Well, it has been a busy couple of months but everything is finally starting to come together for my TAMID summer experience. I am all set to work for Mobil Eye in Jerusalem. One of the most promising young companies in Israel, Mobil Eye develops motion sensor technology for cars to ensure increased safety among drivers. You may have seen the new BMW 6 series that stop automatically if you get too close to another car. That’s Mobil Eye. The company, though, claims that this technology is obsolete, and they are currently making even further advances in the motion sensor industry. As their CEO of products Isaac Litman told me, they are now developing technology that can sense and avoid pedestrians. I can’t wait to see what else they’ll come up with while I’m there. I’ll be working in their product development firm doing competitor analysis, market research, and product testing and deficiency analysis, so the internship seems really stimulating – I can’t wait.
As of now, I’m just trying to tie up some loose ends – getting an apt. with a couple of friends, booking flights, etc. I officially start on June 15th and will return home August 12th. I look forward to telling you all about my experiences, and until then I’ll keep you posted on any updates.
Just as an aside, if anybody wants to give me any suggestions of good shwarma places, good bars, or basically any recommendations for good places to go or things to do while in Israel, they would be much appreciated. If I go to your selected place, you will get an official shout out in my blog which will be read by millions of people, so just post any suggestions as comments to the blog posts.

Very nice. But you won’t be getting to any O’s games, so how good can it be?

This is true, but while I do love the orioles, this may be the summer to miss all of their games. 2-13 and losing again tonight, simply abysmal.

Sounds great! Looking forward to hearing more about it.

uri’s pizza in meah shearim and moshikos shwarma (heard they might have lost their hechsher since last summer?) on ben yehuda. also, Bar Burger (yes, not Burgers Bar, how typical israeli is it to do that?) on Shmuel HaNavi, about a block before Shimon Hatzaddik is out of this world. Get the shnitzelim and burger 300 with all of their special sauces. And if your in the mood for an amazing dairy place hit up Dr. Toast just a couple blocks north of Bar Burger on Shmuel hanavi. i can’t remember, r u working in J-town?
