I'm weird. I'm fun. I'm outgoing. I'm a spazz. I like to help. I over-analyze. Most importantly, I try to better myself every day.

“To separate between physical needs and spiritual needs is both counterproductive and futile. The spiritual breathes life into the physical and the physical rises to become spiritual in a perpetual chemistry of exchange.
Heal the soul and the body is renewed. Heal the body and the soul is empowered.”

But I really like the idea of dressing modestly that’s not so required there.
Ask my brother, because he knows better than anyone else that at home, I’m hardly modest, but in the last few months, I’ve been debating if I wanted to start following the halacha requirements about dressing…
hey! okay.. i know it’s scary thinking “i can’t be cute ever again!” if you start dressing modestly. and i also had that fear and when i started dressing modestly in my public high school and when summer hit.. and all the girls looked adorable.. i was craving the attention too. but in reality. i also looked stylish and cute and always got compliments on what i wore. you begin to realize that modest doesn’t necessarily mean unattractive . I buy cute sundresses and either add material to them or wear a tight black skirt or white skirt underneath (i can tell you the brand and everything) and it just adds on more material. and then u wear a white or black or whatever colored shell/long sleeved shirt underneath. and it might seem like you’re just piling clothes on but trust me you still look gorgeous and it looks stylish!<3 good luck with your decisions
I saw this last night on netflix and it definitely made me want to change my diet and eat less meat and dairy food- basically animal based products.
I already don’t eat meat during the week as much as i used to, only on shabbos.. but i LIVE on dairy. yogurt. milk. you name it :)
But.. i decided to give it a try.
today for breakfast i had oatmeal and instead of making it with milk i used homemade apple juice. also it had
-half banana sliced
-2 T craisins. you can use raisins but i just didnt have any.
-1/2 cup oats.
-1/2 cup apple juice. unsweetened.
this turned out to be very very sweet! maybe ill put less craisins in next time.
this meal is about 400 calories or even less. I did a bit of rounding.
P.S: I RECOMMEND WATCHING FORKS OVER KNIVES.even if you are skeptic. they use science and statistics to show how our consumption of animal based products have increased and so has cancer, diabetes, etc. ALso, it compares the western culture to other countries.. the american way of thinking is that we need milk for calcium and meat for protein and that it’s very good for us. this gives us an alternate view. ALso, it shows how eating a whole food plant based diet can actually reverse cancer and diabetes without unnecessary pills.
Hey, stupid question (maybe?) but what is the difference between a Kabbalat Shabbat and a “regular” Shabbat service?
Also, should I cover my head when attending services, and if yes, what is acceptable? (I don’t own any hats, so idk, I was thinking about a scarf or…
and no you do not need to cover your hair/head. that is only for married women.
WARNING: BRUTAL metabolic meltdown coming through!
This workout will leave you dripping with sweat and you’ll need to dig DEEP to finish all 4 rounds. It’s a SERIOUS challenge: make sure to modify for your level. It’s ALL bodyweight, no equipment required! You can kill this anywhere and with anyone.
I really LOVED this workout, and so did my bootcampers! Give it a try, but be prepared to SWEAT! Take breaks when you need to, and hydrate throughout.
9 exercises. 1000 reps. INTENSE. CRAZY. AMAZING.

