This year, I decided to dress as an amateur video editor. Check out the video I made below, thanks to some cute kids and their parents who helped out at the last-minute! Stick around for the "surprise ending". Chag Purim sameach! https://www.facebook.com/funnybenji/videos/10156000716357332/...

What am I supposed to call this blog post? More on that later. Today marks ten years since I arrived in Israel. When all of us bloggers started to write less frequently a few years ago, a wise friend told me that I might consider how...
Why, hello there-it's been a while, hasn't it? I haven't blogged in months but you know I wouldn't miss today. If you're a repeat visitor, you'll notice my brand-new website. Take a look around, click, watch, read, and let me know what you think. I hate...
