It turns out that Israel takes on different appearances depending on whose eyes it’s viewed through. An early twenty-something steps off the plane and sees through wide eyes a sun-kissed land filled to brimming with young olive skinned honeys filling out olive-toned uniforms in all the right places, deliciously greasy buckets of shwarma meat [...]
Our beloved dog Ruben died last week. He was diagnosed a few days earlier with kidney failure. He was an incredibly special dog who brought us much joy and his presence has been incredibly therapeutic and has helped us tremendously through all the difficult times we have had over the past few years. He was [...]
Green tea may work as an anti-inflammatory for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis. How to make a plastic bag keeper. R.E.M.’s music catalog dissected once song at a time. “Now That The Day Is Over“, The Innocence Mission’s beautiful collection of lullabies, will make you want to burn your Baby Einstein collection. Buy it for your [...]
I’ve been feeling quite crappy lately. The drugs help the physical aspect of my pain of course, but don’t do much for the spirit. In fact, narcotic hazes can get quite depressing. I’m actually dumbfounded as to how people actually get addicted to this stuff. I haven’t taken a decent shit in over a week. [...]
So pregnant women have strange aversions to food and the like. Ziva can’t stomach chicken on the bone. Harry loves chicken. Harry never met a chicken he didn’t like. Harry is very upset about the lack of chicken in his life. But Harry can deal with that. Harry cannot however deal with referring to himself [...]
Spent the day with a few college friends visiting from America. Took them for some awesome Kurdish Kube soup and some juice laced with narcotic qat leaves in the Mahane Yehuda shuk in Jerusalem. Ran into someone completely unexpected that I haven’t seen in years. Good times. Later in the day, we celebrated the engagement [...]
The Jewish Agency for Israel has started a “Moving Our Children to Safety” campaign to bring children from Israel’s northern communities to summer camps further south where they won’t have to spend their days and nights in bomb shelters. While giving pizza to soldiers is a noble cause, this is a chance to make a [...]
Back from the ROI120 conference. Well rested after a full week of incessant Jewish talking. The sounds of silence was indeed needed and thank goodness, a weekend of solid sleep was accomplished. Yeah, uh, I don’t really know what to say. Although I wasn’t sure what to expect beforehand, it turned out to be completely [...]
Michael, resident Jewlicious badboy (though he would prefer to be referred to as enfant terrible), takes issue with the prevalent aura of self-importance in the “Jewish Blogosphere.” His entry reminds me of the three year old question, “Are you a Jewish blogger or a blogger who is Jewish?” Me? I couldn’t give two shits. I [...]
It was a cold day back in 1984, but that didn’t stop Michael ‘Boogaloo Shrimp’ Chambers and Adolfo ‘Shabba-Doo’ Quinones from popping, locking, whacking, breaking in Israel to promote the movie Breakin’ (saw it in the theater thank you you very much!) Back in the fifth grade we used to tear out the good old [...]
