Living in Israel one does not need a calendar to know when the next holiday is due or indeed which it is, writes Michael Kuttner…
No sooner have the dried fruits which marked the holiday of Tu B’Shevat been cleared off the supermarket shelves than – lo and behold – they are being filled with items for Mishloach Manot on Purim.
Shops selling fancy dress costumes are gearing up for sales and in a sign of the times we live in you can now place your orders online.
Once Purim is over the really big cleanup takes place and a frantic restocking for Pesach food gets underway.
These seemingly mundane events make living in Israel the ultimate Jewish experience.
