What is women’s empowerment in here in Israel? It’s women skyrocketing to new heights in business, the army, and in society in general. It’s women supporting one another to be anything and everything they want to be, shaping the future of Israel. Women’s empowerment is also looking at the darker side of things: the areas in which women are still struggling in our culture and identifying areas for improvement. This month, in honor of International Women’s Day, we’re diving into all aspects of women’s empowerment here in Israel.

We love to celebrate the beauty of Israeli nature all year long, but the ultimate highlight is in January, the month when we celebrate Tu B’shvat. “The New Year of the Trees” as it’s called in Hebrew, Israelis take the opportunity to plant trees, eat fruits (both dried and fresh) and to raise ecological awareness. The timing of Tu B’shvat couldn’t be better, as Israelis flock to the gorgeous sites throughout the country in the comfortable weather and enjoy everything that our country has to offer. This month, we’re sending you our favorite tastes and sights from Israeli nature. You’ll feel like you’re sitting in the middle of one of our forests, we promise.
