Arik Einstein - Kshe At Boha

I'm sorry for the You Tube music post. I never watch You Tube videos on people's blogs, however, lets agree that Arik Einstein is a worthy exception. A friend I made in Tel Aviv, Achinoam, showed me a bunch of Israeli pop music on You Tube, and Arik Einstein was one of them. Problem is, no one in the world speaks hebrew except Israelis so their media has a tough time beyond their Hebrew speaking borders. Regardless Arik Einstein along with Shalom Hanoch and a cast of smart, funny Hebrews were making some pretty solid jams. Arik Einstein was also a Comedian. Thanks Achinoam for enlightening us.

Back From The Holy Land

Here are some pictures I took in Israel. I got back to LA two days ago but haven't slept well yet, jet lag is a strange thing. I caught hell in the airport leaving Tel Aviv from a security agent. Among more relevant questions, she asked if I was Jewish, if I had a Bar-mitzvah, the name of my congregation, how observant i was... I've never felt so guilty for not believing in god in my life. Going through security/ border crossings is always nerve-racking, this was terrifying. Multiple agents and 30 minutes of questioning later, I was free to go through 3 more security check points. Serious stuff. I'll post more pictures soon.
