Tali was born in Jerusalem, though her parents come from Ethiopia. She grew up in a religious home, so it comes natural for her to dress modestly and she really loves to. She told me that you don't always find exactly the kind of clothes you are looking for, but when you find that special …

Have you heard of Ganei Agnon, the brand new (private) gan in Jerusalem that recently opened for the 2018-2019 school year on Shai Agnon Street in Katamon? Although I live close by and happen to pass the new, colorful facility on the way to Natan's maon everyday, I was hesitant to pop inside until I …
Nothing is better then getting a recommendation from a trusted friend, especially in the realm of arts and culture. I want to share with you a writer, a musician, an artist and a fashion designer I have been following over the last few months. By no means I only follow Israelis. Parallel to these choices …
