A Note and a Boat



The Holy Grail

There's a special kind of a murmur in the synagogue during the World Cup, an Israeli-Orthodox journalist said on the post-game TV studio, Saturday night. A soft whisper that finds its way to the interested believers' ears. Even without watching television on Shabbat, whoever needs to know the score - will find it.

Meanwhile landing in JFK, the EL-AL captain announced the final score in the USA- Ghana match, after announcing the local time and weather. USA lost.
Summer 2010 belongs to Germany, no matter what happens this week.
















I arrived in Ben Gurion Airport with the news about the flotilla.
Since then, I've had a lot of questions and feelings, but not one clear line of thought.

Leaving Israel 21 days later, this poster on the long white brick wall leading to the gate, seemed like a good wishful thinking to leave the Middle-East with.

Levant part 1


I arrived with the flotilla, it was quite the welcome home you'd expect after six month in New York. I tried write about it, but it was very challenging. I wrote, but never posted it.
I'm out of service and off-line and I'm loving it.
It's easier dealing with frustration here then there. It helps being closer to the eye of the storm sometimes.

Meanwhile
On the beach, business as usual.
Jellyfish and helicopters are the only threat to the Mediterranean's last pearl.
