  • two month anniversary

    So it’s been two months – as olah chadasha, as Israeli, as new life. It’s pretty crazy that I moved out of my parents’ house and moved to a new country all in one breath. And it’s also pretty crazy that at twenty-two I am able to begin fulfilling an enormous dream, a life-project. There’s…

    i just start laughing out loud randomly.a bus running over construction. a sign translated poorly. on an industrial side of town i looked past the railing at Ramot, at perfect hills over a non perfect city; a non perfect country for a non perfect people. can’t get a driver’s license because the office is on…

  • an airport thought

    here. that’s it: this woman, a bit older than me, staring out the large window, waiting for the delayed el al plane.and she’s hanging out with this random 6 year old girl, because we’re stuck here, waiting for the plane, and this adorable animated girl offered her some gum.and then – random woman: “chamuda, henay…
