Shalom Shalom! This is an online journal for friends and family of my return back to Israel, after many years of absence, to pursue graduate studies in Economics. I promise to keep politics out of this and just focus on the day to day tribulations of life in Israel. Enjoy, feel free to comment, and come visit me anytime!

Week Four

The rest of my 4th week has been fantastic. My friend Christine who worked with me at Gap was in town visiting, which was nice. We went to the Museum of Modern Art on Saturday, which is an amazing space in an of itself, but also had some very interesting exhibits going on. One really interesting one was the Barry Frydlender photo exhibit. He has a very intersting style of taking multiple photographs of the same location and layering them one on top of the other to create a sort of photo collage. Also, his photos are entirely about Israel, which was interesting.
Then there was the Richard Serra exhibit.

The other interesting thing about the Moma is that there were quite a number of artists names that I recognized. The reason I recognized them is because Doris Fisher, wife of Don Fisher, the founder of the GAP, has a number of their pieces in her massive private art collection, which she proudly shows off in the 3 huge private galleries in the Gap corporate offices.

Then Saturday night a number of us went out to Joe's Ginger in Chinatown. Me, Christine, Randy, Melanie, Sarina, Yaron. It was a great time, then we went to Russian Samovar to meet up with Coco and other friends. I believe the night ended somewhere around 3:20AM. The only thing that I regret is that I did not have my camera.

I think Diller is next on the list of visitors that will be in New York...
