Our Canadian Ginger is all about Lag Baomer… if only she knew what it’s about
By The Canadian Ginger (AKA D’vora Charness)
So tonight is Lag Baomer, and while I am not exactly sure what the holiday is actually about, the way it is celebrated is kinda cool! Throughout the entire week kids all over the country have been collecting wood. So all you see are kids of all ages wondering the streets of Israel with shopping carts (yes shopping carts!) FULL of wood and logs anything else they can set on fire. Tonight the streets, beaches and fields of Israel will be full of bonfires and its the only night of the year where parents allow their children to stay out to ridiculously late hours of the night in order to hang out with their friends.
So naturally I’ll be going to a party (already started drinking my wine!). And of course IDC is turning their parking lot into a party, bringing on DJs and making a huge bonfire! The start of the day was fun on campus as well. There was the organic festival which came to campus. Selling organic food, clothing, beer and of course wine….you can only guess which booth I went to :p

The ‘Canadian Ginger’ rants… Misses ‘Sundays’
by Canadian Ginger (AKA D’Vora Charness)
ISRAEL NEEDS SUNDAYS! I love my life here, don’t get me wrong, but there isn’t enough ‘down time’ in this country. I am a very active person and I like to get involved in many things at the same time. I have always been like that. Always active on campus and within the community, but at least in Montreal I had a real weekend to sit back and relax with friends and NAP! Oh how I miss napping!
This year I am graduating from the IDC in Communications, working part time as an English tutor (because let’s face it, I need money!), working as a Research Assistant for my professor, I was accepted to two Fellowship programs (Stand With us Fellowships and Link Israel Fellowships) which takes up a lot of time between meetings and projects and trips, and of course writing for SDM! I love everything that I do, and I cannot imagine dropping anything from my list. BUT A GIRL NEEDS A BREAK! And let’s face it, the weekends here aren’t really a break because they start Thursday night, which here is considered like Saturday night. So it’s party night! Meaning I am out until 5 in the morning, after having been in school and work all day, sleep in Friday if I can, and hopefully don’t wake up hung over. Cook and clean for Shabbat. Everything here closes early, so buses stop running and malls and shops close a couple of hours before the Sabbath comes in, meaning everything is always rushed! Dinner with friends is then at 7 and goes on until all kinds of crazy hours of the morning! Saturdays are meant for getting schoolwork done or lying on the beach. Half the time we will go out Saturday nights, the other half is spent just hanging around until 3am. Go to sleep, and then wake up early Sunday to start my hectic week of meetings, projects, work, hanging out, presentations and if I can manage to fit it in, shopping, all over again! I am in desperate need of a Sunday here! One day off just isn’t enough!

Spring is coming and it’s time to store yours coats, wear your shorts and get wild in one of Tel-Aviv’s top 5 parties!
Arisa- If you’re planning on visiting Tel-Aviv soon, make sure that ARISA party is going on.
The first oriental gay party takes place once a month, generally at the Comfort 13 club, attracts gays from all-over the country and hosts a different oriental artist each party. Lately, they have started combining a colorful ceremony taken from the Israeli’s wedding culture- The Henna- which makes this night totally unforgettable.
FFF – Shirazi’s eternal line usually happens every second Friday at Haoman 17, and plays house music till the sun rises. The FFF is being named as Tel-Aviv’s best gay party almost every year – with magnificent decoration, breath-taking performances and muscular guys and it just keeps getting better. No wonder it owns the throne.
Dreck- Great electro-pop music and gorgeous guys are the reason why Tel-Aviv’s weekend starts on Wednesday night. The party-line became the city-talk almost overnight hosting different DJ’s who makes the dance floor moves.
Forever Tel-Aviv – 6 years had passed since “Forever Tel-Aviv”’s first party, and its still considered as one of Tel-Aviv’s finest parties. “Forever Tel-Aviv” hosts the well-known Israeli DJ, DJ Offer Nissim, who produces house music in mostly tribal, hard and progressive styles, and who had remixed a large repertoire of artists. These parties’ productions are always shiny; combining local artists and talents and makes the night larger than life.
PAG – This electro-house music party line started his way 8 years ago, and moved between 5 different clubs, till today, when it’s finally located at the ZIZI club. The party line usually happens every second Friday. The party owners always put all their efforts to turn every party to a night-to-remember; Different DJ’s from all over the world , spectacular and unique production in each party, and sleazy-underground feeling that words definitely cannot tell makes the PAG a must try, even if you’re straight.
