Sometimes I feel like everything on the farm revolves around food, but really everything revolves around everything.
On the farm, where I’m in a semester-long Masa program called Eco Israel, a semester-long Masa program in Israel, study agriculture both in the classroom and hands-on in the field where I plant seeds that were saved from last season’s crop. Those seeds...

But even Amy Winehouse, who died in July from a drug and alcohol overdose, started off smoking marijuana as a teenager (www.tinyurl.com/AmyWinehouseBP). And Amy Winehouse, despite the life she lived as a celebrity, grew...

You see, crepes are also known as palyczinto in Hungarian, blinchik in Russian and blintzes in Yiddish. Fillings for crepes can be either savory or sweet. Russians like their blinchiki...

New kosher restaurants on Pico’s Kosher Row are just popping up. The latest is a popular Israeli restaurant adapted to America, called Burgers Bar. Granted the name of the restaurant is not perfect but then again what in life is? In my opinion, only Audrey Hepburn is sheer perfection – but that’s completely irrelevant to this review.
There are 50 Burgers Bars in...

If you are lucky enough to visit Jerusalem, let me suggest that you stay at the Mamilla Hotel. Straddling the neighborhood between the Old City and the bustling downtown center of Jerusalem, the Mamilla Hotel can only be described as luxurious hipster minimalism.
If you prefer the more dreadfully generic decor of, let’s say, a Sheraton, then the Mamilla isn’t for you....

As Shalhevet students, do we care about how we look? We all want to feel comfortable, but have we blurred the line between comfy-and-cute and lazy-and-baggy?
When it’s time to get dressed in the morning, it would seem that that most girls are choosing their outfit without much thought.
“I get dressed based on how much sleep I get the night before,” said senior Leona...

The leap from middle school to high school can be nerve-wracking. Relax. You have already survived eight years of first-day-of-school jitters. You can also take comfort in knowing that Shalhevet is a small school (we have one hallway) where we all can find a way to fit in.
Here are some insights that I picked up during my freshman year, which by the way was...

It’s 2011 and we are still talking about them. Two hundred thirty-four-plus years after the American Revolution, the royals of England still have us in awe, and it’s not because of their pretty dresses and fancy castles. The British Royal Family works hard at keeping relevant and that’s why they will have a gazillion people glued to their “tellies” at an ungodly...
