11/3/09 Updated schedule here
Get ready, America: for two and a half weeks, one man will try to survive without his tri-daily chumus feedings (although he may shove a few servings of fajitas down his throat). On the heels of February’s tour, I’m coming back to the States tonight for a couple of weeks to either spread the good word about living in Israel or make people so terrified of hairy, screaming shuk vendors that they’ll never come. Unclear which it is.
I look forward to meeting with young people and clearing up a lot of misconceptions about what it means to make aliyah. In case any of them saw this ad.

Seriously, Ulpan Or?
Why don’t you go to hell in one week?
You see, my loyal readers, apparently Diaspora Jewry and Israel just aren’t on the same page these days. Israel doesn’t get them, the Diaspora is falling out of love with us, what’s a Jewish population to do?
They’re to call Benji Lovitt, that’s what. To bridge the differences between the two peoples in a way that they’re simply unable to do themselves. You see, Diaspora Jews, Israelis are the warmest, most wonderful people in the world. But they don’t sugarcoat, they don’t act fake, they simply tell it like they see it. Take this example from an online Israeli dating site. “Body type”: Hmm…which one to choose? Let’s see, don’t see it yet, keep going to the bottom…OH!

they should really do it before this question.
And Israelis, Americans are good people too. They’re hard-working and friendly people. And after all that hard work, they like to spend their hard-earned money enjoying life. Especially on fried things.

Should be a good time. Here’s what I know:
