BergaBalls

as mention in the last post, i started to make high quality juggling balls, probably the best know to mankind (they are really excellent - believe me).



i want to try and make a site dedicated for the juggling things i make and see it i can sell some of it online to all the jugglers across the globe.

weekend trip

Yesterday, I had a small performance in Akko, a beautiful ancient town in the northern part of Israel, about an hour and a half drive from our home.

So we all got up pretty early for a saturday and at 07:00 we were already heading north. we went to the knights hall in akko, where the knights of the past (crusaders) used to roam. there I made a show for workers of a big food chain.

as the guide talked about the old times she mentioned the fact that there were performers to lighten up the hearts of the knight so far from home. and that was me. You can see me and the costume and Lia on the left.

after the first of two shows we had a break of almost three hours during which we went out of the knight halls area to eat Jachnun.
So we spent another beautiful hours bathing in the warm winter sun(not really winter here in Israel, can't remember the last time it rained. I think we had about a week of winter).

After the second performance we got back into the car and headed further up north all the way to Rosh Hanikra, which is a kibbutz next to the border of Lebanon.



Next to the border there are amazing caves the the see has carved into the stone. you descend to the caved in a small steep cable-car. after a couple of hours in the caves we went back up to the car and headed home along with all the other Israelis that went north that day.





and some more news worthy of mentioning:

• Revital, my cousin and her boyfriend Omri are getting married! on the 25th of January.


• the site of Shaul the photographer has been uploaded to the web, there still needs to be little work done on the text, but it's out there.check it out!


• I have started a little joint venture with a small juggling equipment producer here in Israel to make juggling balls. I found a great fabric after many tries and got myself a set of great balls that you will be able to find on the market soon. I have called them BergaBalls. (no real reason behind the name, just sounds good). another product that will be out soon is a beautiful Rola Bola, it will be called the BergaBola of course. if you come up with any more products that start with "B" don't hesitate to contact me!

News News News

a lot of new things happened in the last three weeks, and i have been meaning to write about them every Sunday, i mean it...
So, finally i am sitting and writing and i wasn't sure what to start with. there were a lot of things that happened that i thought, wow, this is something to write about, and now i am not totally sure i remember them all.

first of all Sarit had her 29th birthday (5 years in a row already!). I made her a little surprise by painting our living room to match the nice set of new sofas that we just got a few days before that. as Chanuka was just happening at that time we made a party for the close family. at the end of the evening her parents stayed a bit longer and as you can see in the video that will show you how nice those new sofas of ours are... (please note that we do not living in a neighborhood with a lot of motorcycles driving by in the night, the soundtrack is something different)

there is hardly a night that goes by in which you will not be able to see at least one member of this little family going to bed at 01:30 after falling asleep on one of the sofas.

one more new thing that just happened yesterday was that i finally set up the structure that will enable me to learn how to walk on a slack-rope. I set it up just yesterday and it is a lot of fun going out to the garden next to the fish pond, hearing the little waterfall and trying to stand on a rope. see for yourself if you want, you are all invited to come by our house and try it out! i hope to be able to walk the rope and juggle at the same time in the near future!




Sarit has also been to the doctor recently to see how the progress with the little one is coming. at the time the following picture was taken (5th of December) that s/he was just about 2.27 centimeters big (or small). We have another check-up on Tuesday, might even find out if its a he or she...


Chanuka was here and there was a lot going on in the show-business. I had relatively a lot of work with a show or two a day for the week of the holiday. For the next couple of months there should be a lot less work in juggling so hopefully some work in website design will show up.

latest project

for all of you vitisim out there, my latest project is building a website for shaul to showcase his pictures so that he can start doing a bit more photography and a little less hard work stuff. so here is a temporary link to where the work in progress is hosted currently. I will post a link to the site once it is made hopefully next week.
enjoy.
