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.”
