Visiting my friend Achiya Cohen the chief archaeologist at Korazim. Achiya and myself were 1st year archaeology students at the Hebrew University. We sat in class together each day and he really helped me with Hebrew as I helped him with English articles. He was and is a true friend.
In the image I am holding my walking stick and he is holding his metal detector.
Archaeologists recently discovered a trove of Canaanite artifacts (ca 1800 BCE) and a huge "monument" at Tel Shimron in the north of Israel, near Nahalal. They also discovered a mud-brick archway from this period.
This Haaretz article shares it best.

The Tikva Market is one of the largest outdoor street markets in Israel operating 6 days a week. Here you'll find the best mix of Israelis with highlights and the influential tastes of Yemenite and Moroccan restaurants.
After having a frozen rose water refreshing drink I recommend dedicating at least two hours to take in all the surprises you'll find here and the endless side streets.
