Just to show how diverse Israel is, tonight my wife and I were invited by Sahar of Kan Farsi to commemorate an Iranian Zoroastrian festival known as Shab-e Yalda (related to the winter solstice) with a group of Jewish Iranians in a restaurant next to Tel Aviv
The legend Beni Sabti is here as well as Nati Navid Toubian (actor from Tehran TV series)

We also lit Channukah candles at the Iranian event tonight
The ancient Iranians had a very close connection with Jews and the lighting of Channukah candles is supposedly directly related to the Zoroastrians
The Persian king Koresh freed the Jews from Babylonian captivity allowing us to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple

I recently went to Caesaria for a day trip and it was amazing there by the beach and port so I decided to make a short video showing some highlights.
I highly recommend going there during this season on a warm winter's day then eat in one of the amazing restaurants there.
