Euro-Star | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2013/06/06/euro-star
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. So this is the post I wanted to write. Not that nonsense about a sick laptop…. So last night, the European Under 21 Football Tournament kicked off to much fanfare. Where did it kick off? The tournament kicked off last night in Netanya, here in the country I love so much, as Israel opened their campaign as hosts with a 2-2 draw with the titans of…Norway…. Enjoy the football and ‘Yalla Kachol v’Lavan! Something Does Not Compute. You are comment...

The Right To Be UNLoved | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/the-right-to-be-unloved
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. The Right To Be UNLoved. In the game of cricket there are a number of weird and wonderful phrases to describe all sorts of events that happen in the game. A spin bowler can bowl a googly, a batsman can be caught slashing, and that’s even before we get down to the daft fielding positions including silly point, square leg, third man, and short backward square (or ‘David Boon’ for cricket aficionados). Why do I mention this? A Voyage With Gibbles.

Magic Moments | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/magic-moments
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Apple announced this week one of the worst kept secrets of the past 6 months. That apart from two new iPhones, they will be updating the central operating system across all Apple products from iOS6 to iOS7. Without getting over analytical, what is a moment? A moment can be a split second or it can be longer. It can be fleeting or it can be lingering. A moment has a number of dictionary definitions. My favourite is:. It’s a funny thing, ...

Success, Failure, and being the Moshiach | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/success-failure-and-being-the-moshiach
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Success, Failure, and being the Moshiach. Have you ever felt that some days you are not sure quite sure what you’re supposed to be doing here? These feelings, as I say, are not uncommon. We all sometimes feel that destiny’s hand rests upon us more than others. Where I think the young Chaim was on the right track is that we all have the potential to be someone unique and special. We all have the ability to be the one person to ‘save&...8230;] ...

Bring Back Our Brothers; Sit Down With Our Cousins | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/bring-back-our-brothers-sit-down-with-our-cousins
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Bring Back Our Brothers; Sit Down With Our Cousins. This is my view. I do not want to spend hours davening and hoping for the safe return of my brothers. Why? Because I don’t want them to be taken in the first place. So how do we prevent this from happening? Dreams are fine, but sometimes we have to wake up and realise that reality is rarely as perfect as we would like. But we have a problem. Personally, I don’t know yet. But I̵...Email (...

Just My Little Sister | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2014/01/20/just-my-little-sister
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Just My Little Sister. This got me thinking how we approach sympathy, and specifically in my case, as it is Chana’s Yaartzheit today, how sympathy for everything connected with Chana, in both her life and passing, has elicited different forms of sympathy for myself, Mum, Dad, and Rachelle. My parents are my inspiration and the source of who I am, in every aspect of my personality. Leaving them behind to make Aliyah was the most difficult deci...

The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Something Does Not Compute. So like taking a sick pet home to read it its last bytes and wait for the RAM Reaper to whisk it off to the laptop heaven in the landfill, I collected it and brought it home. But instead of waiting for ‘Dell Boy’ to die, I did what any good parent would do; I headed to the internet for a cure. Hmm, maybe I need to clear out some of my own nonsense…. A Voyage With Gibbles. It was Monday morning, February 16, 1998, w...

A Voyage With Gibbles | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2013/01/30/a-voyage-with-gibbles
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. A Voyage With Gibbles. Last year I wrote for the first time in full about the turbulent emotions that I went through after Chana’s, A”H, passing. It had been hard to be so far away from my family, knowing that certain details were probably being kept from me due to me being so far away. For this reason, over the preceeding weekend I had decided that I wanted to come home, and that I would start to look at flights back to England. It was my Da...

A Salute to the Inverted | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2014/01/03/a-salute-to-the-inverted
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. A Salute to the Inverted. Hello, I’m back. My laptop finally gave up the ghost, so here I am back on the wagon, so to speak, with my new laptop! Now let’s dive right back in with a two part special on the rise of casual Anti-Semitism masked as Anti-Zionism, and the rise of real, straight down the line, Anti-Zionism. We’ll start today with the former and move on in the next blog to the latter. Before the period of The Enlightenment the excuse ...

Good Night Sweet Prince | Chaim B'Yisrael
https://chaiminisrael.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/good-night-sweet-prince
The train of thoughts that run through the mind of Chaim Ford. Good Night Sweet Prince. The day comes to an end and I still can’t believe he’s gone. A sun has set on an unbelievably amazing life and we are left to bask in his afterglow; just as we basked in his glow during his all too short life. He was a doting father, a beloved husband, son, sibling, and uncle; A family man, a talented screenwriter, a Ben Torah, an awesome friend, and much much more. This fact summed him up. Jez I hope the tears I have...
