I admit I was teary-eyed from watching this video. There are two things that are touching about it. First, what a feeling to actually have someone acting outwardly and proactively supportive of Israel. And, I feel so proud to be part of this country, the country that, according to Col. Richard Kemp, made more effort [...]

Or is Srugim living my life?
Srugim is a TV show about the life I have just re-entered; the single’s life in Katamon, Jerusalem. I’ve watched TV shows about New Yorkers, LAers, even Canadians but I’ve never seen a show that is so connected to me personally. From what I know of Israeli TV (I barely [...]

OK, well here is the most random post ever. For a while I’ve been meaning to post this video about the last Jew in Afghanistan. While I’ve heard at least one person say that this man is very brave, I cannot help but find his story simply depressing and I’m wondering why he doesn’t “just” [...]

Birkat hachama, the blessing of the sun, is a custom that Jews can perform once every 28 years. It is believed that every 28 years the sun returns to the place – relative to earth – where it was created. Why once every 28 years? It has to do with the day of the week, [...]
