Israeli world fusion composer and performers Idan Raichel, a chart topper and the love child of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for demonstrating the country’s diversity, performs an all ages show at House of Blues this Tuesday evening.
The Consulate has been pushing it (as it does with all Teev Events… hmmm) like it is the […]
JTA reports that two Israeli films, Adama Meshuggat and Hot House have won the World Cinema and Special Jury prizes acccordingly. The first is about a young boy’s life on a Kibbutz, the other about how the Israeli prisons have impacted the lives, and motivations, of their Palestinian prisoners. Wow, the Zionist dream […]
Shalom from Israel! We are here participating in the Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour! You can check out my video blog about it. This comic’s premise wasn’t our idea.

The synagogue, west of Ramallah, was erected over a decade ago […]
Ah, lovely, lovely shmita. I’ve been waiting for you and now that you are here, I’m reveling in the stress relief you bring, the change of perspective you offer and the savings in electricity from turning off my computer.
In case you don’t know (I didn’t before I wikipediaed it), shmita is the Hebrew term […]
Here’s a little summary of an article that appeared in Chicago Jewish News recently. I’m into the eco-kasher thing. I mean, I’m really into it. I find it fascinating to research not only my food, but all of my purchases to make sure I vote with dollars. That is, I make sure I give my […]
