Hey, I just landed in Israel 4 hours ago and boy, are my long-range missiles tired. Remember my blog? What War Zone??? Good thing I kept the URL. We're back in business, reminding you, my loyal readers, that despite the occasional uptick in violence (and...
Israel is a dangerous place. Between the unrest in Egypt, the threat of war with Iran, and matkot balls flying around at the speed of light, we can never know what the future holds. I was reminded of this last week when I threw my back out...
My latest in the Times of Israel. Enjoy! As always, if you like it, share it! “You shall count for yourselves -- from the day after the Shabbat, from the day when you bring the Omer of the waving -- seven Shabbats, they shall be complete....

Hello, my loyal readers! Everyone ok out there? Quick life update: I ran my car into a tree. The good news is I'm fine. The bad news is it was on Tu B'shvat. The JNF is pissed. Ok, ok, I'm joking. (Sorry if I scared you, Mom.)...
