Welcome to Dice With the Universe!

Generally, I am going to put some thoughts from my life here. They will usually have to do with my translation work or with my writing. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks.

The title of the blog, for those interested, is a part of a paraphrase of Albert Einstein's words -- "God doesn't play dice with the universe." The words originally meant Einstein's scepticism about Quantum Physics (that gives a statistical chance of an event occurring), but I use this phrase as a general guideline to life. Things don't happen randomly. If we want to succeed we need to make it happen ourselves.

Welcome again. Enjoy your stay.

Attack of the Giant Spiders -- movie at seven

We've been to a Purim celebration at the Synagogue yesterday. It was actually very nice. It is a bit hysterical how they mix the Hebrew words into English. The day before that, we went to the same synagogue for the reading of the Esther Scroll. It's the first time I actually heard it in full. I again wonder at the irony of me having to move to US to do these things.

Anyway. At the Purim celebration there was an attraction for the kids -- a woman made really cute balloon animals and stuff. I never saw anything on par in Israel. Rather amazing. Giant spiders were all the rage :) Hence the title of the thread.

While driving back home we had a really long debate whether we see the moon or something else. It was completely not of this world. Eerie, like in the werewolf movies. A perfect finish for our "movie" night :)
