Guess what!  You can now purchase a brand new papercut that’s hot off the cutting board!  And it’s just in time for Channuka.  I revived a design from my years before aliya, and I remade it to reflect what I feel strongly, especially here in Israel.  More meaningful than ever, this papercut design and its […]

Last week in Israel, life was a bit intense.  We were in the midst of a military operation against those who were constantly firing rockets into our cities and towns.  We were on the brink of an all out war.  My son was one of the many soldiers training to go in to Gaza in […]

Being a Judaic papercutting artist I have to have a good eye.  I need to see things that others don’t easily see and work with tiny details up-close.  Imagine my frustration when suddenly I had to remove my eyeglasses in order to design, cut, and READ!!  Was I really that old?  The answer of course […]

After returning tonight from my son’s basketball game, I was reflecting on how important exercise is for every age.  It doesn’t matter what you do.  According to the posters on the wall at Curves (I try to go almost every day), if you move your body for a straight period of 30 minutes 3 or […]
