Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

 

Honestly, politics are not the theme of this blog, and this post probably shouldn't be here, but after  talking to multiple people non-israelis, watching some news and reading some internet articles especially on Russian news sites, I've got the urge to write this.

It is really difficult to write about this subject, trying to collect all the facts and all the pieces of history, coping with my emotions - I really want to be understood correctly and want to help others to understand the core of the conflict. 

  

I see that multiple media sources and many people consider Israel an aggressor and almost a terrorist state, and I think it's because they are ignorant of the situation and lacking essential details of the conflict. I would like to clarify some facts and answer some questions (if there will be such) and hopefully my post can be useful for reasonable and adequate people among you.

Waking up with Bubik

Two and a half month have gone by since our Galushka was born! She becomes cuter and cuter each day. I cant stop kissing, hugging her and looking at her all day long. My favorite thing though, is waking up with her by my side. She opens her eyes and always smiles, starts cooing an making sounds like she wants to say smth. I'm saying:" Boker Tov Bubik! Galushka sheli!!" (Good morning my doll, my Galushka!) and we spent about half an hour in bed talking and cuddling!! She lays on her back and kicks with her arms and legs! So funny, such a joy! What am I going to do when I will go back to work? booo....

Russ & Daughters

Russ & Daughters@179 E. Houston St. New York, NY 10002|Tel 212.475.4880, is probably one of the oldest Jewish delis in NYC. Established in 1914, they are still serving the best  lox, herring fish, liver pate, dry fruits or chocolates. Non ending lines is a constant here, but it is well worth to wait.
Once in a while, Sunday morning, we stop at R&D for a fresh super heebster and chopped liver bagels, as well as for some other goodies for our fridge! Get prepared, the sandwich or bagel menu is authentically thought out in a jewish-yidish theme. Yammi!

    

Babymoon does exist!

so, the first time I heard the word baby-moon, it seemed liked complete bull..t.  How much can you milk it? It doesn't exist!
But... after a while of being pregnant (though feeling great) i realized: ups..this is probably my last opportunity to get away. Next time I will be traveling, will happen at least in a year from now.. and this is a lot!!

OK the decision was made, baby-moon does exist!

Since tracking and heavy cultural trips were totally not on my mind at this point , and I did hear about few heroins that went backpacking on their 6 month pregnancy to all kinds of  weird destinations, I thought resting by the pool in a sunny location will be just perfect and most of all responsible to the baby!
Next question was: what is the shortest flight from NYC to any destination with beach and blue waters?

Cafe Sabarsky

Cafe Sabarsky  is a NYC jem, hidden in Neue Gallery on Museum mile. Fortunately most of the tourists pass it by to Metropolitan and Guggenheim museums without even noticing this true Viennese eatery.
