What do you do when your daughter is trapped in Tulkarm with an abusive Arab husband and the Palestinian Authority won’t do anything about it, much less the Israeli Army who won’t risk a diplomatic incident over some woman’s domestic abuse issues?
Simple. You call on some former commando badass Israelis to take care of the [...]
You have to live here and be an Israeli I think to realize how (tragically some say) we quickly adapt to our tumultuous environment. There were several issued with the alarms (Red Alerts) in several cities. It was an intermittent issue and the local municipalities in the South really did their utmost to resolve these [...]
The American people celebrated “Black Friday” 2 days ago with a shopping bonanza that hasn’t been seen for several years.
But when it comes to the Internet, the party goes on world-wide!
MostOriginal.com, a hub for original handmade jewelry, including many Judaica gifts, is holding a special “Cyber Monday” sale that lasts for 3 days! Today, tomorrow, [...]
A new research done in the Netherlands reconfirms a known social fact: Crime is contagious.
“But what do you do when the entire political system is corrupted and cynical? How can you avoid being infected?”
<!–BREAK–>
This is the sort of thoughts that go through my head, through many people’s heads. In February, we’ll arrive at the polling [...]
In my opinion, there is one issue which dominates the municipal elections in Tel Aviv. That issue is transportation.
Tel Aviv is a city with not enough parking space on the one hand, and too much smog and pollution on the other hand. Car owners have to deal with endless parking tickets, as well as daily [...]
A Christian visiting Israel? A Jewish who enjoys dressing up in costumes? Halloween is here!
Is there anything to do in Israel for Halloween? Well, honestly, not much.
If you’re in the Tel-Aviv area, you can hop over to Tzimerman, a neighborhood bar at 2 Berner Street.
If you’re residing in Jerusalem, or just touring the holy city, [...]
Livni had about a month to form a coalition ever since she was elected Kadima’s. But in the past 28 days she seemed to hurry nowhere, conducting the negotiations quite sluggishly.
Today her 90 minutes are up, and she only has a single round of overtime. (if you’d excuse my soccer metaphors). This morning, Mrs. Livni [...]
Reddit now offers preliminary Hebrew support in its User Interface.
Press for enlargement:
I’m always amazed at the power of Little Green Footballs. How come a blog that has almost no original content in its posts (as of August 2008), and is closed to new registration, gets hundreds and thousands of comments so quickly on each new post?
Do I find it extremely peculiar? Absolutely.
Am I envious? You [...]

JERUSALEM, Israel — In a rare move of self-awareness and humility, Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, had been decorated this morning with a bold caption in white that reads “Ko’ach Mash’chit” — a translation of “Power Corrupts” to Hebrew. It is not clear yet whether this is a very elaborate [...]
OK….that was way more fun than I thought it would be!
It seemed like as good a way as any to let you all know the latest news, and it was actually way more fun that I’d anticipated. Humor me, indulge me, and read it even if you don’t comment…

Summer is the annual time of beach goers. Racquets, ice lollies, and bikinis — there’s plenty to look out for. But there are also several things to look out from.
Jelly fish is a known annoyance along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Those sting-inflicting cold-blooded animals migrate northward around this time of year, and [...]
Yesterday I walked down the street and noticed someone walking a few meters before me. I could only see his back. But there was something about him — perhaps his walk, or his haircut — that intuitively made me think he’s Japanese. So I hastened my steps and walked passed him, turning my head to [...]
King Solomon Legend exports Judaica items all over the world. Having more Jewish folks who live abroad than Jews in Israel, this business has a large potential of succeeding, while also strengthening foreigners’ affinity to the state of Israel. The web site announced its launch yesterday, and I wish it the best of luck.
