So I have chosen two blogs to focus on because frankly both interest me greatly. The first one is of an American Jew living in Israel raising her children. From what I have gathered from her blog thus far her main goal is to demonstrate how one can raise a Jewish household, in and out of Israel. She seems to be pretty up beat most of the time and answers others questions and responds to others more than I think she discusses her own troubles.

The second blog, to contrast with the first one, is about a Palestinian woman raising her two children in and out of Gaza. She is a journalist and therefore travels but is confronted constantly with being unable to return to her homeland. She speaks from the heart and therefore I find it very interesting to watch her progress and struggle. Her blog raises the question of how it is possible to raise a family without a home. "We live, for the most part, in a state of constant temporality, and this, more than anything else, has come to define us."
