Jacob Shwirtz has moved to Israel and has taken his blog with him.
Dramatic excerpt:
It wasn't long in the coming. I have now lived through Israel's first terrorist suicide bombing since moving here (on Christmas day). From what I understand, it wasn't too far away from the apartment. I had no idea what was going on until the phone rang - waking me up from a nap (still dealing with jet lag) - it was my mother wanting to know if everything was ok. Everything was ok except for my nap.
Undramatic excerpt:
The Irish pub was the only place I had seen a Christmas tree since arriving in Israel. It is weird but I almost missed Christmas in New York. The holidays aren't over yet - New Years is just as big here as in New York. For some strange reason they call it the "Sylvester."
