Dear clients and friends, Happy 2009!

I hope you had wonderful and nurturing holidays!

I found it fascinating that this year Hanukkah started on the 21st of December, the winter solstice. Solstice is the annual dark night of the seasons and also the turning point of returning light.  According to the Kabala (Jewish mysticism) during this time of year there is a cosmic opening for miracles. By lighting candles (Hanukkah or Christmas candles) we can enter the realm of miracles and draw it into our lives. This year I am setting the intention of peace and tolerance within ourselves and others and hold the consciousness that we CAN achieve miracles not only for our private lives but for the whole wide world.

On a personal note:

Still and I finished another adventure of creating a film for the intelligent use of water film competition. It was great fun, though stressful at times. Once again, we were invited to travel to CA as finalists. Unfortunately, we did not make the grand prize. If you would like a copy of our film "Gold for Gold" please ask me.

    My girls are doing great, Mimi and Susu are in 7th grade in Horizons and Ana took a semester off and will start going to CU this January.

    This November I visited my family in Israel, for my niece's Bat Mitzvah. I am embarrassed to say that this visit revolved around Nes Cafe, food and a lot of yapping.  One restaurant that left a great impression on me was family owned in a remote Arab village on Mount Carmel. They welcome you warmly and ask that you will only eat small amounts, which is a very hard task to accomplish since the food is irresistible. There is no menu but you are constantly served with a wide variety of foods and pungent flavors. As soon as we decided that we can't eat any more, another dish was served! The food and the Mediterranean views were to die for!

Another place I love where you can find the best Hummus in the world is actually right in my hometown in an old neighborhood funky gas station restaurant. (Call me for directions…;)

   I was recently 'diagnosed' (by my family members) with occasional "bad" breath... Though it's not a life threatening condition for me, it might be deadly for you… so I  wanted to extend my sincere apology if I offended you in the past, and wanted to ask you that in the future to please use the code word: "got mint?" and I will get your hint…I have mint gum  and Altoides available all the time…J

  Save the date: My father and his life partner Ruthie who are both holocaust survivors were invited by the CU Hillel, to participate in lectures during the holocaust awareness week. The event starts on Feb 23rd through the 27th and will hold variety of lectures and movies. My father is scheduled to speak on Tuesday the 24th at 6 or 7pm. Once the schedule is confirmed I will send an email link. I hope you will be able to come and hear their remarkable stories.
