Until September 2007, when my oldest daughter was born, this blog covered daily life and politics in Israel, as well as Hebrew-English linguistic issues, from the perspective of an American-raised journalist and translator living in Israel.

Why do the gan contact list and the gan weekly newsletter both have to be called a 'daf kesher' (literally 'contact' [or 'connection'] page)? Could they not come up with a different word/phrase? Then again, maybe other ganim do have different words and just Rimonit's gan doesn't? Why can't Hebrew just have more words???

The 90th minute ('hadaka hatishim' in Hebrew) is the soccer-derived equivalent of the 11th hour - the moment of time I seem to perpetually inhabit.
The 90th minute was a finalist in the 2007 Jewish & Israeli Blog Awards, in the Best New Blog and Best Personal Blog categories.
