What makes the Golan a fun place to live in?
The shining red cherries that you can pick straight from the tree and eat one after the other until you tummy aches.
The closest stream or spring, which is a short walk from your house, and which you can pop to visit immediately after work or school to dip your feet in the cool water.
You think you know every corner of the Golan and then you hear from a friend about a secret spring you didn't know existed.
The fresh air and the infinite spaces around you, where you can sit looking at the skies that are every day painted in a different color and breathe, simply breathe deeply.
The white cloak of snow that you can wake up to in the morning, running outside in your pajamas, closing your eyes and letting the snowflakes fall on you. The snowball war you can have with your children, the snowman and snow sleds you can build for them and the feeling of an eternal child you yourself feel…

The roads of the Golan you drive on, appreciating the fact that only you and nature are here now since you have not seen another car on the road for miles.
Your laughter when you hear on the radio about the crazy traffic jams of Tel Aviv and then wait five minute for a flock of sheep to cross the road.
The prickly porcupine, huge boar, galloping horse, chewing cow, quick fox, drowsy hyrax you can meet on your way to work and of course, the feeling that you have won the lottery when you see several deer leaping on the rocks, picking up your smartphone to take their picture and realizing that you have just missed them, again…
The howling jackals at night that make you feel as if you are watching a thriller.
Knowing that if you are out of sugar you can always ask the neighbor who will give you a new packet with a smile and will feel insulted if you tell her you will return the packet as soon as possible. 
Knowing that there is always a community behind you and that you are never alone.
Seeing the Golan every day looking different and being moved time and again.
