The Date-ing Game
Comments Off
The municipality of Modi’in did something uber-cool this year. There are dozens of palm trees lining the boulevards of the city which every two years produce thousands and thousands of delectable dates. This year the Department of Gardens and Landscaping of the city harvested the fruits and offered them to city residents for free. Ziva, [...]

My favorite eateries in Israel
Comments Off
Much thanks to tafka for letting me coerce her into”tagging” me to write about my favorite restaurants in my beloved country. You’ll notice I like cheap ethnic food. I also love foi gras, but I don’t go to upscale joints that often, so I decided to keep it real.

Overheard in a Modi’in Cafe….
Comments Off
So I’m sitting at a nice little cafe with my friend Frankie watching the US-Ghana World Cup match.

He had this to say about ‘The View from Here’:
Harry and Ziva are a young couple who live in [...]

Motherf*cking Palestinian kids stoned me
Comments Off
About 30 minutes ago I was stoned by Palestinian mini-terrorists while driving home from band practice on the Jerusalem-Modi’in highway, Road 443. Thankfully I am fine, not that shaken up, but rather angry. Angry at myself for trusting that these incidents were behind us. And angry that I didn’t have a gun on me. [...]

Bang bang bang bang bang
Comments Off
We moved out of Jerusalem because we couldn’t breathe, the streets were disgusting, it was noisy and it stressed us out to no end.
Needless to say I was kind perturbed to read this story in Ha’aretz that says the air quality in my town of Modi’in is now worse that Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

Onward Jewish soldiers…

Jewish immigration from America is up and is about to approach a twenty year high. (full story)
I’m sure Nefesh b’Nefesh handing out massive sums of cash from Evangelical Christians provided the impetus for many to immigrate.
When I made Aliyah back in 97 I was 22, had a couple grand in my pocket, a guitar [...]

Channukah Shmanukah
Comments Off
Happy Channukah to everyone.
I happen to live in the town where historically the Maccabees originated.
In fact, I live Channukah every day of the year.
I always thought that Modi’in’s city slogan should be “Modi’in, where it’s Channukah 365 days a year.”
