Always a pleasure to read your descriptions. Delightful mix of vivid detail, wry observation, and a fine sense of irony peppered with the absurd.

Unbelievably beautiful, as well as your words describing it!

Sorry I missed the sites in Haifa that you described. I only visited the amazing Technion Institute. I see that there is much that I have missed.

Thank you for sharing this Yonah. I hope to be returning to visit soon... for it's been 43 years. I'll always stand with Israel.

I've been living in Haifa for almost a year and you describe it โ€” and you know it โ€” far better than I do. I keep thinking, I'm a painter, I should move to Tel Aviv, that's where the scene is, but Haifa is so beautiful, so walkable, so human in scale. I just like it here.

Before I made Aliyah, my advisor at the Jewish Agency in New York asked me what city I was going to move to. I said, "Haifa." He said, "Haifa's not a city."

Haifa is very much a city, but it's an intimate city.

Your description is radiant and you do the city justice.
