So it was a dark and dreary night in gotham, and I was at my computer lazying away by aimlessly wandering Wikipaedia. As I was wandering down the list of Jewish-American politicians I surprisingly found late New York City Mayor Fiorrello De LaGuardia listed. Of course our famed Italian-American Mayor was known for his good relationship with the Jewish community, coming out strongly against Adolf

Well heres and interesting article I saw on Haaretz. The argument goes that if Israel would release the terrorist murder Samir Kuntar back to Lebanon, Hezbullah would return the Israeli soldiers captured. This means allowing the man who murdered an Israeli family in cold blood to go out as a free man, what do you do?

A few months ago I was discussing some of the more amusing quirks of Israelis with the voluptuous Yael(two syllables I swear). She mentioned how when Israelis tell you their email address they will say the name then "Streudel" followed by the domain name. This is because the "at sign" @ looks kind of like a streudel pastrie.

So...as the rest of you are--I'm sure--I was really disappointed that Israel was not amongst the 32 countries represented in Germany this summer.That was changed when John Pantsil of Ghana, who plays for Tel Aviv, displayed the Isreali flag after a Ghana's two-nil beat down of Czech Republic, he displayed the Isreali flag for a b-b-b-billion fans.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a swastika on an elevator door. I didn't think to much of it partially 'cuz I'm from Baldwin, NY therefore used to this crap. Since then, I've been asked about it plenty of times and I got a mass email from the Hunter president about it.OK, I just want to let out some steam about this wholebrouhaha.I used to go to a high school, where we used to find this sh_t on the

So I'm at Dina's birthday party, and I'm having a great time. My food comes, looks great. I order a white chocolate mousse cake, I couldn't wait to jump in. Dina turns to me, quite innocently, and points to my lip. She then says "Oh, you have a little something over he-"...::Moment of silence, staring, awkwardness::............Hysterical laughter.Ladies and gentlemen, she pointed at my

I was so busy hyperventilating that my brain didn't kick in to tell me to record The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down until The Brothers were nearly done with the song. So here, for your viewing pleasure (really listening pleasure cause you can't see much) are the last three minutes of The Allman Brothers playing The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Let's take a sober moment to look at one of the key phrases of the megillah. Esther is afraid to speak to Achashverosh on behalf of the Jews, and Mordechai says to her, "if you remain silent at this time, relief and salvation will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish." (4:14) Obviously, because of HaShem's promise to Avraham, HaShem was going to

The other day I was in Staten Island on a Yachad shabbaton. During Oneg I had a preposterous debate with a Monseyite. She said that there were more Jews in Monsey than there are in Long Island. A fellow Long Islander (West Hempstead specifically) came to his homeland's defense. "No way. What're you crazy there are more Jews on Long Island. Come on think about it; The Five Towns."She countered

This weekend was poised to be either complete failure or a great learning weekend. It turns out it was way more than any of that.Weekend started off in a weird way. I showed up to Brooklyn College Hillel as a complete stranger, not knowing anyone except Zev, but only from phone calls and e-mails. Turns out Zev's fience is good friends with Nedenah. So we daven Kabbalat Shabbat, and head down

A few months ago I overheard the Hillel Head Honcho Tzachi giving an orientation to a bunch of people doing Hillel birthright. Among the "pertinent" facts delivered in this little seminar was that Israeli currency sounds different than American money. So I dropped a 50 schek' note and a 20 dollar bill on the ground.......It didn't work. I then decided that he was probably referring to coinage.

The other day I spent about three hours rearranging the library in the Hillel lounge. Besides inhaling more dust than any person should without consulting a doctor, I uncovered about a dozen Chumashim, and even more siddurim than I think we could use in a life time. However I was disappointed in one respect. I uncovered only two volumes of Talmud Bavli, Berekhot and Bavva kamma.Considering the

Last night I was baking samboosak with Daniella and a bunch of other girls in my apartment. Everyone knows that the measuring system (what's it called?) in Israel isn't the same as it is in America. So the following conversation took place when I needed to convert grams into tablespoons.Me: Daniella, how do you convert grams into tablespoons?Daniella: You can't convert it, grams is a weight table

Ok, so here's the best I can do at a post, bragging, yet complaining about my new job.Every Saturday night, except once or twice, since the semester started I've spent by the Segal residence.

Pottery painting places are either too far away or too expensive. Most Blues and Jazz Clubs have a minimum age of entry at 21. Comedy clubs have a $15 cover or more on Saturday nights and I'm already going to see the Allman Brothers for not so cheap. In other words, where should I make my birthday party?

I was walking on the second floor of Hunter west building when I saw a swastika written in thick black marker on one of the elevator doors. An elderly gentlemen on observing the same said."Oh my g-d... that swastika is backwards what an asshole!"

