Praha, Osama, genus Dama

From sightseeing to beer-drinking and from quaint old buildings to scrumptious new love, beautiful Prague certainly made for a grand completion to the abroad-semester spring break.

It's true that the Czech city lacks that for-all-intents-and-purposes-limitless meat access that so poignantly characterizes my time in Jerusalem. But after a few days with Prague's extensive public transportation system, I admit it has become a bit of an effort to sustain my childish excitement for Jerusalem's perpetually forthcoming single-line tram.

Back in Israel-world, today's Rothberg International School's Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony was certainly moving---though a certain interpretive dance may have been just a bit too moving, unnecessarily and most uncomfortably emphasizing (in coherent order) the letters "L," "U," "S" and "T" of "Holocaust."

Finally, the genus Dama is a type of fallow deer common in many areas of Europe and Asia. The genus Dama lacks any substantial, non-rhyme-based relationship to this post.
