There Does Not Exist Green Prophet Hazy IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. Just bursting in the nose of various tropical and stone fruit and white wine-like grape notes with some earthy resinous in the background. The body is very soft on the palate and thick but not cloying or too fruity -- there's a lot going on here and the body feels a touch oily which helps keep your palate somewhat clean. Pretty incredible.

  Israeli Opera Festival 2012 : Carmen

Israeli Opera Festival 2012 featured five performances of the classic opera, Carmen, June 7 to 11 at Masada. “We wanted to perform opera in the desert, not just to have an opera performance at a desert location,” said the Israeli Opera’s Artistic Director, Michael Ajzenstadt.

“There is no stage. There is sand and rock beneath the mountain. The set is an extension of the surrounding habitat. In three weeks we will deconstruct the set and leave no trace.”

Ajzenstadt said the entire crew, including 10 international soloists, many of whom had never been to Israel before, was affected by the symbolism and significance of the location’s natural beauty. They stood in awe for almost an hour before rehearsals began.
