Jam Odyssey, Beer Nuts, & Birthright

More Playlists!

Under The Sea Jam Odyssey

Once a week I post a song on This Is My Jam. It’s a social platform for sharing favorite songs, one at a time. This week I got a message about some kind of underwater odyssey. A few clicks and a couple of minutes later, it produced an 11 minute audiovisual montage of all my jams from 2013.

To watch the 11 minute montage, or to check out a three-hour playlist based on my jams, click here.

Pass The Beer Nuts

With Valentine’s Day safely behind us, I decided to reissue one of my favorite mixes called Pass The Beer Nuts. It’s a light-hearted mix featuring songs about all kinds of different girls. It’s not set for streaming, but you can download the mix as a zip file. I tested it with iTunes, and it works perfectly.

Representing Israel

In the Beer Olympics

I got the following message from a former Birthrighter of mine:

My girlfriend and I are doing a beer Olympics next weekend and we are team Israel and we are required to provide a 30 second song for the opening ceremonies (non national anthem). I figured who better to ask than Mennu. Do you have any recommendations of a cool song to walk out to?

Turns out, I do.
Check out my recommendations at Round Trip Radio.

Speaking of Birthright Israel

Registration for this summer’s Birthright Israel trips opened this week. I staffed a bunch of trips for a bunch of different organizers. (Scroll to the end of this post for a picture from my first staffing experience.) That gives me a fairly good perspective on choosing a trip provider. If you or a friend is considering registering for the trip, now is the time to do it. I’m happy to answer any question or help in any way that I can. But remember, the time is now! Don’t wait another week.

If you have gone on the trip, well, you know…

Neither Rain Nor Snow

wpid-20140219_080659.jpgNothing will keep Sela away from the park. It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or wet or snowy. She
wants to be taken out to the nadned. She had 3 fun playdates this week with different friends beside her usual BFF Luka.  Her artwork continues to improve and in a combination of curiosity and stubbornness, she ate a lemon.

Sela visited the Please Touch museum a few times, including once with her Sabba. Speaking of Sabba, her other sabba, Sababa had a birthday this week. Sela was a little shy on Face Time, but at least she smiled a little bit for the camera.

More pictures and video can be found on the Sela Stream.
