You know. That one with that famous green dress? Atonement? Yes, that is the name of the film, and also another name for yesterday. In Judaism yesterday's holiday is known as the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), the holiest day of the year. This is the day we reflect on all the things we are sorry for …

Where have I been
Let's just say that when you are blogging all day for someone else, coming home to write your own blog takes a back seat. For the past few weeks I have been settling into my internship at a tech startup (www.tipranks.com) writing daily posts about news in the finance world and coming up with clever …
What a Trip
Yup, it's been a while and that's because I have been very busy traveling. First I spent an overnight in the Golan Heights, hiking and exploring the sights with my internship program. It was nice to spend a short time with everyone on the program and it was even nicer to be hiking. It made …
Checking In
Sometimes I forget that I'm no longer in America. Tel Aviv has the buzz of New York, the accessibility of San Francisco and the coast of LA (but better of course), and I feel as comfortable as I would be in my home country. But then there are those moments, those still frames that ooze …
Two days of food
I am not sure how many of you have been to Israel or how many of you have had the chance to enjoy fantastic Middle Eastern food, but I am in heaven here! The fresh produce, Israeli dips and bountiful spices keep my taste buds satisfied morning, noon and night. Here are are some of …
WIAW – Recipes
Time for some fun food! Healthy guacamole, woman peas! Yup, I made it with peas!I used 3 very ripe avocados and half a bag of frozen peas (that I defrosted first). I hand blended the avocados and peas together, but I like my guac chunky so I didn't blend it until it was smooth. Then I …
Taking it Back
On June 30, 2012 my life changed forever. In a freak, let's prove the existence of physics running accident, I broke my left hip. After major surgery and months of recovery I am back in tip top shape. Other than a higher risk of arthritis and some weaker leg muscles that will slowly even out, …
Little Obsessions
Most of my days are fairly routine in the sense that I go to work all day (normally with some sort of break in the middle, if I'm lucky), then I take myself over to the gym and either spin or do a body weight workout, and then come home and make dinner, followed by …
WIAW – with a sprinkle of stress on top
As I said earlier this week, change is stirring in the air, and along with the aroma of excitement, the taste of stress has creeped in. Taking a leap and leaving the safety of the usual day-to-day is a great way to truly find yourself. To grow you need to rise up to challenges that …
Time to break out the summer food
Well it's not exactly time for barbecues, but it's never too early to break out the breakfast smoothie. As the smell in the air grows crisper and the ground thaws with the touch of the sun, I think it's appropriate to make a fruity and refreshing morning meal. Yesterday I broke out the frozen fruit and …
