Day Trip Idea

This is a full day trip but a good one. Get to the Beit Shemesh train station - cab for 35 shekels or 12 or 15 bus. Get on the train to the Chof Carmel stop in Haifa. It's a 1:45 trip that includes much ocean scenery. 46.50 per ticket. Seems to be the same price for adults and kids.

Change at Tel Aviv Mercaz station. It's another 45 minutes from Tel Aviv. The Chof stop is 100 yards from the beach, a gorgeous beach. Very clean. Great waves. If you go in the winter, they'll be nobody else there. Just enjoy the site of the water and the sand. The water is not cold so you could swim.





From there take a cab to the Maritime museum. 40 shekels. 10 minute trips. The cabs are at the station. Or take the 112 bus. The museum has tremendous archeology like many museums in Israel. If you love the seas, you'll enjoy this. Price is around 20 shekels per person. There are family plans.




From there walk to Eliyahu's cave. It's a hundred meters down the road and up some steps. You'll see the signs. It's pretty holy there. You'll feel it.



Then get on the the sky tram up the mountain. You'll see it overhead. Just follow the wires to the station. 29 shekels per person. You'll get a great view of the ocean. Up top are more views.






Cab back to the train station or take the 112 bus. Buy some kosher sandwiches at the station and head home.

The whole thing is around $40 per person for the day, including food. Not pennies. But it's a big, beautiful trip  - the kind you make just a few times a year. You get a religious site, education, and the big blue sea all in one day. You spare yourself a hotel, which would run you $100 bucks alone. And you don't need to own or rent a car for this.

Israel pays students to post favorable comments online.

https://www.facebook.com/FromDarknessToLightTRUTH/videos/760705497393111/ There's a few ways of spotting the paid comment makers. One is they generally go for ad homenum attacks. This one is an antisemite, that one is an enemy of Israel, this one is not qualified to speak. I also find it amusing that Noam Chomsky is considered not qualified to speak because his PhD is in linguistics but Alan Dershowitz, a trial attorney, is even though Chomsky is just brimming with relevant facts and Dershowitz is so clearly a manipulator. They are not too educated these commenters.  Also, they also never respond to educated responses because they have no response and possibly they are instructed not to respond so as not to help promote educated thought on the topic.

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions - by Megila

R. Mendel Kasher, who I find is the source of almost all the classic Zionist distortions. He was the one who made up the story of those Gedolim signing a paper was the Medinah is the aschalta degeulah, and he was the one who doctored the story of the meeting of the Moetzes Chachmei HaTorah in 1937 where he left out the poiastion of people like Rav Ahron Kotler. He wrote a book called HaTekufah heGedolah which is absolutely full of misquotes, fabrications and distortions. His deception has already been exposed and well known to those who have researched this topic. R. Zvi Weinman documented extensively the forgeries of R. Kasher - and he even challenged him in public to respond to his findings when R. Kasher was alive - in his excellent work "Mikatowitz ad 5 B'Iyar." Of course, R. Kasher did not produce any response to the evidence against him. More of R. Kasher's falsifications are exposed in the sefer "Das HaTziyonus", especially his now famous fra...

The Real Charedim

It seems sometimes in the Mistake of Israel that anybody who isn't anti-religious, which essentially is most of the country, is Charedi, ie. claims to be. Oh I'm Charedi. Oh he's Charedi. That's what one hears from people as they march along with their smart phones, flags, and blue jeans. And I won't even give you a picture of how their wives and daughters dress and conduct themselves. They are all Charedi. I suspect that they make this claim because they see that irr-Religious Zionism is so empty. Oh, they still buy into all the myths about the Mistake and the army but they see intuitively that there's nothing else there. They want to latch onto the rich life of real Charedim, and the easy way to do that is with a simple declaration. And what about most of the country being anti-religious, well that's not necessarily how they'd describe themselves. After all, some have religious brothers and sisters and grandmothers. Some are just not hostile people and...
