I love the Merkava IV, Israel’s main battle tank.
The shape, the versatility, the power!
Complete fighting awesomeness.
The new “Merkava IV Barak” (scheduled for deployment in 2021) will even have artificial intelligence (AI) for advanced battle management systems.
I wish we had the Merkava during the Holocaust and could’ve given the Nazi bastards what they rightfully deserved.
Never again! 😉

I got my tickets for this today.
Can’t wait to see it!
Rambo says:
“You started this; I’ll end it!”
Justice, justice shalt thou pursue. 😉
So these are my favorite chocolate pastries.
They are liked over-sized or really supersized Rugelach.
When these come out of the oven, the soft, hot pastry dough interspersed with overflowing, dripping layers of chocolate are unbelievable!
This mound of chocolate pastries is from Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem.
OMG, I can’t wait to visit again and have one (or more) of these–totally lose all self control! LOL 😉

Best Chicken Lo Mein (Kosher too!) that I ever had.
At China Bistro and Sushi in Hollywood, Florida.
Order the extra chicken for a couple of bucks.
Well worth it!
Steaming hot from the wok.
And don’t forget to make it extra spicy! 😉

Short and sweet…
I l-o-v-e this incredible tank.
The Merkava IV!
It blows all the others away. 😉
So my daughter went out for dinner in Israel and she sends me this photo of an amazing cup of tea.
– Cinnamon
– Lemon
– Ginger
– Mint
What’s so great is you can actually see the cinnamon stick, mint leaves, and lemon and ginger slices.
It’s completely fresh and healthy, and not just from a tea bag or minced up tea in a tin.
To me, this looks absolutely appetizing and delicious!
Usually, I’m a Snapple Iced Tea type of a guy, but for sure, I’d go for some this fresh tea from Israel…L’Chaim! 😉

Just wanted to share this photo of this great bag that I saw on the street in Downtown, DC.
While it wasn’t the largest or most functional…
I really liked the design, colors, and all the pockets.
A little military looking, contrasted by the rips, peace sign, and swirl made it even cooler.
For some reason, I don’t think you can get away with wearing it to the office though. 😉

I took this photo of one of the amazing wine bottles at an event last evening at Magen David Synagogue.
Apparently, a very talented lady in there makes these special bottles.
Unfortunately with the lighting, this picture does not near do them justice for how exquisite they looked.
They were in different colors of lacing, with beautiful beads, hamsas, and other decorations, as well as pictures of our honored sages, and their names in hebrew over the photos.
I asked facetiously one lady who was taking home a bottle whether she was going to drink it all that evening, and she pulled the bottle close to her and leaning in to me said, “This is going in my display case!”
And that truly is where these belong…they are amazing.
The wonderful lady that painstakingly makes these gave how many of them charitably so they could be auctioned for benefit of the synagogue.
Aside from a wonderful soul, this person is very talented and should seriously start a business with these because they are awesome! 😉

These are some very cool shoes–different!
My daughter found these on Youtube
They are made by this unboring shoe company in the U.K. called Irregular Choice.
Walking on the back of a dragon cannot be a bad thing.
Stepping alternatively on the bride and groom–maybe an interesting perspective on the ins and outs of marriage.
They also have a neat pair of Panda shoes.
Check these out, I think you’ll look cool and really like it. 😉
The world’s most beautiful elevator has got to be the AquaDom in the Radisson Blu Hotel in Berlin.
It contains a cylindrical elevator inside a 1 million liter fish tank filled with 1,500 fish of 50 species.
If you can’t get to the ocean, then bring the ocean to you–spectacular! 😉
