shabbat sha-bam

i spend shabbat in the old city of jerusalem
no turning on lights, no using hot water, no ripping toilet paper
and unfortunately, no taking pictures.

i did, however, dance on a rooftop, chill at the kotel, tour ancient ruins,
and regrettably, eat my weight in challah.

but the highlight of the weekend:
yeshiva student: why do we wear kippahs?
young boy: to cover our horns!

shavua tov!

breaking news

february 11, 2011: after 18 days of protests in egypt, mubarak resigns

and where was i on this historical day?

in eilat. the southernmost city of israel.

on the border of egypt and jordan.

and what was i doing while the egyptians celebrated?

eagerly waiting for the red sea to part, of course.

but that never happened.

so i waved hello to jordan,

and set out to see eilat:

half jeans, half bar

 

 carnival game for cigarettes

trashcan with attitude

why my apartment is da bomb:

1. there is a view of the old city.

2. the blinds are bulletproof.

3. the first bedroom has an extra door. because it's a functional bomb shelter.

and it's been 6 falafels since my last post.
