On October 4, 2014 By JordanIn IsraelLeave a comment

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 …

This past weekend was the holiest of Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. It is the tradition to fast for 24 hours, spend some time in services praying and reflect on your transgressions over the past year. Here in Israel the entire country shuts down, no stores are open and no one is …

A Day of Firsts

It's not every day you find your core muscles again, relax in bubbles, conquer a kitchen appliance and bake the perfect holiday cookies. Saturday was that day. I started my morning with a half hour core workout class at my YMCA. I've been building my core through swimming, spinning and planks, but yesterday was the …

Staycation

On January 27, 2013 By JordanIn About, Family, San Francisco, Travel1 Comment

It would be lovely to dip my toes in the warm lapping waters of the Caribbean right now, but unfortunately I do not have the money or the time to escape on that kind of weekend adventure. I can, however, explore the Bay Area and all it has to offer with the wonder and awe of …

I decided to save some of my vacation days and head in to work for 2 days this week. Well, that was no easy task after so many days off. I got up early with the cat as usual and took care of some emails. Then I somehow convinced myself that it would be a …

That's right folks, sushi on boats. What better way to spend an evening than watching delicious sushi grade fish parade in front of you for your mealtime pleasure. Last night we visited Japan Town for a delightful seafood meal with friends. Here is what happens when you sit here long enough... (and that's just the …

Santa’s coming and we’re still eating latkes

On December 24, 2012 By JordanIn FamilyLeave a comment

My Chanukah this year has been very spread out. Between celebrating with the family when I was home for Thanksgiving, partying it up with friends on the actually holiday and then celebrating a belated festival of lights with Dave and his family, it has been one great holiday season. I hope all of you are …

Making the holiday spirit last

On December 23, 2012 By JordanIn About, Family, Friends1 Comment

It's that time again. Sweets, Long lines, Good food, and enjoying all of these things with friends and family. The holidays bring people together and inspire others to reach out to long lost friends and family, but I think that this should not just be relegated to the holiday season. I think that we should …