I just listened to the song Fast Car in its entirety for the first time ever. Why you ask? Because it's boring and I don't enjoy tunes that are so repetitive they seem to hum, but I listened to it because my father sent me a link to this video and I had to see the whole thing. I'm still unsure as to whether they did this as a mockery of the song or in its honor (who knows? My brother listens to

If there was ever a time that I really really wish I lived in Canada it would be now. I'm fed up with 60 million Americans living without health insurance, we need universal coverage. Health cannot be left to the bureaucratic idiots with the mental capacity to keep files in order comparable only to Cpl. Klinger on M*A*S*H. Why rant now you ask? Simple, I feel an all too familiar pain in my knee.

Well I guess it was fun while it lasted, Shabbat in Tzfat, hanging out on Ben Yehuda, cutting class, midnight adventures in the arab shuk. I suppose I'll be learning a little more talmud now that my distrations will be 2000+ miles away. Have a safe flight chutznikkim, see you all in June (If I dont turn Satmar by then).

I thought this was hilarious. I was sitting in my apartment with a "dorm-mate". She's telling me how her mother is a teacher in public school and so the names that some of the kids have there are really hilarious. For example, one time there were these twins who were in her class and their family had immigrated right when they were born. So in hospitals here they put "male" and "female" on the

I recently read an article online about how there will soon be cell phone service in the city subways. I just want to go out on a limb and say, this idea SUCKS. This may seem strange, but I really don’t like this idea.Here’s why:It will take away one of the few remaining places that you don’t have to hear other people’s mind numbingly boring conversations; not to mention that insipid Nextel

Randy, Eliana, Michael, and I were going to do a little trip to the Golan together. It turned out to be an awesome trip, even though it wasn't to the Golan. :)Day One: Tzfat Day Two: Hike part of the way to the Kinneret, lunch, and hike back.The end.

Its that time of year again folks. Thats right. American Idol is back, oy. Now, I can't stand the show, but, my brother loves it. He can't get enough. This is partially due to the fact that he has a great voice and I couldn't find a# with a map and a flash light. However I do usually watch the first episode every year. Now some of us can sing; like Eliana. Some of us can't; like uhm lets say,

My cousin just emailed me this joke.A man arrives at Ben Gurion International Airport with 2 large bags.The customs agent opens the first bag and finds it full with a large variety of currencies.The agent asks the passenger, "How did you get all this money?"

I'm off to Israel in 2 days. 2 days. That means in two days I will be sitting on a plane for 12 hours by myself trying to see how long that little tv screen, my magazines, the music/iPod, and crossword puzzles can possibly entertain me for. That means no matter how hard I try to pass time by sleeping, during those 12 hours I will wake up with a neck and back ache, my knees up to my chest cramped

Well it seems that with a close examination of this Haaretz article, with PM Sharon on the disabled list, criminal activity has significantly dropped. I wonder if governmental corruption played a major role in this stat? Or perhaps it just has to do with all those settlers off the streets and in their synagogues praying for their dear Prime Minister? As for other news, the Messiah is on its way

In the United States, army veterans make up about 8% of the entire population. Yet 23% of the homeless population (the gross majority being mentally handicapped) are US veterans. Yesterday, as I was rushing home for my mother’s birthday, it was beginning to get dark and I was stopped by a large American man in front of a local grocery store. He was wearing a hat that said ‘Vietnam Vet’

I officially refuse to understand the logic behind the governments move to begin the eviction process of 8 families from Chevron Market, aka Shechunat Shalhevet. I mean the area we're talking about is tiny, its about roughly one block or so. Not to mention the fact that this is an area that Jews legally bought before the advent of the State of Israel albeit the inhabitants were chased out and

So, maybe it's just me, but I think it is so darn funny when an Israeli attempts to have a conversation with an American. Israelis have this stereotype about Americans, that they can out-smart, out-bargain, out-talk, out-wit, out-stare, out-do and over-do, under-do, and in-do anything an American can. It's a little petty and has a lot to do with the competitiveness that comes with an over

I went to the Kotel today for the first time since arriving in Israel to see candle lighting. Of course, the traffic was so insane that I missed candle lighting, but I did get to daven maariv at the Kotel, which was nice.And theeeeeeeeen, I met up with fellow Punks-blogger Moshe (Elder Punk), who is spending the year studying in Israel, for dinner.

So, winter break is here and a bunch of Punks have escaped…to the land of milk and honey where winter is less harsh. It seems though that something strange has happened……Winter hasn’t come yet.It’s so weird. Ever since The Nucular Jew left it seems that winter left with him. As anyone in New York knows, it was a rough last half of autumn. It was cold, windy, brutal, and oh yeah there was snow;

No one's posted since like Tuesday night. So I figured why not post a joke. But not just any joke, a really good dumb blonde joke. Here goes:This blonde gets on a flight to Miami, and during the flight she decides she doesn’t want to sit in coach. So she gets up and she walks past the first class curtain and sits in one of the seats. Now the flight attendant sees this and walks over to the blonde

Maxwell (the eight year old boy I baby-sit) and I were coloring a Chanukah-themed coloring book filled with pictures of war scenes from the battles against Antiochus.

This reminded me of Moshe posting the other day when he made a comment on how Christmas is the predominate holiday in this country. Christmas is great but as Adam Sandler said in his Hanukkah song, "Instead of one day of
