The Land  of Israel Museum – we used to call it, until we began to realize to what extent we were imposing a political half-truth on the landscape.   

as if all the history of civilization was incorporated into the existence of the state of Israel.  

When Tamar learns something about how olive oil was made in the old days, she is learning about Philistine, Canaanite, and other cultures as well as Jewish.  And when she sees contemporary art, it can be contextualized into the Islamic culture as well.  None of this takes away from the fact that the State of Israel is investing a great deal of money and effort into discovering this history, this heritage.  

Anyway, it’s a great museum, and although I have written about it before I want to emphasize its enormous improvement in recent years.  With only one reservation.  Our snack at the cafe was reviewed by Tamar as follows:  “It’s clear they don’t invest in desserts.”
