Sept 2008, The WM08 Meeting in Israel & Jordan, which I had the right to organize, has come to a successful conclusion.
That's the perfect moment to take a break from my addiction to VT.
Along 5.5 fascinating years I made numerous 'wildworld' LOL friends, virtual and real, and I want to keep in touch with all of you.

Report, attendees' experiences, photos, feedback of unforgettable 25- 30th Sept WorldMeet2008 you can find by clicking here and in my Albums, down at this page.

shalom ve'ahava (Peace & Love) from Jerusalem,
Enjoy & Explore,

My home

I live in a peaceful, hilly village, 15 km from the city of Kfar-Saba. In five minutes walking you're into lovely nature of hills, valley, blooming flowers (on spring), plants, birds, citrus orchards.
I'm not smoking, appreciating the pure fresh air around.
I'm single,a girlfriend stays frequently at my home. Still 2 people can enjoy my apartment.
No time limitations of day/night when hosting, I'm free-lance, usually very busy, but flexible. Week-ends are preferred time for hosting.

You name it:

Parts of my philosophy

- "When we think of failure; Failure will be ours.
If we remain undecided; Nothing will ever change.
All we need to do is want to achieve something great and then simply to do it.
Never think of failure For what we think, will come about.”
- "Knowledge is structured in consciousness. The process of education takes place in the field of consciousness; the prerequisite to complete education is therefore the full development of consciousness -- enlightenment. Knowledge is not the basis of enlightenment, enlightenment is the basis of knowledge."
- "The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."

- Maharishi Mahesh Yogi[Rishikesh, India, the Beatles' Guro].

IF by Rudyard Kipling

"If you can keep your head when all about you
Are loosing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise.

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with triumph and disaster,
And treat those two imposters just the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn- out tools.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch- and- toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss,
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew,
To serve your turn along after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you,
Except the will which says to them: "Hold on".

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can feel the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the world and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a man, my son !"
