Kids, Bad Things Happen to Good People
Posted on 04/28/2014 by Gila Rose in Israel
Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Around the world, the day is marked with ceremonies and somberness, memorial sirens and reflection. The kids will talk about it in school. In Israel, shops and...
A Double Life
Posted on 12/17/2013 by Gila Rose in Israel
So, this started as a cheerful little post about the crazy weather we experienced last week. I mean, this desert country had SNOW! And lots of it! A foot and a half in Jerusalem, and—more importantly for...
Army Service, Part II: This Time It's Personal
Posted on 06/12/2013 by Gila Rose in Israel
