This blog will serve as an outlet for my excitement, frustrations, and love of the land of Israel. It will cover a broad range of topics: the Arab-Israeli conflict, the mood of Israeli religious Zionists, the role of women in Israel, and developments in the academic yeshivah world. I plan to range from the obvious to the obscure, and blog about Israel in whatever direction my interests and current events pull me.
My slant will be that of a Zionist feminist American woman whose political views tend to the left compared to her placing on the religious scale. I write as one who lived there for a year, has family and friends there, and plans to spend the rest of my life there. As invested as I am, I am a Canadian and American citizen and love both my countries. Therefore, my perspective has a Diasporic approach to it. I am seven hours off and half a million miles away from that which lies closest to my heart. An interesting dialectic often ensues. Enjoy.
