 Help [[tsedaka|feed the hungry]] in Israel!
-This was a crazy week.  I was wandering all around the greater Jerusalem area (by foot and by bus); taking care of [[unemployment]] benefits, interviewing for jobs, looking for work and helping other people.  I had one very good interview which is turning into a second interview next week - so B"H, maybe I'll be employed again soon.

In other good news, the Kinneret rose 44cm -- almost half a meter -- just this week!  Go, Kinneret!!
 [http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3679168,00.html How do you get two camels into a Subaru]?  No, it's not a joke... just part of the funny middle-East. I battled the creeping vines and came out mostly unscathed, but the #$@$ roses are killing me!  They fight back.

	One of the things about living in the Land that takes some getting used to is just how strong connections are between vendors and their clients. We've been buying our meat from a particular butcher in the Mahane Yehuda shuq. This week we went shopping there, and I decided to go to the guy next door to him, because his prices are better and I'm unemployed. So I got my chickens, and as I'm walking back -- I encounter my regular butcher -- who takes me aside, and asks me, "Why didn't you buy from me? What's the matter? Do you ''know'' you were my first customer? How could you do this to me!?! Don't ever, ever, buy from anyone else! If you think my prices are too high, just tell me and I'll give you a discount!". Getting told-off by my butcher was surreal, but then so is life in the Land. It turns out the other guy wasn't any cheaper anyway.
