I'm sure you're wondering how we're faring, Pesach-wise. Here are some important updates:
1. Yaakov was walking around the apartment with a bag of cereal. I promptly told him not to.
2. Our cleaning lady - bless her soul and her way with a sponga - tried to put away my Pesach food, which was resting comfortably in the guest room. Naturally, wondering why these seemingly normal people (we do seem normal, right?) were hoarding foodstuffs in their bedroom, she attempted to put the coffee in the pantry (gasp!), the ketchup in the fridge, (double gasp!) and the bags of matza meal on the counter (*faint*). I swept the food up as fast as I could - does the 5 second rule count for Pesach food in the chametz kitchen? - and hurled it back to its staging area. Crisis averted. (Just don't tell any rabbis about this. Especially not my newly-minted rabbi brother, coronated just this past Sunday at the Chag HaSemicha.)
3. I called Lisa and told her that next week, I would - deep breath - be ready to "discuss seder."
4. The kiddies are shteiging away, learning about Pesach ("Megillat Pesach" as Yaakov calls it) in school/gan. Ariella comes home daily with a new picture for our wall; Yaakov has not done any projects in gan. Not that there isn't Pesach work being done in gan. It's just not being done by Yaakov. When I walked into gan and saw that every other child had completed a Pesach drawing - except for my son - I asked him, "Just what, exactly, were you doing when all the other children in gan were doing this project?" He cheerfully replied, "I was doing shtuyot and hitting people." Sigh.
5. Um....that's it. Not bad, right?

So what you mean is that Yaakov was practicing for the Pesach play in which he plays an evil Egyptian taskmaster. go Yaakov! how creative!
i have done 2 things that need to be done b4 pesach that do not require actual cleaning
1 got myself a haircut
2 bought sandals for 4 kids! this will also save us time in the morning - no need for socks! and of course this should bring the rain season back so i am doing good for the country.
good luck!
at least you can somehow communicate with your cleaning person...mine chooses not to understand English when it doesn't suit her...this week I got smart...I typed all my Pesach instructions to her in English then went on bing translator...and translated them into Spanish...wonder how they translated freezer, because that wasn't cleaned!!
Hello,
I was doing some research online and came across your website. I hope you don't mind me reaching out to you. I'm a casting assistant in New York for a popular show about people relocating outside North America. It's called House Hunters International and airs on the Home & Garden cable network (HGTV). We are casting people for this show right now in Jerusalem and I was wondering if you or anyone you know would be interested in participating.
Our show consists of a family or couple who has relocated in the past few years and the property they have purchased. The purpose of the show is to demystify the process of moving and living abroad. You can learn more about our show and watch episodes here: http://www.hgtv.com/house-hunters-international/show/index.html.
Putting together an episode with you would be a real treat for our audience and it's a lot of fun for you too. Contributors to the show get a nice keepsake shot in HD video and also receive compensation for your time and efforts.
If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more, please contact me at househunterscasting@leopardfilms.com. Thank you in advance for your prompt feedback on this. Have a wonderful day!
