Hello Prague: The Gothic Powder Tower
One of the truly interesting and dramatic aspects of Prague is the prevalence of Gothic architecture, which dates back to the 1400’s! One such example of Gothic architecture is the The Powder Tower or Powder Gate (Czech: Prašná brána), which is one of the original city gates, separating the Old Town from the New Town. I happen to love architecture in general, so visiting a city like Prague that is filled with historic architecture is truly exciting. The Powder Tower isn’t something that you have to make a special trip to see, as it is very close to the Old Town Square, and likely on the way to somewhere else!…

If you happen to have a bunch of blank apples made for crafting, just waiting for their turn in the spotlight, as I did, paint them in your favorite colors, add some white details with a paint pen, place them in a footed glass bowl, and voila, a fun Fall, Rosh HaShana, Succot, or even Tu B’Shevat centerpiece is born!

Happiness Is A Jar Full Of Tiny Origami Paper Stars
I truly wish it were that simple, don’t you? Truthfully, it really can be, and for starters it is all about putting things in perspective, being happy with your lot, and recognizing the need to be grateful for all the good you do have, not to mention for every moment and every morning that you wake up, as nothing is certain! On the other hand making tiny paper stars might come easily to some of us, while to others making a jar full of these would be torture. And that my friends is sort of like happiness: easy to come by for some and really difficult to achieve for others,…
