Video dispatch 23: A nice moment in the afternoon

A NICE MOMENT IN THE AFTERNOON

[Note by Tom Gross]

These Middle East dispatches often contain depressing items, and indeed two such dispatches will be posted here, later this weekend.

Israel, in particular, is subjected to relentless, sometimes fabricated, and often totally out of context criticism by respectable Western journalists, academics and artists.

Here is something more fun. From yesterday afternoon in the Neve Tzedek district of Tel Aviv:

 

A PROPOSAL IN NEVE TZEDEK


 

OPERA AMONG THE SHOPPERS OF TEL AVIV

Here is another uplifting video (which I posted before, here).

The Friday morning food market at Tel Aviv’s Dizengoff shopping center.


 

L’CHAIM, TO LIFE!

And on the theme of weddings, here is another uplifting video. (I have also posted this before, here).

From a Catholic Puerto Rican wedding in the United States:
