an honest lifestyle
First week in Tel Aviv, first week at a new university… Obviously I have a lot to say. And I will say it. And you can feel free to read it, or not. But for the visual people who don’t want to peruse my ramblings, here’s a photo post about my first week in Tel […]
Read MoreBefore I talk about my week in the West Bank, I have a disclaimer: I don’t really partake in the West Bank settlements conflict. Not because I don’t have feelings about my country, rather, because I love Israel so much, and the number of problems it has makes me too emotional and upset. Between outside […]
Read MoreHi from Israel! This is my first post in over two weeks, but only because it’s been a crazy, transcontinental, time-shifting two weeks. The Sunday before last, I boarded a plane to London, had breakfast in London, and then boarded another plane to Tel Aviv only an hour later. Three continents in twenty-four hours. It […]

For over forty years, my mom’s family has been coming to Yarmouth, Cape Cod, and from the middle of May through Labor Day, we’re at my grandma’s summer house every weekend. […]

As a girl with a fish for a pet, I couldn’t imagine anything better than dog days, because who wouldn’t want to play with their very own puppy for days on end? Anyway, the quote goes like this: “The first week of […]
Read MoreWhen I was a little girl, my favorite time of the day was right before dinner. My dad would be cooking in the kitchen, my mom would be on her way home, and the Beatles would be playing on the Bose in the living room. The house would smell like whatever delicious pasta or fish […]
Read MoreFor their 25th anniversary, my parents went on a romantic getaway to the City of Love. They spent hours at the Louvre, in cafes, and wandering the banks of the Seine.
