Pre-Purim Pandemonium

Ninja Turtles, Spiderman, kings, princesses, pirates, minions.. the list of costume choices can go on for pages. Purim is in the air. It’s the Jewish holiday that teaches us that even though God’s name isn’t mentioned in the Megilla and He seems hidden, in reality God and His miracles are ever present. This is one of the reasons that kids and adults of every age, get dressed up in costume- masked, cloaked, veiled. It’s the day that you can have fun with your imagination- and dress like someone you only normally would dream of dressing like- or not.

It’s Enough Already!

In: Adjusting to Life in Israel, Blog Post Categories / January 3, 2016 / By: /

I can’t stay silent after the tragedy that happened in Tel Aviv. It occurs all the time. More senseless, brutal murders. In cold blood. This time with an automatic weapon. Not a knife. We never know where it’ll happen. And when walking on any given street, we are aware that a terrorist attack has already happened in that spot. Because they happen everywhere. The terrorists don’t discriminate. They hate us all. They hate us for living in Israel. They hate Israel. They want to rid us out of our homeland.

I pray for the victims, and for the families of the victims. Please don’t let there be anymore.
