Nothing's more beautiful than the wintery sky here in Shiloh. The summer sky is boring, all blue, but as winter approaches, the humidity and clouds make it a visual wonderland. May G-d bless us with plentiful rain. We can change the world!...

me-ander: Easy Stove-Top Steak
A few months ago, we got one of those heavy cast-iron grilling pans. I finally used it to grill "turkey steaks." The Jerusalem's most handsome bachelors used one when they grilled beef steaks for me last year. First I put some garlic and onion and oil ...

So far, the attempt to send a young American basketball player to Israel's top league is proving disastrous. Talent and potential aren't enough to make it in anything. Jeremy Tyler should never have had been sent to Israel, certainly not without someone...

me-ander: Another Milestone in My Saga, Taking Care of My Elderly Father
So far, bli eyin haraa (don't tempt the evil eye) my father can do a lot for himself. One thing he can't do is to change the battery of his hearing aid. That's because his eyesight isn't all that great nowadays, so he can't see it.Last week, at my daugh...
