It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in. Love Rabbi Yehuda Lave. 5 Signs Your Family May Have Hidden Jewish Ancestry 12 of the World’s Most Interesting Sukkahs 12 of the World’s Most Interesting Sukkahs - Chabad.org 10 Wild Facts About Bears in Judaism By Yehuda Altein 10 Wild Facts About Bears in Judaism - Chabad.org RABBI SCHWARTZ’S TERRIBLE CONSTRUCTION JOKES OF THE WEEK You guys wanna hear an Israeli construction joke? ..... hold on I'm working on it. Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For instance, drilling a large hole is boring, but fastening two pieces of metal together is riveting. Berel and Yankel got a job as construction workers and have spent the week working on a street Berel turns to the Yanke and says, “I don’t want to work anymore, I will act crazy so the manager sends me home early”. He then proceeds to tie himself by the feet and swings around shouting, “Im a lightbulb, I’m a lightbulb!” Sure enough, the manager tells him to go home. Yankel, seeing the success his friend had, decided to start packing up his things. The manager asks, “What are you doing? The work isn’t finished yet!” To which the Yankel responds, “How am I supposed to see without a lightbulb?” Me: I had to quit my construction job because I wasn’t strong enough for the work. Friend: Did you give them your too weak notice? I never wanted to believe that my dad was stealing from his job at the construction site...But when I got home, all the signs were there. A construction worker walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt. The bartender asks: “What can I get you?” The construction worker says “One beer for me, and one for the road.” How does a Jewish mother change a lightbulb? "No, that's all right. I'll just sit here in the dark." What do they call it when two construction machines get into a physical altercation? A CAT fight A frog applies for a construction job. The engineer asks, "What can you do?" "Rivet." Little Chaim is selling lemonade by a construction site. His sign reads “1 cup for 25¢, 3 cups for $1 A construction worker stops by and asks to buy one cup of lemonade. "25 cents", says Chaim The construction worker then buys another one, and another one, paying 25 cents each. As the construction worker walks away, he turns around with a smile, and says: "Hey kid, you realize I just bought three cups for 75¢… Maybe lemonade stands aren’t your thing." "I guess you're right" says Chaim good-naturedly as he sets up the next 3 cups. David has done well for himself and is Mayor of a small town in Israel. One day, David and his wife Ilana are walking past a construction site. Suddenly, one of the construction workers stops and calls out "What's new, Ilana?" "Why, it's nice to see you again Avi," Ilana replies. She turns to introduce David to the construction worker, and they speak for several minutes. After David and Ilana continue on, he turns to her and asks how she knows Avi. "Oh," Andrea said. "We went to the same high school. I even thought about marrying him." David began to say. "You realise how lucky you are. If I hadn't come along, today you would be the wife of a construction worker!" Ilana replied without hesitation, "Not really. If I had married him, he'd now be a Mayor!".

Israel’s diamond industry collapses as veteran traders become taxi drivers and money changers Veteran dealers say half the traders have already left the exchange as lab-grown stones erode confidence, demand in China dries up, US tariffs hurt exports and once-thriving merchants are forced to reinvent themselves Israel’s diamond industry collapses as veteran traders become taxi drivers and money What are the unwritten rules of a happy life? And now they’re no longer unwritten. 1. A $50 watch and a $5000 watch both can tell you the time. But neither can buy you more time. So focus on living each day and each moment fully. And that buys you time and happiness. 2. A $20,000 car and a $200,000 car can both take you to your destination. But neither can take you to your dream. So focus each day on getting closer to that. And one day you’ll reach it. 3. A $500 TV and a $5000 home entertainment system can both entertain you. But neither can make you happy. So focus each day on being happy. Then you won’t need as much entertainment 4. A $200 outfit and a $2000 outfit can both make you look attractive. But neither can make you a beautiful person. So focus each day on becoming beautiful, not just attractive and you will. 5. A $50 pair of sneakers and a $500 workout outfit can both enable you to exercise. But neither can give you health. So focus each day on building health and enjoy it. 6. A $50 night out or a $500 night out with friends can be fun. But neither will guarantee friendship. So focus each day on being a friend. And you’ll have friends. 7. A $200,000 house and a $2,000,000 house will each provide you a place to live. But neither will guarantee you a happy family. So focus each day on building family. And you’ll have it no matter where you live. 8. A $500 wedding ring and a $50,000 wedding ring both signify you’re married. But neither will guarantee you, love. So focus each day on building love. And you’ll have a happy marriage. Having lots of money may mean you’re wealthy but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re rich. So focus each day instead of on becoming truly rich. And you’ll discover happiness as well. You can have a happy life as you focus on what really brings it instead of trying to buy it.
