Even though it doesn’t feel like it – Spring has Sprung!
You know how the spring looks here in beautiful Michigan, but how does it look in Israel? You already know that most of the seasons look alike in Israel… the heat and the dryness… but spring? Spring is beautiful!
The country is full of color, carpets of green grass and colorful tulips, roses and every other flower you can imagine!
So, there is a way of know when it’s spring in Israel, every kid knows it! Why? Well because we have a dong for it! (just like any other thing in the Israeli culture)
Here is the video and I have translated the words for you:
| How do you know that spring has sprung?
You look around you look around And if you see there is no more muddy trails And if you see there are no more coats And if you see the poppy and daisy blossoms Decorating Israel for the holiday Then you know (then you know) That spring has sprung (that spring has sprung) Then you know That spring has sprung

How do you know that spring has sprung?
You look around you look around And if you see a lot of working hands Carrying heavy baskets with Matzah and wine And if you hear “joy oh joy” (“joy oh joy) Spring is here and so has Passover Then you know (then you know) That spring has sprung (that spring has sprung) Then you know That spring has sprung

So, what do Israelis do in the spring? We go flower picking! You can pick Tulips and Anemones and every flower that grows in Israel. Now it’s not an illegal flower picking – The field owners want us to come help- this way it’s a fun activity for the family and they get assistance with picking the flowers – and you go back home with a beautiful flower bouquet!
We also travel the country (and sometimes outside of it) and spend time with friends and family – after all it is Passover but that’s for next week’s post!
Enjoy the spring in the air!
Until next time…
