A picture

Another one from the Matza bakery.

Women Baking Matza

This week I went along with my teacher and friend Gil, to take pics at this matza factory where women are employed to do most of the work - this is apparently very unusual, as it's usually the men who have the important job of matza baking.

SMS... ?

Went to Jerusalem yesterday with my good friend Mirjam - me: running around taking pics of all sorts of interesting things, she: having a good laugh at me taking pics of "all sorts of interesting (??!!??) things :)))))

General strike.... garbage!

Last week there was a general strike in Israel - no banks, no postoffices, no trains, no..... people to collect the garbage. Luckily, in Modiin they DID collect the garbage, in Tel Aviv they didn't.......

Waiting for the train...

Mommy, Daddy, little girl and...... hat :)

Hashkedia Porachat! (or: the Almond tree is blossoming :)

Tu B'Shvat is here, and as the song says :

Hashkedia Porachat! (השקדיה פורחת)

This is the time of year when the Almond trees are blossoming - beautiful!!

New(ish) Moon over Modiin

A beautiful evening - a low new moon over Modiin!

Mobile phone pic :)))

Ok, I did it! I upgraded from my old (ancient), little, plain (can do nothing but make phonecalls) Nokia phone to a nice shiny brand new can-do-so-much smart phone! :)

I feel very uncomfortable taking pics with it, as I still believe that that is what my camera is for - but here goes, my first mobile phone pic!

Construction site

Just a really cool site :)))

Modiin, 1/2012

Channuka Sameach!!

Laughing dolls

While in Tel Aviv the other day, I saw these dolls displaying underwear... I actually found them to be rather scary!!

Peaceful

Found this guy meditating in the park yesterday :) He looked so peaceful and oblivient to everything going on around him....

Date picking

It's that time of year - the time when the dates are ready to be picked, and the municipality sends trucks and people to pick and sort the dates from the trees around the city (Modiin).

Floods in the mall!

Our local mall (Modiin) was flooded yesterday because of the hard rain! The funny thing is that it onl;y rained for a very short time, but it was HARD!
