No Potato No Tomato
A tiny 2,000 years old stone tells a story about the way of life in the time of Jesus in the Holy Land.How people dressed; how they shopped; what a kitchen looked like and the cuisine prepared; what had been common occupations? The stone, which had dropped off a Roman mosaic, finds her way to New York in the pocket of a Marine soldier visiting Israel.

David Ben Gurion
This book tells the story of David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), who declared the establishment of the State of Israel and served as prime minister and minister of defense for over a decade and a half, through the eyes of a loyal companion: his personal fountain pen. The excited pen describes the ceremony of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the honor of being the literal instrument of democracy. From crisis to triumph, the pen attends meetings with world leaders, as well as witnessing family scenes. The story leaves no doubt that Ben-Gurion was a man of his word and a man of principle, courageously making fateful decisions and causing dreams to come true. Nevertheless, when offered the Israel Prize in 1968, he declined: "Whatever I did in our land was merely the fulfillment of my civic duty." To fulfill the vision of flowering in the wilderness, he moved with his wife to a kibbutz in the Negev desert. In the study there, he wrote thirty books and numerous articles, as well as his memoirs. Their hut is preserved to this day, inviting visitors to observe how modestly they lived.
The Ballad of Magdala
This book tells the story of Magdala, the Hometown of Mary Magdalene, with captivating rhymes and illuminating and delightful illustrations. Although Magdala is mentioned several times in the scriptures, it came lately as a huge surprise, when remains of this ancient fishery town were revealed on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee in the Holy land. Most exciting was the discovery of a stone block, on which a Menorah shape was engraved. It tells that the artist must have seen the original Menorah in the Temple before 70 AD (year of the Temple's destruction). In short years Magdala has already become a very special place of history and culture, as it provides an authentic location to walk and pray where Jesus taught, and to connect with the first century life of Jesus' followers.
