Achla is slang for great!
Sababa is slang for ‘cool’.
Ma Hamatzav translates as ‘what’s the situation’ and its meaning is ‘what’s up’? its friends (synonimus) are: Ma Kore? Ma Ha-Inyanim? or just a meaningful, intoned Ma?

A day in Manhattan
Here’s a great suggestion for a sunny romantic day in Manhattan.
Start your day in the Chelsea Market – http://chelseamarket.com/
After a nice starter take a walk on the High Line – http://www.thehighline.org/
You can continue to one of the great restaurants located in the area and wander in the beautiful galleries and boutiques for the rest of the day.
We did so – it one of our best romantic days out… here are a few photos….
Do you have a recommendation to add, if so please share with us.
Must see April 24, 2010
It’s been about a week and a half since we took the kids to see Cirque du Soleil’s new show – OVO and we are still not over it.
The great acrobatics, comedians, costumes, sounds and scents keep coming back to us…
It was a very well-organized, amazing show.
We thought it was worth every dollar.
Run to see, hope you enjoy.
Do you have a show you can recommend?

Relaxing weekend near the Amish Country April 21, 2010
Here is a great idea for a relaxing weekend.
Thank you to our dearest Ayala Kochan for the following:
Last Friday we drove about three and a half hours south to Lancaster county and spent a beautiful long relaxing weekend with friends in a big house that could easily accommodate us: four adults, seven kids and a dog. The house is located not far from the Amish country and about an hour from Hershey park. However, we didn’t visit any of these places and concentrated in relaxing, spending fun time with the kids, reading and having some adult conversation while the kids were busy fishing (didn’t catch any fish but spent hours trying), bike riding (the house is located on a very light traffic road by the river so the kids can just hop on the bike and ride) and Canoing. When we were tired of relaxing we went on a very nice easy hike in the area and had ice cream in a very nice place just ten minutes away from the house that also offers mini golf for kids and pony riding.
The down side of the trip is that it takes three and a half hours to get there. I am sure there are similar houses you can rent that are much closer.
Since I was not aware of this blog I took the usual family pictures.
Next time we do something interesting I will try to take pictures that better reflect the nature of the place.
Hebringlish April 20, 2010
Today’s Hebrew word is Mazal Tov and it’s a great word to know because you get two for one – it’s the same meaning in Yiddish too! Now being that it is a very special day for my lovely, beautiful, witty, charming, best mom and wife, ever so wonderful blog partner Shelli, you should use the word Mazal Tov, meaning: congratulations and good luck (again, two for one!) to wish Shelli happy birthday! ‘Cmon, what are you waiting for? Post a comment!
Complimentary words can be Matana, gift; and Uga, cake. On top of the Uga you can put Nerot = candles.
Happy day to you all!
