SJP’s Mission Let’s delve into Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) – what exactly is their mission? Per their national website, SJP’s #1 unity goal is “ending Israel’s occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall”. In laments terms, SJP wants Israel removed/to diseapear/be destroyed (you can chose which one sounds the nicest). SJP also states it “stands against … antisemitism…”. So if you’re a Jew outside of Israel, you’re cool. If not, they want you gone. As in removed, to disappear, be destroyed (again, you can chose which one sounds the nicest). SJP’s Founde ..read more

As big tech (Sheryl Sandberg for Facebook and Jack Dorsey for Twitter) heads to Capital Hill (AGAIN) Wednesday to assure Congress (AGAIN) they’re doing everything to make social media a safe domain and deny any type of censorship, I can’t help but laugh. I don’t want to get into the fact that every time I mention the President’s name in any type of context on my Facebook page, I’m immediately banned for at least 24 hours. I do my best to keep my social media platforms as bi-partisan as possible so I decided the easiest thing to do was not mention Trump anymore, despite the various good he was ..read more

Having grown up in a Russian household, science and math were ALWAYS stressed as top priority subjects. I was often the sole girl in classes such as Honors Algebra and AP Chemistry so it was no surprise to my teachers and family I went on to receive a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience and an MBA in Finance. The only difference between now and 30 years ago are the amazing STEM toys that are available for children to play AND simultaneously learn from. So what exactly is STEM? It’s an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math; below I’ve summarized each category’s main objectiv ..read more

If you follow me on social media, my love for heels is pretty apparent. What I’m NOT a fan of is the retail industry pushing heels for little girls. My soon to be third grader came home from a shopping day with her grandmother and excitedly started showing me her new things. When she opened one of the shoe boxes and showed me a pair of tan booties with a 2″ chunky heel, my heart sank. Why in the world would an 8 year old little girl want, or NEED, a pair of heels? “Do you like them Mama?” she happily asked me. I answered her that they’re gorgeous but meant for adult women, not little girls. He ..read more

What’s better than celebrating the State of Israel turning 70? Celebrating the State of Israel turning 70 AND humiliating the BDS Campaign, the global movement to delegitimize Israel, at the same time! Thanks to the founder of Pride of Israel, Alexander Rubinchik, that’s exactly what happened. Rubinchik, a Soviet born Israeli Jew with an MBA from Brandeis University, had a vision to combine the beauty of timeless luxury watch pieces with Israeli patriotism. And who would be the perfect partner for his amazing vision? None other than the world’s most renown and luxurious watch maker, Hublot. Kn ..read more

Scrolling through Instagram or Facebook, it appears as if every blogger, model, and Jane Doe is frolicking on the beaches of Capri or making friends with the white walls of Greek real estate. In reality, the majority of us are working at our desks, chasing kids around trying to keep them entertained, and road tripping to the nearest local pool. That being said, the “vacation-ready pieces” that the retail world is relentlessly endorsing are probably starting to feel a bit tedious, so I wanted to provide a little relief via summer-dressing inspiration that’s perfect for when it’s hot outside and ..read more

I was in a sleep deprived haze, similar to all mothers who bring their newborns home, when I received the call from my daughter’s pediatrician’s office stating something popped up on her newborn screening test and a genetic’s counselor would be following up with me within the next few days. I hung up the phone puzzled as to what could possibly be wrong with my little bundle of pink perfection. Fifteen minutes later when my phone rang, it was explained to me that one of my daughter’s newborn-screening markers, specifically, her long chain fat markers (C16-C20’s), were slightly off. I was assure ..read more

It’s June, which means Father’s Day is around the corner. And we all know men can be notoriously difficult to shop for so it’s easy to feel clueless as to what they’d actually be excited to get. A lot of guys tend to keep quiet about what they want, and when they do want a shiny new toy, they go ahead and buy it. So if you’re tired of giving ties or gift cards, check out the alternatives below! I cover a wide variety of interests from the drone junkie who loves to spy on neighbors, the Tiger Woods wannabe, to the Tech obsessed ..read more
