Boker tov from autumnal Tel Aviv-it’s officially acharei hachagim (after the holidays) which means you have to start doing all those things you put off. It’s been busy here in Beit Lovitt. Like a lot of people here, I kept working during the chagim (not ON...
Hello, my loyal readers. Next month will mark six-and-a-half years living in Israel and the same amount of time blogging. I’ve written about war, work, Jerusalem vs. Tel Aviv, and of course, everything an oleh chadash could laugh about from mopping the floor to ridiculous...
After the tragic attack in Burgas, a Bulgarian journalist saw my blog post on the The Times of Israel and contacted me for an interview. Here is the subsequent news segment. It's quite strange I must say to have to translate yourself back into English from...

Hey, guys-just a quick note from the ROI Summit 2011. I'll be making people laugh here: Tonight, there's a talent/variety show open to the public for my fellow conference participants. I'll be doing stand-up; you're invited! Come have a drink and meet talented people from around...
Good morning, everyone-are you enjoying your Pesach? Can you believe here in Israel we're more than five days into this thing? Two more and it's chametz time. (Kind of like Hammer Time but with more bread and less booty-shaking.) I spent three nights last week around...
