Enjoying This Beautiful Land

February 27, 2024

It’s been hard for me to write anything for the last few months. There is simply too much to say and not enough words with which to say it. Today was a national holiday in Israel for municipal elections. These elections are taking place throughout the country, except for some northern and southern towns where… Read More Enjoying This Beautiful Land

Life Today In the Shadow of Murder

April 16, 2023

This first appeared on the Times of Israel blog. It’s almost impossible to put into words what our community of Gush Etzion (and Efrat more specifically) is experiencing at the moment with the murder of Maia, Rina and Lucy Dee. We live one town over from where the Dee family lives and we don’t know… Read More Life Today In the Shadow of Murder

Under One Roof

October 16, 2022

Our family has had a few health crises over the last number of years. And when they occur, I always have the same image in my mind. It’s the image of the 8 of us crowded into a row boat, huddled together and paddling like hell. Sometimes the water is rougher and we have to… Read More Under One Roof

Happy Birthday Nana

February 15, 2022

It is music to my ears When the kids yell, “Hey you’re cheating like Nana!” While playing Rummikub And then we all giggle and remember those days   Days when she would pick up the phone With “Hello Ro, how are you dear” “And how are those beautiful children?” Or answer the door just as… Read More Happy Birthday Nana

Walking Through COVID

June 30, 2020

In the summer of 2019, we spent two days completing Day 1 of the Israel Trail. The Trail is not for the faint of heart – it’s divided into sections that are typically between 20 and 40 kilometers long. So, while your average, incredibly hearty 20-year-old might walk the trail in 6 weeks, we will… Read More Walking Through COVID

The Trail Of Our Lives

November 17, 2019

This article first appeared in The Jerusalem Post and then in the International edition of The Jerusalem Post. Last year, my husband suggested that we start the Israel Trail as a family. His plan was to take a few days each year over Pesach and to walk together. We’ve reached the sweet spot as a… Read More The Trail Of Our Lives

Beyond Bucharest: A Mountain Adventure

August 21, 2018

While we enjoyed Bucharest, we really went to Romania to hike and experience the mountains. So, after three days in Bucharest, it was time to get out of town! On Thursday morning, we headed back to the airport (45 minutes north of the city) to rent a 9 seater car and go north. Our first… Read More Beyond Bucharest: A Mountain Adventure

The Gel That Binds

May 4, 2017

As many of you know, I’m the main representative female of the species for my sons. Of course, they interact with other women and girls; but they get most of their understanding of how the whole girl world works from me. Talk about pressure. And I’m not the most girly-girl out there, so they know… Read More The Gel That Binds

Helping Kids to be Kids..Even During War

July 11, 2014

As I wrote in my last post, we are celebrating our 10 year Aliyaversary at the moment. We have talked for a while now about how we would make the anniversary special for the boys and we have had many ideas- some grand and some modest. But we didn’t expect to be at war when… Read More Helping Kids to be Kids..Even During War
