Israel: Heavenly Eats in the Holy Land

I was hesitant about traveling to Israel. The security situation there is, at best, complex. But my husband had an invitation to a work event in Tel Aviv and our current policy is to go with the flow, travel-wise. So, we scrapped whatever trip idea we’d originally had for May and set off for a weekend in Jerusalem, followed by a few days in Tel Aviv. It turned out to be one of my favorite travels ever.

​Standing in the religious sites of Jerusalem is immensely humbling. Though you generally have to walk through the sometimes chaotic labyrinthine alleyways of the Old City to get to them, a visit to the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, or al-Ḥaram al-Šarīf (Temple Mount), takes you to another place and time and begs an extended moment of quiet contemplation. In Tel Aviv, everywhere I went I was greeted by a chill vibe, which, as a local taught me, can be summed up in one word: sababa. Sababa can be used in place of OK, great, alright, cool, but also captures a laid-back feeling. In Israel, I also enjoyed the food more than I have probably anywhere else. I mean, look, while it’s one of my favorite things in the world to discover cuisines that are completely unlike anything I normally eat (I’m looking at you, Prague and the West Fjords of Iceland), I like what I like and Israel had everything I like. Fresh food, ALL THE VEGETABLES, and chickpeas and falafel out the wazoo.
