🐾Happy National Dog Appreciation Day! 🐾 To celebrate, we're bringing you a very special Feta Facts! Did you know that dogs are not just adorable companions but also incredible stress relievers and mental health boosters? Here's how our canine buddies help us: ❤️ Stress Relief: Spending time with dogs can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase oxytocin (the love hormone). Just petting a dog can make a significant difference in how we feel! 🧠 Improved Mental Health: Dogs provide emotional support, reduce feelings of loneliness, and encourage physical activity, all of which are crucial for maintaining good mental health. Their unconditional love and companionship can be a tremendous source of comfort during tough times. 👥 Social Connection: Owning a dog can also increase our opportunities for social interaction. Dog parks, walking paths, and pet-friendly events are great places to meet new people and build a sense of community. So if you're feeling down or need a little motivation to conquer the day or start that next big DIY project, give your furry friend a good scratch and do it together!

For Gavriel, running the pub is more than just a business—it's a labor of love. He pours his heart and soul into every detail, from the carefully curated menu to the welcoming atmosphere that makes haLev vhaMayan so special. Gavriel’s infectious energy and genuine kindness are evident in the way he greets each person who walks through the door, often with a huge smile and a warm hug.
