My New Favorite Time-Waster

Ok, I just discovered a website to make your own parody of those motivational posters that were on corporate walls back in the ’90s.  While they’re not new, this seems to be the unofficial latest meme on Facebook.  I now know how I will be wasting my time for the next day (or week.)  Thanks [...]

The NU Campaign and Benji Team Up (The Best Combo Since Chumus and Pita)

Once upon a time, there was an oleh….we’ll call him Renji.  Renji got fed up with the stupid tourist t-shirts that hadn’t changed since the Ben-Gurion Administration.  You know the ones:  ”Super Jew”….”My Job is So Secret, Even I Don’t Know What I’m Doing”…the upside down “Go *&^% Yourself”.  Ok, admittedly, that one is still [...]

Thursday, August 25th Seems like it’s been a while….how about another blog entry from Ben-Gurion?  Ahh, nothing sparks my creative juices than sitting at the airport at 5 AM.  I love it every time.  I’m not even kidding.

Five Years in Israel: What Does Aliyah Look Like?

On August 9th/10th, 2006, I did the craziest, boldest, scariest, and most exciting thing I have ever done: move to Israel. Where have the last five years gone? I have been anticipating this day for some time now and I knew I’d have to mark it on my blog (if not also in real life), [...]
