Red South Festival

Last Shabbat, half of Israel was in Shul, the other half drove down to the Negev, for the Red South (Darom Adom) Festival.

Each year, the Darom Adom Festival follows the rainy season, when the drab landscape of the northern Negev is covered with a magnificent carpet of scarlet red anemones.

Too bad the folks in Gaza couldn’t stop themselves from shooting a rocket at the flower loving Jews.

But you don’t have to go on Shabbat – the festival is still in full bloom the entire week, and, in fact, the entire month.
