A frustrated former journalist and professional cynic’s thought-streams while out walking his dogs, including on Israel and Tel Aviv (and their colourful natives), and a single’s life therein, from the perspective of something of an outsider.

This blog delves into the richness of our weekly Torah readings for wisdom on all aspects of creativity and the creative person’s life. You won’t always find traditional interpretations here, and sometimes what you find will be downright irreverent. Above all, this is meant to be an exploration useful and open to all creative people, whether religious or not, whether Jewish or not, whether a professional artist or a part-time amateur. I find that the tree of life that is the Torah is endlessly fruitful, just like the artist’s life itself – and I’m happy to offer up some of the fruit.

Written in "A Day in the Life" format, this blog has been created for those of you who have been asking about the Aliyah to Israel process and merging into Israeli society. Categories include: Aliyah Planning, Final Weeks in America, Arrival in Israel, Assimilation/Immigration - the Absorption Process, Buyer Reports, Education - School & Ulpan, Holidays in the Holy Land, Tiyulim-Trips, Definitions, Nuts & Bolts - Technical Stuff, Politics IMHO, and Torah Commentary.
