The Rage Less Traveled: PTSD and rainbows

June 12, 2019

This is not so much a review of the book “The Rage Less Traveled: A Memoir of Surviving a Machete Attack,” it’s more a summary of my experience reading it and why I believe this is a must read for everyone, including those not specifically interested in Israel.  Choosing to read the book I didn’t … More The Rage Less Traveled: PTSD and rainbows

Scorpion by Nature: PTSD and other labels

December 3, 2018

What do a tattoo artist, an IDF wounded warrior, and a scorpion have in common? Brilliant blue eyes and smile lines etched in his face could not diminish the horror of the event he was describing.

Wishing you a safe and happy New Year!

September 25, 2014

It is now Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are called the High Holy Days. They are more holy days, than holidays, a time for introspection more than a time of celebration. The Jewish tradition says that every year God reviews the lives of all of humanity and decides what … More Wishing you a safe and happy New Year!

May this be the hour of mercy…

August 28, 2014
