ATTN Travel Brands: Sponsor ISRAEL Related Content

05/112011

As the founder of YeahThatsKosher.com, I have been contacted over the years by a number of websites and companies to review, try, and have sponsor my content. Some I have accepted, others not.

Now it is your turn. Over the next few weeks I’ll be traveling to Israel on a quest to create more travel related content about ISRAEL on YeahThatsKosher.com. I’ll be writing about restaurants, travel experiences, travel products, airlines, hotels, car rentals, transportation, activities / things to do, etc.

If your brand is interested in targeting Jews who love to travel (nearly 20,000 of them), then contact me to sponsor some of our upcoming content: YeahThatsKosher dot com at Gmail dot com.

Comedy Central blames ISRAEL with video game

05/172010

I just wrote a post on Jewlicious.com about the crazy, offensive, and disgusting video game created by Comedy Central called “I.S.R.A.E.L. Attacks!”.

Here’s what I wrote:

    The creative / media team behind “Drawn Together” from Comedy Central created a very very offensive game against Jews & Israel …. http://www.comedycentral.com/sitewide/game_player/index.jhtml?game=271497. I am trying to find a way that this is not offensive, but alas, I am at a loss.

    The JIDF blog did a piece on it yesterday.

    The game’s premise is as follows:

    “Jew Producer” apparently failed to destroy other child-like character. Thus, a robot, “the Intelligent Smart Robot Animation Eraser Lady” (I.S.R.A.E.L.) is sent to do the job. The game then shows “I.S.R.A.E.L.”, the robot, destroying everything in its path, even children.

    Join the Facebook group: Comedy Central – I.S.R.A.E.L. Attack game is offensive. Remove it.

Transition

03/102010

doublearrowI am preparing myself mentally for a new stage in my life. I have spent my career defending Israel as a part of my job, and I now have to move to the sidelines. It is difficult to move “to the sidelines”, but I feel that I have given my all to help grow my organization, and to assist Israel in the process. My career path has lead me to accept a great opportunity at a well respected digital marketing agency, for which I am set to begin after Pesach.

I am excited to eat, drink, and sleep social media (which I already do) and now get paid for it. I am thrilled to work with a new team of peers: social media and computer geeks … and with some big name clients. This is a unique time to be in my shoes. This time of transition is a new experience for me, and I am looking forward to the forthcoming challenges that await me in the near future.

I will miss my friends, colleagues, and students I have worked with over the years at StandWithUs. Please stay in touch.

Israel’s Humanitarian Aid Effort in Haiti

01/202010

baby-hospital_1561931iI have been keeping a close eye on the humanitarian situation in Haiti this past week. To my delight, tiny little Israel has sent over 220 humanitarian aid workers including doctors, medics, search & rescue teams, and others.

Well into the global rescue efforts, Israel was the only country with a working field hospital that was actually performing necessary surgeries on earthquake victims. This makes me proud to see Israel go above and beyond and drop everything to save human lives.
