Beer and Cheese evening

Beer and Cheese evening Israel has a fairly low beer drinking culture. There is a great love of beer here, but many people know very little about it. So, when I was invited to share my knowledge and talk about my favorite drink, I was very happy. The meeting held in BoHouse on August 9 […]

Porter is the king of beers

Do you love Porter as much as I do? It is with this slightly modified phrase that I want to start my article. Usually, when people ask me about my favorite beer, I say that I don’t have one. Because every beer needs its own setting, time, appetizer and mood. That’s all true, but deep […]

It’s a country I’ve dreamed of since my youth. After reading Vsevolod Ovchinnikov’s The Sakura Branch, I created for myself an image of a magical country so different from our own. In those years, it was one of the few available books about Japan, but we all lived behind the Iron Curtain, and there was […]

What’s in your name?

Our lives are changing rapidly, and suddenly it turns out that we grew up wrong, eat the wrong food, and what we read is some kind of enemy literature. Then everything goes back to normal, only to be disproved again by the next researcher who has recently written his dissertation. If things were like this […]

Workshop in Baku

On my birthday, I gave myself a gift—I organized a trip to my homeland, Baku, which I hadn’t visited in 10 years… On all my trips abroad, I try to include visits to breweries. So, I called Carlsberg Azerbaijan and… unexpectedly received an offer to give a lecture-presentation for bloggers and media representatives. I had […]

Reflections before the holiday

Tomorrow begins the week during which Jews don’t drink beer. And “on the way” I want to publish some reflections… So, here I am now, slowly sipping an IPA from a local craft brewery. It seems like everything is right: the hops smell like citrus, and the bitterness is nice and lingers. But you know […]

I haven’t written anything on the site for a long time. At first, I was busy at work – I had to finish all the projects before my vacation. When I arrived, I couldn’t write anything until I published the story about the Japanese diplomat, as it affected me so much. Then I just didn’t […]

Yom Kippur 2024

Those who know me personally know that I am not a religious person, but I definitely do not deny the existence of any higher powers. I have already expressed my attitude to this holy day, and more than once. As I’ve written before, it’s a time to stop and think about how we live our […]
