of ancient wine cisterns and utensils can be found scattered throughout the country. The modern wine industry was re-established over one hundred years ago. In 1882, Baron Edmund de Rothschild introduced French vine strains to the settlers in Israel, as well as glass factory plants for the manufacture of wine. He established wine cellars in Rishon Le Zion and Zichron Ya'akov which are fully operative today.
Some wineries also bottle natural olive oil of high quality.
The Circassians Home Page I reaaly enjoyed visiting this site. A tale unfolds about a little known community in northern Israel. The Circassians are a very colorful people. Great recipes, music, and traditions. Check it out you'll have a hard time leaving.
