Hairless Cat

One friend had one in Kfar Saba. Entertaining as it climbed cupboards and jumped from the top of one cabinet to the other.

Russian Blue Cat

This cat, originally from the Amur region, is not really blue but grey. But soon someone will find a blue gene and this cat will come in shining metallic blue. There is a lot of money to be made in genetics. 

Is Los Angeles safe for Jews?

 

There was a large pro-Palestinian demonstration on Wilshire Avenue in Los Angeles, blocking the entrance to the synagogue on Pico Boulevard, where an event on real estate investment in Israel was being held. 

This Hamas war is hurting us.

Wasting time

 
The problem of being retired and working is that there is no one to urge me to finish the project. So I waste my irreplaceable time watching serval cats. 

The Linx Cat

 

It's the European wild cat, feeding on rabbits and small deer. It is almost extinct but several lynx resettlement projects begun in the 1970s have been successful in various regions of Switzerland. Since the 1990s, there have been numerous efforts to resettle the Eurasian lynx in Germany, and since 2000, a small population can now be found in the Harz mountains near Bad Lauterberg

The lynx is also found in the Białowieża Forest in northeastern Poland, which is one of the last and the largest remaining part of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain. The forest is home to more than 800 European bison.

The Quartet


The Carmel Quartet led by Prof. Yoel Grinberg, gave a concert in Raanana. He explained what Benjamin Britten, Robert Schumann, Alexander Borodin, Oded Zahavi, and the other composers tried to say, so I could follow the intended moods and expressions. We came with a couple who sat in the first row because she is hard of hearing, on the first opportunity I moved to the back. Sitting in the middle of four energetic performers is excessive for me. European high culture - what can I say? I prefer an extra hour of sleep. As a child, the Hungarian state identified me as a potential music talent, but by the grace of God, I escaped from the Music School.
