Last Saturday evening we had an Israeli dinner for all of the travelers going on our January 2008 Israel trip.  It was a wonderful time for fellowship and getting acquainted with those that we will be traveling with.  Several people traveled in from quite a distance to attend the dinner and I really appreciated their efforts.

The dinner was great.  Bettie and Penny did so much to help me get ready for it.  I couldn't have made it without them.  We had twelve people at the dinner and lots of food to go around.  There were falafels and mousakka, chicken with almonds and plums and of course one of my favorites, humus and Israeli salad.  Bettie even made Challah bread.  Everything was so good and to top it off there was plenty of baklava for desert. 

I ordered Roses from Israel to decorate the tables and they were beautiful.  If you don't already know about www.israelrose.com you should definitely go to their website.  They will overnight roses to you from Israel and the price is very reasonable.  At the end of the evening I sent roses home with everyone.

I've added the pictures from our dinner to the website so I hope that you will take a look at them.  We had a great time.  And just think.... this could be you next year.
