This blog will chronicle the adventures of me, David Weinfeld, as an Otzma fellow in Israel, from August 21st, 2005 to May 29th, 2006. I hope this is as exciting for you as it is for me (though that would be a tad bizarre, now wouldn't it?).
The Christmas lights are out in full force on Ben Gurion street. So are the Santas and Snowmen and everything that makes Christmas a wonderfully secular holiday in America. Many of the restaurants are owned by Arab Christians. Still, to me it's a bit surprising that Christmas has been so commercialized and secularized outside of North America.

I'm a nice Jewish boy. Just look at the picture. Want to know more? I'm originally from Montreal, Canada. I got my BA in history at Harvard. I spent some time volunteering in Israel, then working at home. Now, I'm doing my PhD in History and Hebrew and Judaic Studies at NYU.
