Aunt Ruth’s Love Has NO Boundaries!

How do you stay determined in the face of so much loss?
I accept that life isn’t easy.  I have my faith…but I have a will to live, and that will comes from loving people. 


If you have followed this blog, you know that Aunt Ruth’s answer to my question changed how I viewed my life.  Loving people was Aunt Ruth’s anchor and her fuel.  Love energized her, gave her purpose, and got her into the kitchen to test recipes she’d share with family and friends.  Love was behind the wheel for her perpetual visits to the cemetery to manicure our family’s graves.  Love got her out of bed to answer the phone to offer support and unconditional love.

Love was behind every single thing Aunt Ruth thought about doing or did.  She inspired YOU too!

The ♥'s on the map are from EVERY place this blog has had a “hit” since it has been launched.  Love has NO BOUNDARIES.  Thank you for loving Aunt Ruth!  More exciting news:

One Israeli creation for the weekend

Halahaka (“The Troupe”) is a 1978 musical film by Avi Nesher, starring Gidi Gov, Liron Nirgad, Sassi Keshet, Gali Atari, Dafna Armoni and more. This must see Israeli film tells the story of an IDF singing group in the late 60's. It was the time when soldiers/singers were the biggest musical hits, and becoming one was the dream of every highschool student.


Halahaka introduces the viewer to the inner world of such a group, and provides a sneak peek to the relationships, the pressure and the drama. The members of the group deal with personal matters as such, while traveling from one military base to another to entertain the soldiers . But more than a fun “dramedy,” Halahaka is a window to the harsh reality into Israeli during the late 60's and the early 70's, when, in between wars, people tried to run a normal life.
