This week has been a little crazy in the Boykis household because I am having a hectic month at work, Mr. B is having a hectic time with car repairs, and we just genocided a bunch of ants.  It has been a crazy week in the world, as well. Kasparov and Karpov are meeting up again!  By the way, Kasparov is awsome. Virginia synagogue serves as mosque for Ramadan (I’d love to go see it) Markets in everything, including renting ...

The Jewish Holidays are upon us!  Someone bring out the festivus pole!  (also, comments have moooved to the bottom.) In honor of the holidays, I’ve conducted an interview with Israeli Chef (and my co-name sharer,) Vered Guttman, over at Jewlicious. Explaining Slavic female tennis comparative advantage Hadassah is gorgeous. Guess what? Russians still hate Jews! Yay! My friend, Tushara, is AWESOME. 30 mosques in 30 days Yemen: Still sucks. New wave of filmmakers in Bollywood Good luck trying to sleep ...

Today is September 11.  That’s crazy.  I can’t believe it’s been eight years since 9/11.   I remember when it first happened, I was in 10th grade and didn’t really process what was going on. I thought it was a joke.  I still haven’t. Russian aliyah (immigration to Israel) has rescued Israel, says Bibi, as he kisses major voter butt How to wear a ghotra. Not that I ever will, but I wish I could. Help write  a chick lit novel ...

I am in Israel! But the links are still here.  And they are sad. Hey, links, you should have booked your ticket on El Al, too. 1.  Russian Jews ponder the age-old question: America or Israel. Unfortunately a question too close to my heart.  (Thanks, Sarah!) 2.  Hillary Clinton’s relevant again.  Or something. 3.  Locks of love in Russia (real locks, not hair.) 4.  Jewish classics set to Latin beats.  This is so cool. 5.  Orchids: the whores of the ...

This week, I waxed nostalgic about Bangladesh, wrote my first negative book review for an author I admire a lot, and complained about HIAS.  Next week, I fear I will have even more heady material after an eight-hour trip to Michigan with the family.  Are you ready? Links! Discuss amongst yourselves. 1.  Photographs of Port of Halifax (beautiful. I’m a transportation nerd.) 2. And the same photographer with pictures of Turkey.  Just stunning. 3. Four days in North Korea.  Sobering. ...
