13th May, 2007. I was going to write about the French elections but my feelings are too ruffled and mixed up to think straight so far. To put it in a nutshell, my fear is that even if the cake gets bigger it will only make the fat cats get fatter and this is not my idea of what politics should be about. Yet I hope to be proved wrong and maybe I will. Website. I am not too fond of aish, in fact I much prefer the OU. Website, but this is not the point. Very easily, we can make donations. Dont Gel Too Soon.

12th Apr, 2007. Like a few other Jewish bloggers, I was going to write about the end of the eight days of Passover but a number of people have done it far better. Than I could so after my weekly shopping I thought I would write about something else. For those of us who are religious but do not live there, helping Israel is a mitzvah (something we are requested to do by law - whether explicitely or implicitely). 28th Feb, 2007. We are lucky to get a long winter break here: two full weeks. So far I see...

Naomi Ragen's fight - Ilana-Davita
http://ilana-davita.livejournal.com/4033.html
I am a regular reader of the high quality English newspaper. This morning I got the latest issue and read an article by Naomi Ragen. This article she wrote for. Is convincing; there is no need in Judaism for segregated buses. Unsegregated buses do not violate the rules of modesty. Moreover they are distressing, humiliating and only contribute to oppressing women. In other words they are against Jewish law, which prohibits inflicting any form of humiliation and pain on a fellow human being.

4th May, 2007. Tale(s) of Love and Darkness. I started reading Amos Oz's novel. A Tale of Love and Darkness. Last night and have read about 50 pages so far. Even though I have not read much of it yet, I have the feeling that I picked a masterpiece when I chose it in the public library a couple of days ago. 12th Apr, 2007. Like a few other Jewish bloggers, I was going to write about the end of the eight days of Passover but a number of people have done it far better. One of my favorites is to buy Israeli ...

Gearing up for Pesach 2 - Ilana-Davita
http://ilana-davita.livejournal.com/4384.html
Gearing up for Pesach 2. In my previous post, I mentioned that I had ordered Marge Piercy's book about Pesach. I eventually received it last Tuesday and started reading it straight away. Now I highly recommend it, whether you are a traditional Jew or a less conventional one. Posted on 25th Mar, 2007 at 21:31. Dont Gel Too Soon.

Re-reading books and Blu Greenberg - Ilana-Davita
http://ilana-davita.livejournal.com/3360.html
Re-reading books and Blu Greenberg. I mentioned in a previous post how much I appreciate Rabbi Telushkin's works. I've just started re-reading "A Code of Jewish Ethics"; the main reason is that it is so hard to improve and change one's personality that I believe I need to go back to Rabbi Telushkin's insights to make them part of my outlook on life and integrate them in how I deal with people. How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household. Blu Greenberg is the co-founder and first president of JOFA. Who was ...

Gearing up for Pesach - Ilana-Davita
http://ilana-davita.livejournal.com/4268.html
Gearing up for Pesach. About two years ago, on one of the Jewish Internet lists I belong to, someone reminded us that when Purim comes Pesach is only a month away. For the observant Jew, Pesach means plenty of work which entails a lot of cleaning, a lot of koshering and also a lot of eating to get rid of the. Chametz or Chometz (חמץ) is the Hebrew term for "leavened bread") in the house. Here's my list for this year:. New books (new for me anyway). Pesach Passover - Its Observance, Laws and Significance.
