I won’t have time to write a substantial post for another day or two – and no, for those of you who are wondering, I haven’t forgotten about the photos of Houses from Within – so meanwhile I’m bringing you the trailer for a hilarious Israeli documentary film called The Worst Company in the World.

In its May-June issue, the Columbia Journalism Review has published three perspectives on the media’s coverage of Operation Cast Lead, also known as the Gaza War. One of them is by your favourite Israeli blogger (that’d be me).
Taghreed El-Khodary is the Gaza correspondent for the New York Times. Her reporter’s notebook piece is called [...]
Sorry for the delay in posting my photos from last week’s Houses from Within. I’ve actually been busy writing an article about it for a magazine (more details once it’s been published). Since I was busy taking notes I didn’t have time to take many photos. But despair not – it’s all good: I was [...]
Over at One Jerusalem, my friend Eyal has blogged about a fundraiser for an indisputably worthy cause – an organization that provides a caring, supportive environment for homeless and/or at-risk children. Orr Shalom recruits highly-qualified, unusually giving people to provide loving homes for children who have left or been taken from abusive homes. Take a [...]
If you’re the type of person who peers through the front windows of expensively renovated apartments and fantasizes about an opportunity to see inside, this weekend in Tel Aviv is for you. For the second or third (I can’t remember which) year in a row, the municipality is hosting Houses from Within – organized tours [...]
I read a lot of Israeli blogs in Hebrew and in English. I think I’ve mentioned that the two blogospheres are basically parallel worlds: they are concerned with different issues; and, with only a few exceptions, they are not aware of one another. For a long time, internet activist Hanan Cohen was the only Hebrew-language [...]
Noam Sheizaf, journalist and proprietor of the ever-interesting and often provocative Promised Land blog, brings us a hilarious post about the super-sensitive issue of Jewish-Arab sex in Israel. It’s a subject that often elicits Faulkner-esque responses in our otherwise liberal society; luckily, we have people like Yedioth Aharonoth columnist Karin Arad to poke hilarious, irreverent [...]
The Tel Aviv refugee camp is clustered between the old central bus station and the spectacularly hideous new one, which was constructed in 1993. Both are located in the southern neighbourhood of Neve Sha’anan, connected by a pedestrian walkway called Neve Sha’anan Street. Once the area was known for its citrus groves and the elegant [...]
Paula Honigman, 85 years old, walked into Cafe Noach this morning, sat down at one of the tables and looked around her with an expression of barely-controlled excitement. Suddenly she stood up, walked over to the wall and pointed at a black-and-white photograph. “I know those people!” she said. “I used to work here, when [...]
A friend of mine, who works in finance, was literally crying with laughter as he described the following (hilarious) clip to me over dinner tonight.
The Wikipedia entry on Bernie Madoff.
And here is a very sad article in the Wall Street Journal about the age-old Jewish fear. It doesn’t matter whether or not the fear is [...]
