If it’s December, Avi Liberman is back in Israel, here to make us laugh for a good cause. He’s bringing three more friends, with proceeds from ticket sales supporting the Koby Mandell Foundation and families of victims of terror.

Do the Gilad Shalit Protests Help or Harm?
Two days ago, I wrote about my experiences in the Gilad Shalit tent. After I volunteered the first time, I found myself in a conversation with a friend who felt that these types of big, visible protests were harmful to the cause because it shows the enemy dissent on our side and only drives up [...]
Jewish Geography 2.0: Wasn’t I in Bnai Akiva with Your Goldfish?
Which of these two situations is less plausible? 1) You’re walking through the shuk and come across an American girl looking confused.

It’s Benji Lovitt’s Funny Israeli T-Shirts! Take That, Dorky Ben-Yehuda Stores!
Big announcement below….let’s get thru the GA wrap-up first…. Holy cow, I just left the GA. Can’t describe it any better than I did last year. If you’re a professional Jew, the power shmoozing doesn’t get any better in the world. If I were an Israeli and walked into this big American party, I’d be [...]
This Makes the Inane Security Checkpoints Much More Tolerable
Greetings from the free wifi of the Indianapolis airport! Holy crap, I don’t believe it either. On the heels of the free wifi in the Charlotte airport yesterday, big things are happening in the United States of America. BIG THINGS! Looks like it’s not just Ben-Gurion anymore…. Unfortunately my USB cable is packed so no [...]
