A year in the life of Jess Mauer: International Icon. So Those Pollings Are Never That Accurate. Elections for the new parliament were held on March 28. Lucky for me even though I didn't have a vote, I still got the day off, as Election Day is a holiday in Israel. Relieved of my fruit duties and feeling the tingle of change in the air, I jumped on a bus to Jerusalem to see the action first hand. The final results are as follows:. United Arab List 3.

Jess in Israel: Almost As Good As Alaska
http://israeljess.blogspot.com/2006/02/almost-as-good-as-alaska.html
A year in the life of Jess Mauer: International Icon. Almost As Good As Alaska. I was sure I’d have to go a whole year without hittin’ the slopes. There is actually one mountain in Israel, but really, skiing? In the Middle East? I didn’t even think it got that cold here (It does. It gets really really cold! I saw an empty snowboard go straight down from the very top, no rider in sight. So when my friends attempted the mountain and (ohh the poor guys) fell the whole way down, they kinda fit right in!

Jess in Israel: The Mission
http://israeljess.blogspot.com/2006/03/mission.html
A year in the life of Jess Mauer: International Icon. YOU HAVE 7 MINUTES! BE DRESSED IN FULL UNIFORM! The second night rather than my 6 in the morning alarm clock, these foreboding words occurred around 2AM. In the fog of sleep, confusion, and annoyance, the girls in my room and I struggled to dress and stumble out the door. It was cold. It was dark. And we had no idea what the heck was going on. What the heck was a chet? NOTHING IS FUNNY ABOUT THIS! EVERYONE MUST RAISE THEIR HAND! I live on vacation.

At one point there might have been an old temple with a bit of oil that lasted a really long time, but really when we celebrate Hanukkah we...

A year in the life of Jess Mauer: International Icon. My travels have taken me first to jordan. the country was very. arab. as they say, not bad, just different - but this was really really different.

A year in the life of Jess Mauer: International Icon. This Year in Jerusalem. Okay really here’s the weirdest part that I still didn’t really get an explanation for.
