My daughter and her family live in Ofra. Ofra is the most veteran of Shomron (Samarian) yishuvim (Jewish communities.)
Even though they've been living there for four and a half years, I've never wandered around more than her neighborhood. But now she went back to work after an extended maternity leave, and the baby is at a sitter who lives in a different neighborhood.
So enjoy the pictures I took wheeling him through the lovely parkland in the middle of Ofra. I was very pleasantly surprised at how gorgeous it is.
There's no need to travel to a place for a picnic.
You can get to Ofra easily by bus from Jerusalem, Ariel and a few other places in the Shomron. Most, but not all, of the buses also connect Shiloh with Ofra.
Oh, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI was there once, about 15 years ago (on our honeymoon). My husband has a relative there. I don't remember it being this beautiful; I mostly remember the bus ride. You have a good eye.
ReplyDeletedoc, leora,
ReplyDeleteI go to Ofra all the time and had never seen this. I followed a path, rather than the road, between two neighborhoods.
