Month: March 2006

  • A funeral attendance.

    Today I completed my witnessing of the circle of life in Israel series by attending a funeral. How I see it: Marriage – Birth – Funeral (or Birth – Marriage – Funeral, depends on when you think your life begins)

  • That time again…

    The smell of chicken has taken over the outdoor air; the store owners have poured their floor-washing water all over the streets – It’s nearly shabbat.

  • היום ברמי לוי

    “!מי שנכנס אדר, מרבים במבצעים – היום, ברמי לוי, שווק השקמה”

  • Visibility.

    Are Anglos invisible in Israel? Why? Move to Israel, become invisible Sad, but it’s something to think about.

  • Yellow, weird world.

    Crazy weird weather today. Sandstorms made the air yellow during the day and hail made the buses noisy in the evening. Even Haaretz wrote about it here. And here is my view:

  • Rumors, and not the Lindsay kind.

    Somebody told somebody very close to me that somebody close to her, who happens to work in intellegence in the IDF, that she (the somebody’s somebody in the IDF) is very depressed. Why? She (the somebody in the IDF) couldn’t disclose, but we’d all find out in a few days. The only thing I can…

  • You thought Bush vs. Kerry was hard???

    So this seems to be finally mattering (as opposed to being three months away, Sharon in a coma, and everyone ‘speculating’ from the air)… That said, if you’re like me, you’ll be waiting to the last minute to decide on who you support/vote for. I’ve been collecting some images over the last few months and…

  • What I want to be for Purim.

    “Hey, what are you for Purim?” “God.” “I don’t see it.” “Have a little faith.”

  • Heir to air to heir

    It smells like history today on the Bar Ilan campus. It could be because I just read an article about the Old/New Yishuvim and ethnic cleavages. When the air feels like this, I just can’t help thinking that I’m not so far from the past and even closer to the future…

  • pפз – mצь – xסч – gעп – sדы…

    I’m using a keyboard with 3 languages on it. My eyeballs are sore!

  • Socialized medicine: another take.

    Yada, yada, socialized medicine will be great for me when I’m old and poor. For now: My friends raved about this doctor I should go to, nice guy, sensitive, etc. I call up to make an appointment. “What medical caretaker are you under?”“Maccabi.”“Sorry, he doesn’t take Maccabi patients.” Ahhhh!!!!!

  • Studies.

    e: i want to do a study in eastern medicine and mediation philosophy after this, then i want to use all these studies i’d have done and start on spreading the word about mediation – of your mind and bodyo: really?e: it’s fascinatingo: okay, that’s newe: well people are already talking about how the mind…
