Remember Me?

On July 12, 2015July 12, 2015 By JordanIn About, Family, Friends, Israel, Yoga1 Comment

I'm embarrassed to say that it has been so long since I last posted on my dear blog that it took me a few minutes to figure out how to even create a new blog post. So, if you've forgotten, this is me: And while I am still Israeli, I am no longer living in Israel. …

That movie with Keira Knightly

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 …

Home is where…

On June 15, 2014 By JordanIn About, Family, Friends, Travel3 Comments

To answer this statement I first have to answer, where is home? Growing up, home consisted of the house I grew-up in and my immediate family. But, now that I have reached my mid/late twenties (I'm not letting go of that "mid" just yet), I have created several different homes and my family has grown. Two weeks ago I left …

Reaching for the Rungs

On December 9, 2013December 10, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, Travel, Work2 Comments

Well, all I can say is that I am living life and it is moving more quickly than I ever could have imagined. My days of Bay Area-living seem hazy and distant, but it's only been a few months since my feet last pulled me up the steep steps of Fillmore Street. I can almost …

Boo!

I hope I didn't scare you. I know I haven't written in a long time so I hope my presence back on my blog isn't too startling. Life's been busy in this part of the world. Not only have I been writing blog posts all day for the start up I currently work for (if …

Where have I been

On October 16, 2013 By JordanIn Cat, Exercise, Family, Internship, Israel, Running, UncategorizedLeave a comment

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

On September 26, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, San Francisco, TravelLeave a comment

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 …

That Something Special

On September 14, 2013 By JordanIn About, Internship, Israel, Nightlife, TravelLeave a comment

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 …

Checking In

On September 8, 2013September 8, 2013 By JordanIn About, Israel, TravelLeave a comment

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 …

Happy New Year

On September 4, 2013 By JordanIn About, IsraelLeave a comment

Yes, Happy New Year!! Today (in Israel) is the first day of the new Jewish year. It is a time to reflect on the past year and prepare for the year ahead, contemplating actions, dreams and feelings. It's amazing the amount of things that happen during a year and last year was a pretty full …

Hi, my name is Jordan, and I am a 29 year-old yogi. At the start of this blog I was a half marathoner, and while I may not be running around the Bay Area anymore, I still have plenty of steps to take, so come join me :)
