I hope you enjoy it as much as I did… June 18, 2010 Israel breathes; world condemnation instantaneous Andrew Pessin -Satire- Israel breathed this morning.

I had such an awesome day today. First of all, I got to sleep in till about 8:30. It was glorious. Then, Keisha and I went to Antigua around 11:30. We went to one of our favorite spots, Gaia, where we again had the most amazing hummus and Gyros. We arrived just in time for [...]

The six points symbolize God’s rule over the universe in all six directions.Through the Jewish people’s long and [...]
Before I went left for Bethlehem in December, I posted this article about the Al-Basma Special Education Center for Youth and Young Adults in Beit Sahour. I was so excited about visiting this place and it did turn out to be my absolute Favorite Place that we visited. And not only were we able to visit [...]
About a month ago, I was pondering all the free time I had on my hands since getting my Big, Fancy Degree… and how much I didn’t like it. It was so terribly strange going from getting up every day at 8am and being busy, most nights, until 11 or 12pm to being able to sleep [...]
