349. Praying for Love

silver 18th C. sidur (prayer book) cover, Diaspora Museum, Ramat Aviv

Today I joined a group of Olim (people who immigrated to Israel) on a tour of the Diaspora museum.

As they begin their journey of life in Israel, I am busy finding hearts and praying for love - gotta lev it!

If you too connect to your roots in Israel, and are considering making Aliyah (immigration to Israel), check out the Jewish Agency's web site http://www.jewishagency.org/JewishAgency/English/Aliyah/Aliyah+Info

269. Almost as Sweet as Susan

cake, Ramat Aviv

Susan has known me since I was born, and each time I am invited to her house I feel like I get a dose of good old fashioned motherly love. When I was a vegetarian Susan would go out of her way to make an added spread just for me, and then she would send me home with a week's worth of leftovers. Today, amongst the five desserts to choose from Susan made this heart-shaped cake which is now sitting in my fridge - Thank you so much Susan!

This heart is almost as sweet as Susan.

Susan's heart would love for others to help children with cancer http://www.israelcancer.org/home.html

One minute before the end of the fast...in big anticipation for the long awaited cup of coffee....

This heart loves caffeine!
