binaries written in the C programming language. The Danish/Greenlandic

small set of Perl scripts used to maintain his personal homepage. The…

Some skills/knowledge to deal with conflict

In the beginning, do not take sides.
Do not allow yourself to become emotionally involved.
Assume from the beginning that all participants have legitimate positions.
Listen quietly no matter how unreasonable or violent the remarks.
Judging is not your task. The listener's role is not that of reformer. Avoid "I'm right, you're wrong."
All expression…

A story of brothers

An old Jewish legend tells of two brothers, Abram and Zimri, who owned a field and worked it together. They agreed to divide both the labor and the harvest equally. One night as the harvest came to a close, Zimri could not sleep, for it didn’t seem right that Abram, who had a wife and seven sons to feed, should receive only half of the harvest, while he, with only himself to support, had so much.

So Zimri dressed and quietly went into the field, where he took…

Might meeting at the Supermarket Open our Eyes??

In Gush Etzion there are some attempts to increase the consciousness of Israeli Jews living here that they have neighbors who are more than the "water drawers and woodcutters". (Here they are our "pumpers of gas and cement layers")

It is not an easy task, but thank G~d there are some of the younger generation here who believe that proper relationships between our people?People is more than providing employment or offering a cup of coffee to the construction worker.

But who… Continue

Israel and the world - "Israel's siege mentality"

The government’s macho attitude is actually making Israel weaker

THE lethal mishandling of Israel’s attack on a ship carrying humanitarian supplies that was trying to break the blockade of Gaza was bound to provoke outrage—and rightly so. The circumstances of the raid are murky and may well remain that way despite an inquiry (see article).

But the impression…
