Are you doing anything artistic or creative these days that you weren’t doing before? If so, talk about it.
At some point during the fall, I got the urge to have a little toy to play with for mental breaks during the work days. I'd keep it on my home-office desk. While these MagnaTiles are much larger than I expected (I just didn't thoroughly consider the measurements provided), they're pretty cool to play with. I don't use them as much as I would if I had them on my desk (they'd take up too much room), but when I do play with them it requires me to carve out a bit more time that I otherwise thought I would. That's been kind of nice, actually.

What do you think was the biggest news event this past week -- either in your community, nationally, or globally? Talk about why it’s a big deal.
The biggest news in Israel this week were the protests. Bibi had prohibited demonstrations against him in Jerusalem, claiming that they spread the virus, so the protests moved to almost every community across the country. I live in Tel aviv, and since we are not allowed to go more than 1 kilometer from our house, there are protests across the city, multiplying like little Gremlins. We went out to demonstrate with our children and so did many of our friends. The demonstrations moved from Jerusalem and became a community event, and much bigger.
