When contemplating Israel's exports, one normally thinks of Jaffa oranges and high-tech gadgets and gizmos. But not to be overlooked or marginalized are the Jewish state's outstanding wines, cheeses and artistic offerings.

Last week, the Baltimore Zionist District celebrated those elements of Israeli life and culture with a pair of receptions - one on Thursday night, March 25, at Canton's Chesapeake Wine Co., and the other on Saturday night, March 27, at 2910 On The Square, also in Canton. More than 100 people attended both gatherings.
