What better way to spend the time indoors than to do a puzzle. Here is one that is finished, but as you can see a few pieces at the corner got lost. This makes it even more challenging! I am giving this away for free, also I don't have the box, but I will put it in a box for you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I walk past this building many times a month, so I snapped this picture the last time. This area has been slate for Urban Renewal for about 10 years, but this building is still standing. I think that it was an apartment building, it just stands empty now. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sooner or later it will be torn down, and a new modern building with trendy shops will take its place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybe we should remember the past? </span><br />

I have been reading the biography of Benjamin Franklin, and I thought it would be a good idea to have a Community English library.<br />
<br />
Each person would list 10-15 books that he or she would be willing to lend out. <br />
Every person in the library lists their books.<br />
When someone wants to borrow a book, then they would contact the person, go there and borrow the book. Then return it to where it came from. People can put books in any language on their list. Mark your books with your name and contact details.<br />
<br />
Put your list on the comments section of this post.<br />
If this ends up to be a big concern, then I will open a website and each person can get a page to list their books.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
What do you think? I think it is a great idea and a better alternative to buying books and trying to sell them back. <br />
<br />
If people want, they can also use this system for school books.<br />
<br />
Good luck and have fun reading books!<br />

I don't usually post pictures of churches on this blog, but I have seen this from afar many times. When you are driving to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, this view keeps popping up so you might get distracted by the view. You might wonder about the golden dome church and why it is up there? <br />
<br />
Well this link: <a href="http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/RussianEinKerem.html" target="_blank">http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/RussianEinKerem.html</a> Will tell you all about it.<br />
If you want to go to visit, remember that visitors are not allowed inside the church, but the view and the exterior might be enough to justify the trip.<br />
<br />
Since you have to go into the Hadassah Hosiptal complex, you will have to pay the parking fee for the hospital, so don't be surprised. <br />
<br />
Have a good trip!<br />

Take a walk in the afternoon in Jerusalem, this scene reminds me of a place in other Mediterranean countries. In the fall, there will be grapes on the branches, You can pick one to eat while you walk. <br />
I welcome you to Jerusalem!<br />

On the way through Jerusalem, I happened to look up and I just had to take this picture! The Moon lights up the night, in consolation for making itself smaller, on the 4th day of Creation.<br />
<br />
Look up at the Moon once in a while so you don't miss the beauty of Nature!<br />

If you look carefully at this picture, I have made it extra large,. . . you can see an interesting flat top mountain. This is the archaeological site of Herodian. Now we know that it was the burial place of King Herod, and he built this mountain. I was there a long time ago before they did the digging. A had a friend who had a cousin who had the keys to the site and we went inside the tunnels underneath . There we found some remains of the Bar Kochva revolt, no we didn't move anything, really. And then we went up into the mountain, saw the wonderful rooms that Herod built. <br />
<br />
Two years ago, there was an exhibit at the Israel Museum showing everything that my friend and I saw 20 years ago! I said to my family, yup, this is what it looks like, when they showed the videos of the place before the digging began. <br />
<br />
So today, when I was dropping my son off at Yeshiva, I was driving along and this view popped up. I dropped him off and then on the way back, I stopped the car and popped this picture. I think that on a day right after it rains it might be clearer. I'll try. <br />
<br />
So, a nice way to start the day,<br />

I woke up to this beautiful site. Underneath there is a highway. We thought that the building of the highway would disrupt the <b> phenomenon, </b>but as you can see, we can still enjoy beautiful views!<br />

I was taking a walk in Jerusalem, and to show that we are a real city and real people live here, I found this interesting door. You can see the rust, the marks of the keys, The mail that has not come today. <br />
You can tell a lot about a person by their door. Yes? <br />

The day after Lag B'Omer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Seriously folks, be careful with your combustables on a hot day like today. Just came home and saw this out my window. Called it in to 102 the Fire Department, they took a long time to answer the phone by the way, and they said that they already knew about it.<br />
<br />

<span id="goog_162596637"></span><span id="goog_162596638"></span>This is what the fire looked like at 12;00pm. Now it is 5:41pm and it is still out of control! I heard planes and helicopters flying over trying to get a handle on it. If they would sent only one plane when I had called it in there wouldn't be this problem<br />

<br />
One of the fires is being blamed on Lag B'Omer, maybe it is true, but there needs to be more fire education here in Israel. <br />
<br />
When I was a child in Los Angeles, we had to have fire drills a few times a year, and a Fire Marshal came to our classes and taught us what to do when there is a fire. I was elected Fire Marshal of my 4th grade class and I was expert at stomping on lit cigarettes.<br />
<br />
This served me well when I was teaching my first year in the classroom, as during a test someone slipped a smoke bomb under the door. causing untold uproar in the class. I stepped on it.. Why did they schedule a test for April 1st, anyway??<br />
<br />
Fires are serious, many people have been evaucated from their homes this afternoon. Learn the fire rules and before you leave a fire, put it out with sand or water! <br />
