I took a short seminar today on a topic related to stress. Not really stress management, but more of stress handling and resilience topics. Anyway, one lesson was: "Be the kind of friend you want to have." Or something that is equally saccharine, more grammatically correct, and well, you know - true ...

Liver. In popular American culture this word is usually accompanied by a child making a face of disgust and followed by a sneer of “yuck”. Being the unusual child that I was I have always loved liver although I didn’t always know I was eating it. My mother used to make me liverwurst sandwiches. When ...

I am not very good at birthdays. I get nervous and cranky in the days beforehand, and find myself unable to plan anything because nothing seems like it will achieve the combination of meaningful reflection and celebration that I want from my birthday.

Last week's Weekly Geeks was asking for recommendations. Abby's been waffling about NaNo this year. I'm not waffling. I have an idea. My only waffle is how many characters are in my group of friends. And what their names are. But, I'm still thinking about last year's NaNo (and the one before that. A ...

There’s a soup kitchen in central Jerusalem where a number of students from my yeshiva volunteer on Friday mornings. The dining room is overwhelming and disorganized, as people jostle for a place line and literally try to yank trays of food out of volunteers’ hands. It’s not a pleasant or particular ...

I just moved into my new apartment on Rechov Tarfon. Rabbi Tarfon is credited with two of my favorite mottos in Avot: “The day is short, the task is great and the workers are lazy, but the wages are high and the master of the house is insistent,” and “The task is not yours to complete, but neither a ...

I feel like almost every day since I’ve gotten here I have a moment when I am overcome with joy that I am actually here, spending a year studying Torah and Talmud in Jerusalem. Two years ago, it would have been hard for me to imagine coming and doing this at all. A year ago, I’d barely heard of Pard ...

Steve patted the tub. "It's my best batch ever." His brown eyes twinkled. "Better than my mom's," he laughed, "and she's from Brooklyn." I took the container from his hands and placed it in the passenger seat. I wondered if I should place the seat belt around the tub. Steve must have read my mind. " ...

I’m hoping that in the coming months, this blog will be filled with fascinating tales and photos from my adventures here in Israel. So far, though, in the 17 days since I arrived, cranky and exhausted, at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and climbed into a crowded sherut to Jerusalem, I’ve managed to ...
