  • Flight service feedback for United Airlines.

    Dear United Airlines customer service department, I never write letters like this, and I’m usually very easy going, but this experience left me pretty upset, and I figured the customer feedback will be valuable for United Airlines. I was on flight UA84 from Newark to Tel Aviv which departed on Wednesday, August 22, 2012. I…

  • How Etgar Keret began his writing career [VIDEO]

    As I’m not shy to have already said a few times, I’m a huge fan of Etgar Keret. His use of slang, the length of his stories, and the depths he goes to make you feel at once like your heart has been stepped on while giving you a good laugh… Here’s the video from…

  • #tomorrow12: Dr. Ruth on Sex of the Future.

    Disclaimer: This post is about sex. As told by a German-American Jewish 4’7” Holocaust orphaned therapist with a famous and fabulous habit of giving advice. About sex. I remember being a kid, staying up late with a little handheld radio to listen to learn  about love, relationships, and sex. So it’s pretty cool that today…

  • Red flower fields… Amsterdam in Israel.

    Over the Pesach break, we drove on the 375 a few times (outside Beit Shemesh, in Emek Ha’Ella area) and noticed the breathtaking red flower field on the side of the road. It’s normally a gorgeous area on a bad day, but this was something totally cool… something I’ve never noticed in my Israeli life…

  • President Obama knows he’s sexy.

    This is not ceasing to be funny for me, so I’m just gonna keep going back to it when my day drags on, and I’m going to share it with you. President Barack Obama sings LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It.

  • That Black Eyed Peas song’s in my head.

    (This one.) Ran my second 10k today as part of the Tel Aviv marathon. My head was definitely not as much in the game as it was during my first run (the Jerusalem Night Run), where adrenaline and newbie-ness definitely took control. It was fun, and it’s great to beat my personal best, and especially to…

  • Shimon Peres’ writing on the Wall.

    Is there anything this cutie can’t do to make us smile? Now that he’s Mr. President – and finally found a job he fits – Shimon Peres just keeps getting better and better. Like when I watched him interviewed by Barbra Walters on The View last month… (?!) Now he’s gone and seen the writing…

  • This is America and we’re gonna get DRUNK.

    No where else in the world (except maybe Australia?) can you go to Costco and buy vodka. I mean, VODKA. I MEAN VODKA. Dedicated to my Pops. You know why.

  • Hello from the Sunshine State!

    Hello! I feel all must be super chipper since I’m in the Sunshine State! It’s just beautiful here in West Palm Beach! The weather is gorgeous! The people are friendly! Floridians keep complimenting my baby! All decor everywhere we go is turquoise and mauve! Just wonderful, everyone!

  • Ok, Tel Avivim too.

    This is for Rafman. Saw this a while ago, thought to post, and then thought twice because it’s in Hebrew. But screw it. Now presenting: שיט שתל אביבים אומרים (Shit Tel Avivim Say)

  • For the love of Ayelet.

    Just needed to share this with everyone out there: this amazing thing, the combination of  the widespread and deep lengths of the Jewish community-at-large and the internet’s service as the ultimate sharing tool. I’ve been just amazed by watching how many people are seeing the Ayelet Galena post from last Tuesday… Since it was posted,…
