Heading to Oz
I’m heading back to Australia today to spend time with my dad. So you could say posting will be limited the next day or so, bar the sporadic post from one of my guest contributors.

More Prayers, Please
We almost lost my father last night, and to be completely honest, we don’t know how much time he has left. So please intensify your prayers for him (David ben Friedl). I would also like to take the opportunity to thanks all of you who have already prayed for my father, as well as those [...]

Asking For Your Prayers Again
My father is back in hospital and could really do with your continued prayers. His name is David ben Friedl.

Another Small Request
Last November, I asked that you keep my father – who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer – in your prayers. I received an overwhelming response, which is something for which I am extremely grateful. Since then, he has been fighting hard, and is thankfully still with us. However, in the last few weeks, he has [...]

I’m Back (With Free Anecdote!)
I’m finally back in Israel after my 5-hour-flight to Singapore, 3-hour layover, 13-hour-flight to Frankfurt, 10-hour layover, and 4-hour-flight to Israel. At least physically speaking. My brain should be here any day now. As usual, my flights provided me with a blogworthy anecdote, which I think aptly demonstrates why people refer to native Israelis as [...]

Heading Home
I’m heading back to Israel today, via a number of different countries I won’t identify due to the global fatwa on my head. I might be able to do some airport blogging, but chances are I will be as brain-dead as I was in Hong Kong on my way here. In the meantime, given that [...]

Some Surprisingly Relevant Photos From Perth
Peace Grove, East Perth Close-Up of Peace Grove Plaque Notice the graffiti on the plaque, which seems to say, amongst other (illegible) things, “JEBS.” Which I assume is how morons write “JEWS.”

Small Request
Longtime readers of this blog will know I am not one to reveal too much about my personal life on here. The focus of this blog is Israel and the Middle East, and I like to keep things informative and entertaining. At least that’s my goal; whether or not I succeed in this is something [...]

Update From A Weary Traveller
I’m in Hong Kong airport at the moment, having just completed the 10+ hour flight to here from Israel. The flight was surprisingly good, due in no small part to the fact I had my own screen and console for selecting movies, television shows and games. The sad thing is, I probably would have given it all a miss [...]
Heading to Oz
Later today, I’m heading off to Australia for a 3-week visit. While I am going to be preoccupied with other matters, I do not discount the possibility of some blogging (and possibly even some podcasting) while I am away. In the meantime, you always have Elder (and possibly Brian of London) to fill the void.
