Israel’s Independence Day Bloc Party

April 25, 2007 at 7:12 am | In Face to Face |

So, Israel turned 59 at sunset last night. How do Israeli’s celebrate, you may wonder?

Well if the following couple of articles are anything to go by, the answer is plainly: with meat!

I guess it is not so different from your typical American Fourth of July celebrations. People have a day off from work, the weather is perfectly warm, so they grab some friends, head to the nearest park and make a barbeque, or “Al ha esh” (meaning, literally, “on the fire”).

So in preparation for the great day of smoky fun, this article in Haaretz lists the seven top sources for quality gourmet meats in Israel.

While the Jerusalem Post’s Independence Day round-up is a little broader, there is certainly a listing for where to find great steaks, as well as details of a Bloc Party that was thrown by Arcady Gaydamak, the country’s Russian-born billionaire and perhaps most importantly, an all-day bash at one of Israel’s most popular clubs Haoman 17.

Take a look at the full listings, and you’ll wish you had been there to celebrate too!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISRAEL!!
