Sagol 59 gets ill in his Givat Zeev apartment.
So today, after running a few errands (including picking up my recently checked and slightly altered tefillin from the sofer [scribe] in Mea Sharim), I met up with Aaron and headed to the Jerusalem suburb of Givat Zeev to hang with his friend Chen, aka Sagol 59, [...]
la’s love is an ocean so deep
she has trouble treading and her head slips beneath
eek!
no floatation devices suffice
tried them all twice
into the waters she retreats
choking & spitting & kicking her feet
sweet sorrow
sweet bliss
intertwine and co-exist
in a twixt
and you’re clenching “why god” in yr fists
pssst…
the ocean is all that exists
so slip into it
and let go of [...]
View one.
View two. Wow. So much to view.
The entrance.
How I have to get to the entrance if I don’t want to go through my landlord’s place.
I need to flee this place ASAP.
Last night’s scene at the Kotel.
So last night I went to Kikar Safra with Joey, Jonny & Shosh for a public Eicha reading. Eicha is The Book of Lamentations, written by the prophet Isaiah Jeremiah (ah dur), which is read each year on the holiday of Tisha B’Av. Tisha B’Av commemorates the destruction of [...]
So I got a place in Katamon. Frankly, I really don’t like it. It’s practically a closet beneath this other person’s (the landlord’s) apartment. And it’s not really near much of anything. It’s a 20 minute walk to Pardes and a 45 minute walk to Ben Yehuda. But it’s only [...]
So this one settler girl who lives in Efrat, Joey’s friend Yossi’s girlfriend Marnina, has encouraged me to read Exodus. I spent Shabbos nose deep in it—first time I’ve read it. It’s a really intense read… I can understand why she asked me to read it. In relating with the characters [...]
So Joey’s roommate just got back from the Army yesterday for 21 days and, understandably seeking personal space and private time alone, dragged me aside when I got back to his apartment last night and more or less asked me to hurry up and get out. So um, I’m a bit stuck cuz I [...]
I was just hanging with Joey and some of his friends over at Mike’s Place in the Russian Compound. They were celebrating their friend Brian’s graduation from bootcamp (pictured center at right), driking and whooping it up, despite the fact that it is “the 9 days”—the period of mourning leading up to Tisha B’Av, [...]
The following message is c/o Harry:
Just read your blog. I actually know that guy Dovid. I met him at Yehuda and Elie’s apartment…small world.
Just wanted to say that there are those of us who have made our lives in Israel, served in the army and continue to do so, not because of an [...]
Nothin’ much to speak of today (just been catching up on work and e-mails), except for the fact that Ariela is coming to Israel in a week or so to lead a 10-day birthright trip, so I’m really excited about that. Really excited.
Been checking out apartments. Really unimpressed so far. I looked at [...]
Aaron Bisman and the mighty nargilah last night @ Ronnie’s Pub
Got up with Aaron last night in Ben Yehuda for drinks. Had a nice time shootin’ the shit and getting a little background on Pardes and the living situation in the German Colony. It was a stark contrast to the experience that followed…
I [...]
