Going back to work the day after arriving back from Israel is not the most fun thing I ever done. Trying to fight the hundreds of e-mails and many issues, which I completely ignored when vacationed, while fighting the jet-lag is making the usual Monday “back to work” mood even worse. The truth is that […]

Coming back to visit home after long time, it is somewhat reassuring to see that somethings never change: My mother wonderful cooking, The traffic jam at Raanana junction and the knowing that no meter what I’ll get lost driving in Jerusalem…

In the next few days I’m going to be focus on reading, and hopefully learning, the Winograd partial report. In the past I had the privilege of reading the entire report written by the Agranat Commission about the 1973 war.

Since I open the blog I’m trying to avoid writing about Israel, not always successfully. I don’t think it is my place, writing from the US, to "educate" the people that bearing the risk and the hardship of day to day life in Israel.
