Everybody wants spirituality. To be a good person means to walk in G-d's ways. How does that translate to reality? The only guidebook to spirituality that has stood the test of time is the Hebrew Bible. The Bible says that the Jews will be a light onto the nations. But if you are not a born Jew, you have to convert, which is not so easy!! If you do convert, it is a lot of work to be a Jew (three times a day prayer, keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath).
This blog will show you how to be Jewish without the work!!

Yehuda Lave is an author, journalist, psychologist, rabbi, spiritual teacher, and coach, with degrees in business, psychology and Jewish Law. He works with people from all walks of life and helps them in their search for greater happiness, meaning, business advice on saving money, and spiritual engagement.
A description of family activities, hikes and historic sites in the north of Israel.
This website covers the following five areas: the Golan Heights, Upper Galilee, Lower Galilee, Eastern Upper Galilee (including the Hula Valley) and Lake Kinneret and Jordan Valley. Each of the 5 areas is sub-categorized under Family Activities, Hikes and Historic Sites.
This is a public service with no paid advertising. The site includes maps for tiyulim so you can follow your progress while you are hiking. Plus fascinating essays. There are also clear directions by Waze and Moovit for public transport.
The Three Musketeers at the Kotel
The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember.
The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave.

Israeli Scientists Develop Invisible Facemask to Block Germs By Hana Levi Julian

Air Screen Fluidic facemask created at the Technion in Haifa
Researchers at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology have developed a revolutionary invisible facemask to protect wearers against the transmission of COVID, MERS, influenza, and other respiratory viruses.

Although conventional facemasks help protect against disease transmission, recent scientific literature shows that they also present adverse psychological and physiological effects. They reduce facial identification and emotion recognition, adversely affect oral communication, and can cause headaches and skin problems. Wearing masks throughout the workday also results in a lack of focus, as well as reduced attention and patience in a wide range of professions.
As a result of these difficulties, many people wear masks incorrectly – on or below their mouths – which greatly reduces protection.
Now, a Technion team led by Professors Moshe Shoham and David Greenblatt has come up with a new solution to the conventional mask dilemma by creating an invisible "air-screen" in front of the wearer's face.
The air-screen originates from within a lightweight filter-covered unit mounted on the visor of a cap. Several major advantages became clear: the air-screen protects the eyes, nose, and mouth without negative effects on facial identity, emotion recognition, or oral communication. The air screen is also reusable, so it does not pollute the environment.
Recently published research, based on experiments conducted in Prof. Greenblatt's laboratory, demonstrated the air-screen's efficacy by effectively blocking aerosols produced during oral communication, as well as large droplets produced by coughing and sneezing. It also removes quiescent aerosol-laden air from in front of the face by a process known as "entrainment."
David Keisar and Anan Garzozi, students in the Nancy and Stephen Grand Technion Energy Program, were instrumental in conducting and analyzing the experimental data, and in developing a theoretical physics-based mathematical model of the air-screen.
The Technion recently licensed the technology to Wisdome Wearables Ltd, a new startup currently in the process of commercializing the product. The company is seeking partners to realize this disruptive technology for the benefit of those at high-risk of suffering from respiratory viruses.

Hud Bannon: You gonna let them shoot your cows out from under you on account of a schoolbook disease?Patricia Neal
(as Alma Brown)
Hud Bannon: You're half native already. I've never seen you in a pair of shoes since you have work here. Alma Brown: I wore'em once. I think to get married in. White satin pumps. I don't have'em anymore or the man either.
Homer Bannon: Little by little the look of the country changes because of the men we admire. You're just going to have to make up your own mind one day about what's right and wrong.
Homer Bannon: That's your solution for getting out of a tight? To pass bad beef on to my neighbors who wouldn't know what they was getting? Or maybe risk starting an epidemic in the entire country? Hud Bannon: This country is run on epidemics, where you been? Price fixing, crooked TV shows, inflated expense accounts. How many honest men you know? Why you separate the saints from the sinners, you're lucky to wind up with Abraham Lincoln. Now I want out of this spread what I put into it, and I say let us dip our bread into some of that gravy while it is still hot. Homer Bannon: You're an unprincipled young man Hud. Hud Bannon: Don't let that worry you none. You got enough for both of us.
Homer Bannon: You don't care about people Hud. You don't give a damn about 'em. Oh, you got all that charm goin' for ya. And it makes the youngsters want to be like ya. That's the shame of it because you don't value anything. You don't respect nothing. You keep no check on your appetites at all. You live just for yourself. And that makes you not fit to live with.
[a cowboy has taken exception to Lon looking at his girlfriend] Hud Bannon: Now wait a minute. You sure you didn't give him some encouragement? 'Cause I was sittin' way across the room and got a little encouraged watchin' you move around inside that dress. Angry cowboy: Why, you... Hud Bannon: Now I don't want to be hoggish. Lon, you want some of him? [Hud sucker punches the cowboy]
[Hud has grabbed a rifle and shot at the buzzards] Homer Bannon: Don't do that, Hud; they help keep the country clean. Besides, it's against the law. Hud Bannon: Well, I've always thought the law was meant to be interpreted in a lenient manner. Sometimes I lean one way and sometimes I lean the other.
