Tel Aviv Turns Off the Lights for Earth Hour 2008
For the first time in history, Tel-Aviv will be representing Israel in the global Earth Hour 2008 and turning off the lights for one hour of energy-free bliss.
Unfortunately, as we have yet to hear about separation of church and state, let alone separation of church and globe, due to the Jewish Sabbath, Tel Aviv will […]
Children of Israel: I Was Proud of You Last Night
Last night I attended the massive rally that took place at Rabin square in Tel Aviv with my sister, an English teacher at an Israeli high school. Despite minimal promotion and a Euro 2008 game against Russia that was broadcasted at the exact same time (Israel won 2:1, by the way), more than 100,000 people […]

Hugged by a Random Stranger
Last night I got my first free hug from a stranger.
I was sitting with some girlfriends at a Tel-Aviv coffee shop, when we suddenly saw three guys in their twenties walking with signs that read “FREE HUG”.
Feeling weirdly spontaneous, a friend and I jumped at the opportunity. And I have to say: IT WAS SO […]
Free Hug Anyone? Going Once, Going Twice…
In the midst of a typical Tel Aviv day, 3 regular people, just like you and me, set out to make a difference. They had no secret agenda - they just wanted to get out there and hug someone, believing that it will make us all feel a lot better, and make the world a […]

The Power of the People
Look at this picture: It is from the protest going on right NOW at Rabin Square, in the heart of Tel-Aviv.
100,000 people from across the spectrum, religious, secular, right, left, from the cities and from the countryside, the old and young, gather tonight to demand that Olmert resign and take advantage of the opportunity to […]
