Here's a Jewish road worker in the Jezreel Valley in the 1920s building a Macadam road.

This is how roads were built in the 1920s in many parts of the land of Israel. Take rocks, break them into gravel, pack them all nice and even, and then bind them all together with cement or another agent.

Tefillin bag, Romania, circa 1915, beads and velvet

Made by a professional Jewish bead-worker who during WWI, deserted the Austro-Hungarian army, was caught and sent to a prison camp. A Jewish guard became his protector. At the end of the war, the bead-worker made this bag as a token of appreciation to the Jewish soldier.

2nd Temple Period Jewish burial cisterns, carved and dug into the natural rock of the mountain, possibly belonging to the same family seeing as theyre all bundled together. Some of the rooms contain only 1 tomb, others 3-4. Spotted more tomb complexes up the mountain with something that looks like carved writing/text from afar, but the slope was too muddy to climb, maybe next time.

A group of Jewish laborers in Kerem Avraham, a neighborhood in Jerusalem (1855).

These Jews belonged to what is called the Old Yishuv, those Jews who were already living in the Land of Israel before the First Aliyah, which began in 1882.

Vintage set of playing cards depicting Jewish women’s folk costumes from around the world. The countries, from left to right, are as follows:

First row: Turkey, Bulgaria, Hodu (India), Yazan (Wiesen; could be Switzerland, Austria, or Bavaria, apparently)

Second row: Hungaria, Holland, Turkmenistan, Israel

Third row: Russia, Serbia (fun fact: for a second I misread it as Siberia), Teiman (Yemen), Italy

Fourth row: Poland, (This one I can’t entirely read, but I think it says Paras, or Persia. Interestingly, it looks more like Uzbek clothing), Kavkaz (the Caucasus), Romania

מישהו זוכר את הפוסט על ארבעת האלמנטים? ואחד מהם היה חזירי בר? רבלגתי אותו בזמנו אבל אני לא מוצאת אותו. אני אמרתי שיש חזירי בר בירושלים ולא האמינו לי. אז עכשיו ראיתי חזיר בר בירושלים ואפילו יש לי הוכחה מצולמת:

לכל החיפאים שאומרים שרק להם יש חזירי בר ולא מאמינים: בבקשה
