When Does this Roller Coaster Ride End? | The Other Israel
https://onnieschiffmiller.wordpress.com/2014/07/15/when-does-this-roller-coaster-ride-end
The Other Israel describes the joys, humor and challenges of life in a country that is often poorly portrayed in the general media. When Does this Roller Coaster Ride End?

gefilte sushi: from Japan to Jerusalem: July 2013
http://gefiltesushi.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Gefilte sushi: from Japan to Jerusalem. Living in Israel after 4 years in Japan. Still feeling like a gefilte sushi, if you know what I mean. Saturday, July 27, 2013. Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Knees aching from the week long, 5-hour a day Zazen sessions and frequent seiza. Feet aching from the long walk. I could have really missed this temple. Really, nothing special. And then an arrow sign with the faded character. T the bottom of the ravine. On the other side of a stone torii. Of th...

And they shall tell to the elders of his city: “This son of ours…". One month has passed since I left. Or it could simply be that I still am an expat. If you care to read them, here are a few of my observations since I am back…. There are no Japanese around here. And this. My friend, is the real cause of everything that goes wrong.

And ye shall not wrong one another. What is a poor guy to do when suddenly the kami. Has decided to send a downpour and there is no other shelter around, but the endless, monotonous series of stores of the sandou. The poor guy just walks into the closest one and starts looking at the merchandise. A sandou. If so, how much should it be?

Gefilte sushi: from Japan to Jerusalem. Living in Israel after 4 years in Japan. Still feeling like a gefilte sushi, if you know what I mean. Sunday, September 11, 2011. The valley of shadow of death. We were done earlier than planned and I was over the moon. There we were in Takamatsu, close to Temple 84 of the Shikoku 88 Temples Pilgrimage Route: I didn’t care for lunch, didn’t care for rest. All I wanted to do was to see the 8. I could have seen both places in a few hours! Instead of going straight to...

Gefilte sushi: from Japan to Jerusalem. Living in Israel after 4 years in Japan. Still feeling like a gefilte sushi, if you know what I mean. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. And I never went to bed… (Zohar, Miketz). On Sunday am, following two dear friends’ advice, I went to try and have it fixed or have my Japanese iPhone unlocked. I could’ve gotten the screen fixed for NIS 400 (almost half of what I paid for the phone), and the Japanese iPhone unlocked if I dished out NIS 800 ($230/. NIS 200, and this woul...
