I’ve started a new website to organize, catalyze and galvanize my hunt for a new apartment (no word yet on whether the hunt will be mesmerized). It’s called Find My Tel Aviv Apartment and its main objective is to advertise this fact: I will pay a finder’s fee to whoever gives me information leading to [...]

Read it and weep, people. Here I am in The Atlantic, holding forth on one of my favorite topics: chicken shnitzel. My contention is, and has been on many occasions, that chicken shnitzel is the authentic Israeli cuisine because it is the only notable dish invented by Jews in Israel that’s culturally accessible to all [...] It’s the last week in January and today’s temperature is in the mid 70s Fahrenheit – I couldn’t say what that equals in fake degrees – and I’m walking the dog in a t-shirt (I’m wearing the t-shirt; Sharav is nude). To the person who recently asked me if I don’t find life in Israel [...] Four years is kind of a long time, about 15% of my life, or the length of a generation in high school or university, or the amount of time it takes for a professional sports team to win a championship, start sucking, and then get good again (not the Redskins), or the term of a [...] Where have I been for the past few months? Let’s see… As many people know, my job moved to Ra’anana last January, and as some people know, I’ve given notice to my employer that I’ll be leaving, at the end of next week, for a new job in Tel Aviv. The new job is also in [...] Ooops, I turned my head for a minute and another year passed by. I actually did sit down and contemplate the past year on the third anniversary of my Aliyah, thought a lot about it, such as what I did and what happened to me, my decisions, the decisions that other people made that affected me, [...] Growing up in America, I used to think a lot about Hanukah. Hanukah is a really weird time to be Jewish in America for someone who’s passionate about being Jewish while not being brought up religious or in any sort of insular Jewish setting. On the one hand, I had Christians suddenly conscious, all around me, [...] It’s official. For the first time in more years than I’d like to believe, I am a college student. This time around, I’m doing it at the Raphael Recanati International School, Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya. The degree: a three-year BA program in Middle East Security Studies, Counter-Terrorism and International Relations offered by the Lauder School of [...] Here’s what I knew already for a while: When I want to make an international phone call, I have to dial a series of digits before it that tell Orange, my cellular provider, whom I’m going to be paying for the call. That’s because the mobile phone companies in Israel don’t actually provide international phone service [...] I’m not entirely sure if I blogged my First Aliyah Anniversary or if I just think I did, but in any event, all my readers will now be subjected to a review of the last year, unless they choose not to read it. My second year in Israel wasn’t an easy one, and may well have [...] |
