Who says men know nothing about fashion? The new royal baby--Princess Charlotte of Cambridge--received a "Welcome to the World," present from Israeli president Reuven Rivlin in the form of a very… adorable pink and white bird print dress. The frock reads: "From Israel, with Love" across the front. This is the second present President Rivlin has sent the British royal family. The first was an adorable matching outfit when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first child, George, was born. Read the full story and see the… >> Read More

What we… don't have in common is that you're also a great mom (I am not yet one, myself). And because you're so great, you deserve something really special this Mother's Day. We here at Kveller know how hard motherhood can be, and to be a great mom on top of being a great spouse, employee, artist,… >> Read More

Like most everyone else in the civilized world, I was happy to hear the news of the birth of royal baby number two this weekend. But as soon as I saw photos of the perfectly coiffed Duchess of… Cambridge smiling and waving in front of the cameras just hours after giving birth--complete with designer dress, full face of make-up, perfect blow-out, and Jimmy Choo heels (!)--I couldn’t help but feel …. disappointed, and even a little sorry for Kate Middleton. We all understand that Kate has a team of stylists, and that no… >> Read More

Amidst the recent violent protests in Israel by Ethiopian immigrants to the Jewish State who are protesting against inequality, poverty, and police brutality, it is easy to read and watch the media… reports and come to the conclusion that the situation is black and white.

I wore "Life" around my neck from the summer I was 16 until the spring I was 22. Five years, nine months. The necklace was carved from Eilat Stone with two letters forming the shape of… "Chai”--Hebrew for "life"--a metaphor I chose from the summer I went to Israel for the first time. And one day, nearly six years after that summer, my boyfriend pulled hard until the chain bit into my neck, tugged until the charm fell off in his hand, glinting in the center of his palm between the lifeline… >> Read More
