Yummy in the Near North: The surprising area filled with food carts

More and more carts and food stalls have recently sprung up in the Ramat Menashe area, serving not only coffee but smoothies, shakshuka and even Khachpuri - a great opportunity to taste and on the way also visit the new music festival - "Central Park Megiddo" (formerly Menashe Forests Festival), which will take place this month

August has just begun and is hot and crowded with hikers, not only because most of us will stay in the country in the characteristic humidity, but it will also be crowded with events and festivals that have fallen on us like a meteor shower. One of the "new" festivals, which will take place between the 18th and 21st of the month, is "Central Park Megiddo," which used to be the Menashe Forest Festival.

For four nights, there will be performances and special musical combinations, such as Fortisharoff, which gives a quality summer of a blessed comeback, as well as Shlomi Bracha, Eran Tzur and Danny Makov, and performances by Dudu Tessa, Eviatar Banai and Jane Bordeaux. "Menashe Forest Festival is changing shape after 2019. We felt it exhausted itself after 11 times because there was a big emphasis on production and less attention to content and we decided to go ahead to something new," explains Megiddo Regional Council Director Megiddo Nati and Yarva.

In short, there is something to look forward to. This year, there will probably be no organized camping accommodation,But if you decide to come for a few days here are some of the new places and activities you should know about the area.

The Jew who saved Jews

If already in Hazorea, the Wilfried Israel Museum in the kibbutz, named after the German Jew who saved thousands of Jews in World War II and whose story is almost unknown, is a great place to be impressed by changing art and exhibitions as well as an air-conditioned corner. In August last year, the Belialites broke into a museum containing hundreds of items from the collection of Oriental art donated by Wilfrid to the museum, and stole about 30 important items.

This year celebrates 70 to establish the museum and a series of exhibitions of Israeli artists abroad, will be presented on different dates for the occasion. You should come and hear the story of the Jews who saved Jews, will include an Heritage Center to be set up for Jews who care about their fellow Holocaust.

Leave us nature alone!

In the Megiddo Regional Council, 13 localities and 95 percent of the council's areas are open spaces, which sets it apart from other regional councils because it struggles to preserve them. The Megiddo area is a biosphere reserve declared by the UN, where there are development and industrial areas alongside conservation and nature areas. The council has a bylaw for public participation, where any law or decision that changes the rules in the area requires public participation. The decisions:

Jonathan Nir, who was born in Hazorea, is part of the headquarters of the joint struggle of the residents of the council and the residents of the Yokneam colony to preserve the green areas in the area. From the Megiddo Council to the city of Yokneam Illit.

According to the struggle headquarters, the mayor of Yokneam Elite, Simon Alfasi, plans to build 4,000 housing units for people from the center, according to CBS immigration data. So on the area next to which thousands of houses will be built improved the peace, nature, water and of course the destruction of animal habitats.It is not yet clear what will happen to construction in the area, but there is already a petition signed by 58,000 people against plundering this special nature for construction.

On this beautiful area want to build.

Keep the green so there will be more festivals and trips.

Parents and riders unite!

To relax from these devastating construction plans, we hopped into "Karina" - another coffee cart in the area, this time by Karina Millrod from Ramat Hashofet.

Karina was a kindergarten assistant who had a dream of opening a cart, and last October her coffee cart opened where seven types of sandwiches (NIS 26-24) are served, such as with caprese cheese or tuna with pickled lemon, squeezed juice, natural popsicles, shakshuka, Salads and all kinds of great brunch products.

You will mainly find cyclists who come before / after the ride and also parents of children at a school who skip making a sandwich for a child, and buy one from her.

Open:

Sunday-Friday from 06:30 to 13:00, kosher but without a certificate.

Where:

At the entrance to the Ramat Hashofet junction,

The pampering mothers

The last cart we visited in the area, and perhaps the most interesting and special, was a "mamas" ("mothers") at the entrance to Kibbutz Dalia. Aviv Regev, a resident of the kibbutz, opened the cart two months ago after years of working as a nurse, converted to catering and rural hospitality at the kibbutz and then was a chef at the Alma Hotel in Zichron Yaacov.

Orly the confectioner works with her. "My dream was to open a bistro," says Aviv, "so I started with a coffee cart and from there we moved on." In the meantime, it serves four types of dumplings, including vegan, sabih, tuna, gouda, two types of salads, but the khachpuri (NIS 32) served as a kind of focaccia with egg yolk. Just great. There are also gluten-free rolls served by mamas and smoothies from various fruits.

Open:

all week except Sunday-Monday. From 07:00 to 16:00 (Friday to 14:00).

Where:

At the entrance to Kibbutz Dalia.

Try her smoothie + Khachpuri.

The pioneers of the valley

And even before you return home, stop by Tali Argov and Efrat Zimet - AKA "The Pioneers" - that the Megiddo Culture Hall (Ein Hashofet) has opened a cafeteria where they serve food for individuals and groups, but in Corona these days they also adapt to the period and prepare pampering picnic baskets.

The baskets, which are basically a wooden crate left with you for any use you want, have consumables, cheeses, beet tehini spreads, sweet pastries, natural juice, a fresh salad, pie, rolls and a tablecloth.

A box will cost 235 shekels, including the box.
