ABULAFIA

Over 80 kinds of delicious mouthwatering pastries fresh from the taboon!!

    Said Abulafia (owner)

SAID ABULAFIA "45 years ago we had a neighboor located next to our bakery called Rabbi Zalman who owned a shoe factory. The Rabbi was hurt to see the lines of Jews at the entrance of our bakery on the Jewish Passover and decided to give a tempting offer to my grandfather, the late Said (I'm named after him). The Rabbi asked my grandfather Said how much money did he earn on Passover and my grandfather replied that a week of work was the cost of an apartment in Jaffa (at that time). The Rabbi offered my grandfather that if he closes the bakery on Passover he will pay him back the money he would have made if  the bakery were opened. My Grandpa agreed and that same week he closed the bakery, made renovations and enjoyed his freedom. Every year since, a week before Passover, Rabbi Zalman would come with the money and Grandpa would close during Passover. On the Sixth year, grandfather went to Rabbi Zalman (before the Rabbi came to pay him) and said to the Rabbi that his bakery recieved such a blessing the rest of the year due to the fact that they close on Passover so from now on he will close on Passover free of charge! Since then,we are continuing the tradition of my grandfather (Said died before I was born, unfortunately)."

Sambusaks and fresh salad

Pearly white teeth, million dollar smile, and a voice of a devine being, that is Eyal Golan, the very talented and famous Israeli singer.With concerts all over the world, we were lucky to be in Tel Aviv and catch one of his performances. His concert was in the magnificent Hangar 11, the well known concert spot for celebrity artists.

Although the assigned seatings, nobody was able to seat their tuchases down while Golan was singing, we all prefered to shake our bootys to his joyful music.

His music is electrifying! Everyone left with a smile on their face and happiness in their hearts.

FEMINA

Noon, brunch with a view of  the beautiful Yarkon river at the Riverside event hall, and sexy models walking the runway dressed in the luxurious brand of lingerie called FEMINA- That is how we spent our Wednesday afternoon.

After munching on the brunch goodies of mini quiches, delicious mini croissant sandwiches, fresh vegetables and fruits, mini muffins and more, we sat our bootys in the front  row where we got a VERY close view of Femina's sexy new collection.

 The runway was elegantly decorated with spring flowers, the beautiful sun rays from outside hit the graceful models and caused Femina's new collection to shine brighter than diamonds. Femina has alluring unique pieces, exquisite patterns which deliver femininity, elegance and sensuality.                                                      

Women like to wear sexy lingerie, it gives them confidence, and men like to see women wearing lingerie. Undergarments have and always will be an essential part of life so it should never be plain and simple but always unique , comfortable ( hey we are not in the 20th century anymore, so no need for painful corsets) and of course sultry.

Femina is everything you need to feel desirable, the new collection is THE sizzling bedroom wear.

It's so good to be off the runway for a change (even though we love strutting our goods on the catwalk ;)  and sitting down, front row, enjoying the show.

PR. The amazing Zevik Dror!

                                                          THE DEAD SEA

While in Israel, visiting the DEAD SEA (also known as the SALT SEA) is a MUST! The dead sea is the lowest elevation on EARTH.The surface and shores of the Dead Sea are 423 metres (1,388 ft) below sea level.

We arrived at the most magnificent hotel called HERODS- Dead Sea, owned by the handsome David Fattal, with a warm welcome by the manager who served us 3 glasses of bubbly champagne. The Herods is a new luxury spa hotel that does wonders for your health and relaxation.

We came a bit early so while we were waiting for our room to be ready we were led to the VIP Lounge. After a two hour drive from our city Tel Aviv, we were famished!!  Lucky for us they served delicious treats in the lounge : chocolate croissants, salads, pastas, fruits, yogurts, bread, cakes , soft drinks, coffee , tea, alcohol (we loved the chocolate liquor!) etc, and all this with a view of the beautiful serene dead sea. You can either sit inside or take your drink and meal on the balcony.

After our  bellies were mid full we proceeded to our beautiful room . A tranquil suite, a balcony with a view of the dead sea and Jordan that is right across. On the table a basket of fruits awaited us, natural spring water , hazelnut chocolates and a bottle of red wine.

We changed into our bathing suits and put on the robes that were given to us, as we could not wait to dip our tuchases in the heated pool with salt water from the dead sea.  We headed downstairs to the salt pool. Next to every lounging chair by the pool there were mineral water bottles, but the best was the view of the beautiful mountains outside. A bit of pool, a bit of Jacuzzi and a bit of just lounging on the loungers and it was time for us to head to the spa and to the private sulphur pools! 

Ah the sulphur pools, makes your skin so smooth and mends the aches and pains of  your joints  and most of all it heals your soul from the day to day life stress. After dipping for fifteen minutes in the sulphur pool , you lay down on the lounging chair and the spa therapist  wraps you up with a sheet so that the sulphur soaks into your body. You can take a nap if you would like!

Once we felt we were de-stressed and relaxed we went up to our room to sh0wer and change for dinner.

Oh Herods, how we love you so! Your dinner buffet was a smorgasbord fit for  a queen, or better yet put, fit for about a thousand queens!! So much delectable cuisine! Never ending dishes of anything and everything anyone can want or imagine. From fancy shmancy Foi Gras, smoked salmon topped with salmon roe (caviar) , to Schnitzel, mashed potatoes, French fries, fish, steaks, pastas, a variety of salads( with Israel's vegetables that are known to be and are exquisite ) and so much more!!

After din din we headed to the lobby for a wonderful  sing and dance with a masterful, elegant singer that sang in all languages and got us all off our pampered booties for a bit of dancing! After this long and restful day we headed back to our suite, put our heads down on our fluffy pillows and had dreams of salt, mountains and paradise.

Oh how fun it was to awaken to the true paradise we were in. We  got dressed and proceeded to the dining hall for a smorgasbord breakfast. If  we thought dinner was majestic then what was breakfast?! It was  phenomenal!! Pancakes, waffles, eggs any way you want them, salads, EVERY and ANY KIND OF CHEESE you want, cereals, cakes , pasta, pizza, fruits, oh and the best part-  The honey is served straight from the honeycomb!!! DELICIOUS!!

After two days of indulgence it was time to head back to Tel Aviv.

The Herods dead sea spa hotel is a must for anyone that wants to relax, has medical problems from skin to arthritis or just for your own hedonistic pleasures.

DEAD SEA HEALTH BENEFITS

The Dead Sea’s unusually high salt concentration means that people can easily float in the Dead Sea due to natural buoyancy. It is claimed, that the Dead Sea helps relieve arthritis. This is because warmth and buoyancy reduce the release of prostaglandins - hormone-like substances present in a variety of tissues and body fluids that induce inflammation.

Other health Benefits of the Dead Sea-

- Strengthens the bones

- Boost up energy levels

- Repaires damaged tissue

- Slows down skin aging

- Reduces Joint inflammation

- reduces stress

- helps reduce heart problems

- increases blood circulation

THE BEST PART - THE BROMINE -!!  Bromine is well known for its calming effect, it is in the air around the Dead Sea in concentrations 20 times greater than anywhere else on earth. Just sit outside, breath it in deep and you will get a natural high!!
