Last Sunday evening (March 5) , a group of concerned Shomrei members met to explore what Shomrei as a community could do to help refugees and immigrants in our area.
Why did people come to the meeting?
Immigrants are the lifeblood of our country. If we betray immigrants, we betray ourselves.
I’m a descendant of an immigrant. The way this country accepted my family, that’s the way we should be accepting these immigrants. (more…)

Yasher koach to our preschool parents! This was the first of four MESH cafes involving our preschool parents. Bridget Placek is coordinating that effort. Melissa Elbaum was scheduled to be head chef but unfortunately was sick and unable to come. Robin Hobart was assistant chef. Josh and Jessica Kline contributed the salad course. (more…)
Secret Tel Aviv listed 2 nearby places as the best hummus in Tel Aviv. We google mapped directions, taking a screen shot to save them since we would not have wifi once we left the hotel.
We easily found place #1 but it was closed; so we followed the directions to place #2.
Did I say that we had saved the directions as a screen shot? That means no corrections if (when) we took a wrong turn. We were at the market in the Yemenite quarter. The last places were closing up for the day. It was very dark. We could not see any street signs. And the street was turning into a stream as shop owners hosed down the sidewalks in front of their stalls.
Lost and Found in Tel Aviv: A Tale of Two Devices
We arrived in Israel after a 9 hour flight – unable to sleep and too tired to read, I watched a movie and numerous episodes of Downtown Abbey during the flight.
I am gathering my things to deplane, but I cannot find my cellphone. I last had it just before take off when I switched it to airplane mode. So it cannot be in my backpack, which was in the overhead compartment. That leaves only my back pockets and my very tiny purse, neither a place where a cell phone could stay hidden. I check the seat pocket and the floor. The cell phone is nowhere to be found. (more…)
