It’s the same guy who loves Rami Levi. Another token in the love affair with Israeli commercialism:

I had been contemplating it for a while and came to the conclusion – not on my own, though – that Stella needed a better living situation (and so did my husband). I realized that there was no way my apartment could feel harmonious with those two animals living on top of each other. I’ve…

I have this creative energy going on, but I’m feeling stuck. It’s not just here; it’s everywhere. My schoolwork, my job. My friends. My country. I’m feeling incredible amounts of potential and no airflow. I’m wondering what exactly is stuck; is it one thing, like a pebble in an engine? It is that the whole…

There has been a lot of bad news going on around my area of life; too many kids getting sick, especially cancer-sick. Because this is a bit personal, I’m passing along a message from an old friend:Want to shave your head for childhood cancer? No? Well I do…. and I will… but I need your…

This is what it looks like outside my window right now:

Sometimes I miss not being Israeli so that I could come here and feel the naive happiness at being back in Israel after however many months. Before I moved here, a year and a half didn’t go by when I hadn’t visited since I was 18. Every time I had this feeling as I’d look…

…And I am his granddaughter. That’s right, folks. He prophesized that his granddaughter would one day come to Palestine and build the Zionist regime of Israel. Here I am. (I get to make up stuff, too, right?) When is Ahmadinejad going to get a spot on Comedy Central?

So… My tail’s between my legs. Not everyone has been as enthusiastic about my gorgeous, yummy Canaani girl as I’ve been.I’ve been forced to focus on looking for another good home for Stella. She needs an energetic family and a yard. If we were moving out of our little Jerusalem apartment sooner, I’d try to…

I’m not one to proactively celebrate Sylvestor or New Year’s or however one may refer to it… But I thought this was a cute marker to take Israel from the kishkush that was 2006 into the ??? that is 2007…. Sorry, it’s in Hebrew.

I have nothing profound to say about today, which is the Fast of the Tenth of Tevet (‘Tevet’ being the fourth month of the Jewish calendar, ‘Tenth’ being the tenth day of said-month, and ‘Fast’ being what we Jews do on sad days because we eat too much on happy days). What I am lacking…

I don’t get it. Call me culturally ignorant. Why do I always see photographs of Arabs celebrating or protesting or mourning, always with guns present or being shot into the air? Anti Saddam Iraqis celebrating his death. (NYTimes) Pro Saddam Iraqis protesting his death. (NYTimes) If it’s a cultural thing, I don’t get it, and…

Ok, ok. Now it’s snowing:
