Tel Shiloh, Rosh Chodesh Tammuz

Every month when my friends and I go to Tel Shiloh for our Women's Rosh Chodesh Prayers, we take the same route, but it never looks exactly the same.




Israel is dry during the spring and summer months, so the flora gets paler and yellow, eventually brown and brittle as the summer burns on.





And every month, I'm awed by its beauty. Tammuz is the first of the solely summer months on the Jewish Calendar.