29-May-12: 24-May-12: Terrorism from up close: low-intensity attacks continue
The chronology below picks up where we left off a week ago [“24-May-12: Terrorism from up close: the past few days”]. Like the earlier data, this is based on the Tayar Security Report, compiled by Yehudit Tayar.Thursday May 24, 2012
The village of El Arub, southwest of Bethlehem on the Bethlehem-to-Hebron road: A bottle is hurled at an IDF post
Hawara, south of Shechem (aka Nablus): Rocks are thrown at Israeli vehicles. A bus is damaged.
The vehicle of one of the Jewish residents of Hebron is blockaded on the main road between Kiryat Arba and Hebron. The driver is fortunately able to extricate herself from a potentially very harmful situation.
The Jewish section of Hebron: A bottle is thrown at an Israeli bus
Near El Fuar in the Southern Hebron Hills: A rock attack on an Israeli bus
El Arub (again): Rocks are hurled at vehicles traveling on the Gush Etzion-Hebron arterial road
Bet Umar, notorious site of a large number of rock throwing attacks: Additional such attacks directed at vehicles traveling the Gush Etzion-Hebron road
The road between Turmus Aya and Shilo in the Benjamin region: One again, rock attacks on Israeli vehicles
Kiryat Arba in the vicinity of the Palestinian Arab neighbourhood of Jebel Johar: A rock-throwing attack on the nearby IDF security post
Friday May 25, 2012
Once more (see our previous report), Palestinian Arabs engaged in systematic throwing of rocks from speeding vehicles at Israeli vehicles and their drivers and passengers, an action calculated to produce death and maiming (of the kind for which several Palestinian Arabs are currently on trial for the murders of Asher Palmer and his year old son - see “25-Sep-11: “Only” rock throwers - but now a father and his infant son are dead”). This time, the attack took place near the Israeli community of Ofra in the Benjamin region. An IDF patrol searched for the perpetrators, but so far without success.
Monday May 27, 2012
Hebron, near the IDF checkpost adjacent to the Tomb of the Patriarchs: A Palestinian Arab is apprehended with a large knife. He confesses to planning to attack and stab Israelis.
Hebron near Police Square: A Palestinian Arab is apprehended by security forces in possession of a knife and suspected of planning a terrorist attack
The Israeli community of Yitzhar in the Shomron (Samaria district): Palestinian Arabs start a fire in the community’s fields. Fire fighters Take two hours to bring the blaze under control. While they are engaged in fire fighting, the authorities as well as IDF security forces come under attack from Palestinian Arabs, one of whom - brandishing a knife - is shot and immobilized by security personnel.
Shuafat: Attacks by rocks and Molotov cocktails (firebombs) on security personnel.
In the vicinity of the city of Modi’in, halfway between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, five Molotov cocktails (firebombs) are hurled at a Border Police patrol close to the village of A-Tira
Tapuah security checkpost: As reported here yesterday (“28-May-12: Tapuah Junction: Yet another suspect nabbed with pipe bombs on him”), a Palestinian Arab is caught and remanded to custody after three firebombs and three pipebombs are found hidden in his possession - we reported on this
Hawara (again): An Israeli bus comes under rock attack
Bet Umar, notorious site of a large number of rock throwing attacks: Another such attack is made on an Israeli civilian bus traveling the Gush Etzion-Hebron road
Tuesday May 28, 2012
In the Israeli community of Kedumim, in the Shomron (Samaria district), there are multiple burglaries in the town’s mobile-home neighborhood
Kochav Yaakov: A suspected Palestinian Arab intruder penetrates the community, causing a state of high alert to go into effect. Previous such penetrations have had catastrophic outcomes.
Tekoa, south of Jerusalem: There are reports that over Shabbat, Israeli anarchists and Palestinian Arabs conducted a violent demonstration at the entrance to the community
Bet Umar: Yet another rock-hurling attack on an Israeli civilian bus traveling the Gush Etzion-Hebron road
Around 5 this morning, on the Israel-Egypt border near Carmit, 10 illegal Chinese infiltrators accompanied by four armed people-smugglers are caught. Several people are injured during the arrests.
South-west of Shechem (Nablus): A fire bomb is thrown at an IDF post at Tel Aras
Safe to say that almost without exception, these calculated and premeditated attacks - every one of which has the potential to take or damage lives - go unreported outside the immediate area, making it difficult to understand Israel’s constant preparedness and vigilance.

before i fall asleep… two nights ago, my dear friend, i thought about you.
I thought about you for a long long time. It was unbearable. Never have i known how right it is. The scary thing is, I don’t know if this love for you is real but i also don’t know how you feel. I’ve only known you for 3 years, but you have taught me so much without even trying. Your presence makes me happy and the mention of your name makes me feel safe. I know that this summer I should not see you so often, but it’s so difficult, because i find you to be my best friend. Your personality and spirituality and strength is so appealing. YW, you seriously are amazing
DETOXING FROM EATING SO MUCH! NON STOP EATING IS WHAT YOM TOV IS!! IT’S CRAZY!
BUT CRAZYYY GOOD! :)
i hope everyone had a great shabbos and yuntif!
