Lifestyle, Motherhood, and Small Inspirations
One of my best childhood memories is being the official "matzo ball" maker with my Grandma Sara every Pesach and Rosh Hashanah. I got to mix them together, let them cool in the fridge for (a long) hour, and kept my hands moist while rolling them and dropping them right into the soup. They always …
“Ovadia’s Fast and Healthy Tahini Cookies” was published on his school’s website today. (Proud Ima 😉) We make these often, which take roughly 30 minutes or less (great when you have a baby in the house) and are a nice homemade afternoon snack. (*These can also be done exactly the same with Peanut Butter. I …
Hi there, near and far. All I can open this post with is...what strange times we are in! I think everyone believed back in April and May that by late summer things would start shaping up. My parents were supposed to fly in this week to be with us for the kid's August vacation. They wanted …

Hi dear friends and followers...happy almost Purim 🙂 It's going to be a short post today, but this has been a long time coming and I can't wait any longer on this post! I want to introduce you all to a new singer I came across recently, Anat Malamud, who has really opened up my …
It has been awhile since I have been able to write on Modest Jerusalem. I like to think that my breaks from posting are those times of reflection, exploring, taking in the world (aka regular daily life!) and waiting for the right time to let it all out and share. Sometimes it comes out in …
I was lucky enough in the late spring to get the chance to meet Chen Koren. For those of you who aren’t already following her colorful and vibrant Instagram with 31.9K followers, how can I describe her? You most likely will find her around Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda Shuk, where she does culinary tours and workshops. She is …
First, hi! I've missed you Modest Jerusalem. (I haven't posted since the summer, I know). I have pretty much accepted with love that I have months where I have plenty to create and give out into the world, and months where I need to re-center and focus on balance and receiving creativity. Now back to composting! …

I am really excited about this post. It might even be years in the making. I have been shopping in secondhand and vintage stores for at least 15 years, and my best wardrobe pieces and shoes are definitely high quality, secondhand picks from shops and markets from around the world, and here in Israel.
