Mizpe Ramon: above and beyond

When you hear the name Mizpe Ramon what springs to your mind? A short stop on the way to Eilat?
The Ramon crater? The ibex? Have you even heard about this place?
Maybe the name is familiar to you because of some army bases situated in the vicinity
or maybe you are a nature lover and once went to enjoy the desert sky in the summer
night of Mizpe Ramon.

Anyway I am here to tell about my Mizpe Ramon experience and recommend some places.

Mizpe Ramon is a small town in the South of Israel, populated by about 5000 residents.

It attracts a lot of tourists thanks  to the magnificent scenery of Makhtesh Ramon.

The town itself is located just above the crater and you can walk between two most distant places
in it within half an hour at most.

In this quite a tiny place I spent 8 months as a student in the Modern dance and movement
program in the former Hanger (warehouse) Adama - a place which had been home for a well known
Adama dance group and dance school for 17 years before it moved to Sderot.

Now the place is called Meever - "beyond" in Hebrew and it houses dance and theater studios,
a backpackers' hostel, volunteer center, festivals and parties.
It's a "hippie" style place with a big lounge area
where you can just sit and chill out with a book and meet travelers from Europe or young Israelis.
Besides you can come to one of the many festivals or workshops that take place there.

I strongly advise taking a walk in the whole industrial area of Mizpe Ramon - you can find there cute
art galleries, ceramics and carpentry workshops, even a boutique bakery and a nice restaurant,
jazz club with a wide range of concerts and a local pub.

So next time you are on your way to Eilat - remember, there is a n alternative to the 90 road,
you can take road 40 via Mizpe Ramon and have an unforgettable experience.

What do you imagine when you hear the word “Russia”?
What images does it conjure up? Huge? Faraway? Cold? Communism?
Dostoyevsky? Vodka? Ballet? Matryoshka? A somewhat odd combination
of disparate features.  

The truth is that Russia is indeed a huge country that stretches over a vast
expanse of eastern Europe and northern Asia, with its tremendous capital,
Moscow built to be a major business center, the core of Russian History.

Ramadan

My favorite month of the year is finally here, the holiest month in the year, Ramadan is a month that may seem a bit hard - fasting between dawn until dusk, not being allowed to eat or drink even though it is too hot outside

stationery and utensils

Let's be realistic, if trying to build a career, being a mother of two and a wife is hard already, then try to add to these being a student.

To put it in another way, it's hard to be a woman , and it's harder to be a successful woman because you need to know priorities, you can't take your responsibilities lightly and above all you will feel like all the odds are against you.

The film "Goodbye Christopher Robin" (2017):

I would like to recommend the film Goodbye Christopher Robin.

Christopher Robin, as we all know, is the child from the children’s book Winnie the Pooh which has been lately voted as the most beloved children’s book of all time.

The Alchemist

The book is about the challenges of leaving the comfortable and known places and moving around looking for your real mission in life and getting to self-fulfillment. The plot follows a teenage boy, Santiago who pursues his dreams and travels around and meets many people and places, learns from every place or person something that affects his development and progress in life.

Animated "The Lion King" movie

The Lion King

In case you have to learn about child development, you could watch and learn a lot from an animated movie. I have a course in the college that talks about the development in the child’s life, and there we had to watch a movie “The Lion King” and just analyze how Simba grew and what exactly happened after his father got killed (died) Mofasa.

For those who don’t know the movie, I really don’t want to ruin it for you, but it’s about a cub that is the son of the king of the Pride Lands (Royal Family).

As future teachers and mothers we need to know all these things about children. We will be in class and we will see students doing things and acting in a way that sometimes we can’t explain. In case you haven’t seen the movie, I really recommend you do.

I can tell you that I personally love Disney movies but this one was my favourite since I was a kid. Although I watched it many times I couldn’t see what it actually means until I had to answer several questions about the movie.

Let’'s not forget all the music that they have in the movie (the soundtrack), now they are all trendings on YouTube since there will be a new version of the movie that is not animated coming out in July.

I hope you’ll enjoy the movie and learn from it.

Africa

Welcome to Africa! The first time that I ever visit Africa and definitely not the last! One of the most beautiful countries that I've been to is for sure Kenya. I feel so lucky that I got to travel to Mombasa and to volunteer in a  special education school to help children who are in need.

Different Is What Makes You Special

When I was four years old, growing up in a family where both parents work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I traveled abroad. My parents had to go on a mission for the Israeli Embassy in Burma for two years and from there we moved to Peru for another two years. I studied in American Schools that were mainly for International kids who were from all over the world. Finally after four years we came back to Israel, and I entered the 3rd grade Hebrew speaking classroom. But as time passed by growing up in Israel, when I reached the age of thirteen my parents got a new assignment, this time we were to move to Peru for four years, meaning my whole High School years.

Eat, Pray, Love

                                         Eat, Pray, Love

   I chose to write a book review about one of my favorite books, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. This book is about a very difficult time in the author’s life when she decided that she had to leave her life behind and go experience things that would make her happy. So she decides to travel to Italy in order to experience delicious food, to India to learn how to meditate and to get in touch with spirituality, and then to Bali to experience love.

How I fell in love with “Rent the Runway”

Does it ever happen to you that a simple product or service touches you in a way that is much deeper than you’d expected? It rarely happens to me, but when it does, it is a wonderful experience. In the winter of 2016 I was traveling to the US for a wedding. Dress code: black tie. Typical Israeli reaction: @!$#%!!!

My Favorite Season is Spring

The cold season ends and the warm season appears .Day times  become warmer and the colorful flowers appear . It’s the season that wakes up everything  in nature . It’s my favorite one “ spring “ .

In spring , the days aren't  too hot neither too cold .People prefer this season because   they usually wear light clothes which allow them to move easily .Trees blossom, flowers are brightly colored in order to attract butterflies -  this attracts me too! Roses bloom in a beautiful sight .All these views encourage you to go out and enjoy picnics and outings with your family.

 Beside the spring fun , I enjoy eating fresh fruit and vegetables such as almonds , plums , peaches , strawberries  and blueberries - no need to buy canned and frozen food. The coming of spring allows us to spend more time outdoors , enjoy the sunshine and breathe fresh,clean air. If you an active person, you will also enjoy exercising outdoors .

  Despite all these advantages sometimes this season brings with it health problems. People with allergies can  get such symptoms as runny nose or sneezing even though some of them get skin sensitivity with spring . These people  should be extremely cautious with their health . For them, Spring is the most dangerous season of the year .

This season brings fun for some and problems for others, also  the fresh fragrance of spring air makes us happy and carefree   So enjoy it but take care .
