October Israel trip

October marks the beginning of autumn in Israel, bringing pleasant weather, the first rainfalls, and vibrant foliage. It’s one of the country’s most festive months, with major holidays like Yom Kippur and Sukkot offering unique cultural experiences. From quiet city streets on Yom Kippur to lively family gatherings in decorated sukkahs, October is rich with tradition. The month also features top-tier events like the InDnegev and Hatamar music festivals, the Tel Aviv Piano Festival, and the Haifa International Film Festival.

Sachlav

Sachlav is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert drink, creamy and warm—perfect for cold days. Originally made with orchid root powder (now mostly replaced by substitutes), it has roots in Turkey and is popular across the region. In Israel, Sachlav can be found in places like Machane Yehuda Market, Jaffa, and the Golan Heights, with vegan versions available in Tel Aviv. The drink is easy to make at home using milk, sugar, cornstarch, and toppings like nuts and coconut, with rosewater for flavor. It's a comforting and delicious treat for anyone exploring Israeli cuisine.
