Karma Yoga – That Invisible Dust, and India’s Garbage Problem
Performing Karma yoga at Tushita’s Buddhist Center put in perspective India’s tremendous garbage problem. Should karma yoga be individual or social / planetary? An unexpected outing allowed a view of the “inside” and “outside” of a spiritual retreat.
Jerusalem’s Alternative
Tiger pants and tight leather,
Firm breasts over high heels
Wafts of air picking up mini skirts
Touching soft flesh
Coiled into ringed bellybuttons.
Freak Wave
You came onto my life
Like a freak wave
Everything rose,
Then crashed over the deck
Doomsday Preppers, Cumbre Vieja, and Israel’s Mamads
As American doomsday preppers prepare for the apocalypse or the mega-tzunami, Israelis put their trust in the Mamad, or protected space. As to the “rest of the world”…
Wolf Spiders and Buddhist Compassion
A wolf spider in one’s room can be a challenging experience, but between my Hindu landlady and Tushita Buddhist Center I got a mini enlightenment on how to tackle it.

The Israeli Phenomenon in India, Part 2 – Tushita Meditation Center
Israelis in Tushita Buddhist Meditation Center, Dharamkot, are over-represented 63 times over the other 11 leading countries of students origin. Tushita offers 10-day silent retreats, short courses and drop-in meditations.
The Israeli Phenomenon in India, Part 1
Israelis desert their homeland for the High Holidays. Warmed relations with Saudi enable air carriers to fly direct, shrinking the continent for the India-bound Israeli. And the crowd is not what you think…
The Miserable Lot of the Israeli Car
The typical Israeli car lives a tough, precarious life from birth to death.
Route 90 and the Israeli Driver
Route 90 is one of the most beautiful scenic routes in Israel, but poses an immense challenge for the best of Israeli drivers, and most of us are far from best… The bulk of the road is still a 2-laner, carrying salt trucks from the Dead Sea, car carriers from the Eilat Port and the usual load of impatient Isreli drivers. This can be a recipe for trouble.
The Big Israeli Escape
This year, statistics show that, on average, every Israeli will travel out of the country. Many go to India.

Point Finger at Polluter
India’s garbage problem. Despite the glorious esthetic and spiritual traditions, the problem of waste accumulation and inadequate disposal is undermining India’s life and beauty. Change is coming but slow.

The Tamed Shrew
What a waste
The tamed shrew –
She could have won an Olympic gold,
She could have been a magnificent mime,
She could have written plays better than Shakespeare,
Excuse the sacrilege
Letter to the Americas
Dear New Worlders,
We heard about your latest mass shooting ,
So we thought we’ll just mention, if we may,
that
Oh, we’ve seen it all already –
The Pursuit of Happiness
Happiness pursues me
But she is not my match.
I will always beat her
In this game of catch.

Galleries
Since a big part of this website is dedicated to world traveling, this collection of photo galleries is focused on the beauty, variety and creativity of the Land of Israel. An emphasis on the desert will soon be balanced with more pictures from the North and Center.
