When I woke up the this morning I was privileged enough to have a great breakfast prepared by Talli's mother: Hummus, good bread, tea and Israeli Salad (cucumber and tomatoes in olive oil!, really fresh tasting). After I had finished Halli and I were taken on a four wheel drive tour of the Moshav by Talli's sister and her husband. Nahalal is very unique in its circular shape, and it was interesting to see how many different types of artistry and farming go on there. Talli also is an accomplished potter and showed us her work, as well as a kiln she built herself.
When we were together in a group we were able to see the archive room of the Moshav, curated by an amazing historian who had so many great stories for us. Each year had its own file full of pictures writings and artifacts from the Moshav. We were also told the stories of the members of the community who had died in their military service to the country
The History of Nahalal is intertwined with that of Israel and it was great to see those connections.
