a silent jam: November 2006
http://asilentjam.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 24, 2006. Post chess game feedback. Any talk of the latest war against the Hezbollah guerillas is usually pretty negative. How the once mighty Israel army was defeated. The mistakes made from top Israeli Officials, the mistakes made from the reservists, the mistakes made by the nation as a whole. Who's the bad guy? The lady walking her dog? The nice man taking his kids to school? The old man with the cane? The youth playing soccer in the field? Amichai Merchavyah, a fellow reservist was ...

a silent jam: March 2006
http://asilentjam.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 26, 2006. A brief history of bar fights. Where do you think you are going to meet her, in a bar? This question is asked by many, to the single folk out there. It's always asked with a bit of sarcasm. Of course you are not going to meet your perfect mate in a bar, right? Well maybe let's not be so quick to judge here! Isaac found his wife Rivka at a well. She was judged at how she conducted herself there. She passed with flying colors! Now, there has to be something to all this right? How di...

Wilderness City: A Little Bit Crazy
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2008/03/little-bit-crazy.html
A Little Bit Crazy. Better if she thinks I'm a little bit crazy. And loves me anyway. How can I start singing and dancing. I don't give an explanation to my self. How can I follow my soul's direction,. In to infinite vistas or holocaust ovens? These things come to me, I can't ignore them. Better if she thinks I'm a little bit crazy. And loves me anyway. How can I ever really laugh, or cry? How can I find myself jacked up on raw electric energy. Better, I say, if she thinks I'm a little bit crazy. And I s...

Wilderness City: Spring returns to Israel
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2008/03/spring-returns-to-israel.html
Spring returns to Israel. A few weeks back I wrote this:. The hawks are back! I just saw two of them flying up the wadi. Jumped out of my seat and leaned over my desk. Looking out my window as they sailed past. Brown, motionless wings. Drawn on by unseen winds. Drawing my heart after them. Today I went for a walk on the wild side of Jerusalem's Sachar Park - the wild rakafot. Poppies), and skediot. Almonds) are blooming up a storm - all pink, red, and white. Beautiful!

a silent jam: June 2006
http://asilentjam.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Tonight I will go to sleep in my comfortable bed. I will hopefully fall asleep with warm thoughts about my beautiful children and loving family abroad. I will be in the safety of my familiar 4 walls. I will look forward to tomorrow and hope to come that much closer to my dreams. Gilad's parent's home is not a home anymore. There is a hole so deep that will keep its foundation shaky forever. There is no peace. Every hopeful thought is wiped away quickly by stomach pains...Shay atah...

Wilderness City: Going out to Country
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2005/08/going-out-to-country.html
Going out to Country. I ended up, after months of searching, with a full time job, and that’s where I’ve remained. They suffer my strange schedule, as I aim to pack my learning into the mornings and wander in to work in time for a late brunch. How does it help the world? How does it affect my understanding of reality? How does it change how I act? That’s what was missing. There are a few precious teachers I’ve found who really focus on the whole range – not the big picture, not the small pict...Good insi...

Wilderness City: A Grab Bag of Light
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2005/12/grab-bag-of-light.html
A Grab Bag of Light. A good Hanukkah to all! I just hope the 2 hours I spent forced to choose between below freezing temperatures and listening to "The greatest variety of.Christmas music" goes on my record as cleaning up some grievous wrongdoing. For MCAryeh, who's troubled. By the lack of good Hanukkah music, here's one with a whole lot of soul. It came to me just as the sun was finishing to set into the first night here in Jerusalem. And what if the lamp is in the desert? Then you have to take off you...

Wilderness City: From Mehzbehz to Uman
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2005/10/from-mehzbehz-to-uman.html
From Mehzbehz to Uman. This is a continuation. See "On to Uman" for the big picture, and "Visiting the Holy Baal Shem" for the first part of the trip.). Now we're standing in the main square of Mehzbehz, negotiating rides by flashes of fingers and movements of the head. We're not having much success. None of us came here with much money. The last potential ride leaves the square and I settle in to learn a little bit. A van pulls up. Will this be the one? Our traveling companions are Israeli, Sephardi, fa...

Wilderness City: The Faces we Wear
http://wildernesscity.blogspot.com/2007/10/faces-we-wear.html
The Faces we Wear. Looking at how I wote myself up on a dating site, and then looking at how I wrote myself up on Myspace. Interesting to see the different tones. I'm sure someone's done research on how people put on different faces for different crowds. The whole online world collects all the data in a nice neat pile. I'm posting this because I think it's fun writing. No dating inquires please. ;). Who I'd like to meet:. This is how I describe myself:. This is what I am looking for in a mate:.
