Jerusalem Scenes

Do you remember doing lots of puzzles when you were a kid?  I did!  So now it is your turn. 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.  SMS as I am still working teaching on line as I have been doing for the past 9 years, so staying and working from home is not new to me.   Oh, here's the number: 0587500608  I will put it outside of my apartment, so you can just take it.  Located in Givat Shaul, Jerusalem  Rachael Alice 

I hope that you have been enjoying this blog, but now we are going to change the focus a bit and feature businesses in Jerusalem, and other places that you can find great deals.  I do not get paid by the stores to shop there so this is my honest opinion about each place.  Today I went to Tamnoon,  Here is the bag as I got home. I bought three things, a black jersey shirt, a gray shiny skirt and 3 pairs of socks all for   Drum roll Please!!!!!   30 NIS!     Even Ramona can't  believe the prices!  This is at the store on Kanfei Nesharim in Givat Shaul!  The shirt runs big so I got a size 1, and the skirt runs small so I got the small.  Usually I fit the Medium or Large sizes in this store.     75 or   So, Run, Walk, Take the 75 or 74 Egged bus from the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem and gobble up these Spring Fashions at rock bottom prices.   For more summer fun, make a tiny house!  Tiny House Fun

 This is a very famous picture,  It is even published in the Leo Beck Siddur for children!  It was taken using a Nokia (non-smartphone, those were the days!) Today is my birthday and so this is my present to you, to enjoy this beautiful Rainbow!  Taken out my living room window overlooking Ramot and the valley below.  Featured in this video: 

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.   Sooner or later it will be torn down, and a new modern building with trendy shops will take its place.   Maybe we should remember the past?  Naww, it doesn't pay any property tax, Down it will come.  2020 in Jerusalem.  Rachael Alice Orbach

  Now that we are in the depths of winter, I look back and remember the flowers of Spring, and know that it is just around the corner again. Keep Spring in your heart and you will always be happy.  Rachael Alice Orbach   

I walked in Nachlat Shiva a few weeks ago and there are the umbrellas waiting to catch the rain. Or if it starts to rain, you can try to jump up and catch one for yourself!  Enjoy listening to a song that I wrote and produced using the rain on my roof as a background. (It is supposed to rain today so I want to get into the mood!)
