With some of the cast in shelters, and most living the high-life in the capitals of Western debauchery, we present a collection of “vatacountry” segments, in which each of us describe something that surprised and amazed us, delighted and amused us, in our day-to-day lives in Israel. As if to say, “Times were better once, and they’ll be better again soon.”
Dancing the Ethiopian shoulder shake on Sigd
Don discusses the Ethiopian holiday of Sigd; Eilon tells us about his very erudite taxi driver; and Noah reviews Shimon Peres’ biography of David Ben-Gurion.
Songs of Innocence and Experience
Eilon talks about the sporty Strawberry family; Miriam reviews the film ‘Invisible’; and Noah introduces us to a very precocious couple of musicians.
Family Album: Arabian Babblers and fake ski slopes
Emily talks about her experiences on the Israel Trail; Noah tells us about the time he tried to go skiing on Mt. Gilboa with his son.
A journey right back to our roots
Don takes us into total darkness; Eilon reminisces over Yaffa Yarkoni; Noah gets deep and meaningful over Vaclav Havel; and Don visits the Dead Sea Scrolls.
