Israel Fix: December 2008

http://israelfix.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Thoughts on Yesterday's Levaya. The yeshiva went to Kfar Chabad yesterday to take part of the Holtzberg levaya (funeral). I don't think that I am capable of expressing the pain that the entire Jewish world felt at the loss of these two incredible people. What I can tell over is something unique that I experienced to put even more perspective on the incredible Jewish unity we have in this country. We asked him how he knew what was being spoken about at the levaya. If there wer...

Israel Fix: The Real Escape from Slavery

http://israelfix.blogspot.com/2009/02/real-escape-from-slavery.html

Thursday, February 5, 2009. The Real Escape from Slavery. 8220;It happened that when Pharaoh sent out the nation.Hashem didn't lead them near the Land of the Pilishtim because it was near. Hashem said that when they see a war they will want to return to Egypt.”(Exodus 13:17). Rashi asks what was the reason that Hashem didn't want to lead the Benai Yisrael near the land of the Pilishtim? And what does it mean “it was near? 8221; What was it near? And what was the significance of mentioning that? And that'...

Drawing Tel Aviv: Cafe Shefer in Tel Aviv

http://drawingtelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/10/cafe-shefer-in-tel-aviv.html

Drawings and watercolors from in and around Tel Aviv. Saturday, October 23, 2010. Cafe Shefer in Tel Aviv. Click on photo to enlarge. If I stand on the top floor of my apartment and look across the street,. This is the view I often see. This cozy cafe greets me every time I walk out the door,. But this view is always fun because I can watch, unseen. I especially enjoy this cafe in the evening. Because the tapping of spoons stirring coffee rise up. And sound like delicate wind chimes. A sketch in time.

Infectious Asian: Next kitchen experiment

http://infectiousasian.blogspot.com/2010/12/next-kitchen-experiment.html

San Francisco. Somewhere near Pacific Avenue. I can hear sea lions from my bedroom. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. My auntie made a lovely dish the other day for dinner. I don’t know where she got the idea, it was the first time I’ve ever had it. But it was SOOOOO good! I’m really going to have to try to make it myself. Shredded dried mushroom with pressed tofu! Drumroll, please, I know you're impressed! The tofu was still soft, but the mushroom shreds were crispy-chewy. It was very good! WILL NO ONE THINK...

Israel Fix: October 2008

Tuesday, October 14, 2008. Miscommunications, Stupid Government Laws, and I should hopefully be posting more often soon. All right basically I haven't been posting because I haven't had easy access to the internet. But not to worry Bezek is coming on Thursday to the yeshiva to install our internet so starting next week I should start posting regularly again. So I'll fill in two interesting Aliyah related stories that have happened to me in the previous week's. So yeshiva started and they needed my health...

I'm Right...You're Wrong: Netanyahu Against the World: Cut Taxes

http://aaronkatsman.blogspot.com/2009/01/netanyahu-against-world-cut-taxes.html

I'm Right.You're Wrong. Thursday, January 22, 2009. Netanyahu Against the World: Cut Taxes. This is a guest post from http:/ www.israelnewsletter.com/. Finally we have someone who understands that if citizens can keep more of there money, they can then invest, spend and save it according to their needs. The problem with all these other proposals is that with big time increases in government spending you end up taking money from individuals and they have less to create new wealth. With the world on fast t...

Drawing Tel Aviv: What I Have (Not) Been Painting

http://drawingtelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/12/what-i-have-not-been-painting.html

Drawings and watercolors from in and around Tel Aviv. Tuesday, December 21, 2010. What I Have (Not) Been Painting. I have been starting and not finishing a lot of painting for the last few weeks. I think part of it is that I am trying a lot of new things and my ideas get ahead of what I am doing and I want to move on - not continue what I am working on. It started when I got so frustrated with my watercolor that I decided to try and paint in oil. Of course, that means learning a lot. New (to me) technique.

Drawing Tel Aviv: Plan for a Painting

http://drawingtelaviv.blogspot.com/2010/11/plan-for-painting.html

Drawings and watercolors from in and around Tel Aviv. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. Plan for a Painting. Last summer I went to Italy with a friend. When we would pull up to the dock on the vaporetto, the way our reflections bounced back against the shadowy figures of the people waiting to board always caught my eye. I combined a few of the photos I took into a drawing to see if I could capture the contrasts for a painting. Maybe, maybe not.but the drawing was kind of interesting on it's own. FEEDJIT Live...

Israel Fix: September 2009

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. The Tale of Two Lost Wallets. Yes, I know I haven't written in a while, already starting last year with spotty internet connections, and big life changes, and getting married, and just.LIFE. It took a toll on my postings (by "toll" I think I've posted like 5 times in the past year. Anyways, my wife has told me she wants me to start writing again, and now that post wedding life has settled down, and we have a solid internet connection, the time seemed right. We packed our thin...
