This a beautiful, in a healthy male, healthy parent way. Seeing him clown around casually and lovingly is beautiful. I can only hope that many more of the Israeli dads could clown around, be as physical, casual and loving as Shlomo Artzi.
In so many cultures, dad/son snuggles, cuddles and carrying on have been repressed, either because they impinge on machismo, or are perceived as weakness in the male armor.
I know I haven't posted on this blog in some time. Israeli politics and military and fascist realities aside, I'm seeing yet another gilgul -- cycle -- of history coming about. And none of the nations in this area, clearly, are learning from history. And history is a bitch to repeat.
More as I get back into the swing. Until then, let's look at the economic horror show in America, and the impending return of governmental sanity there, and meditate on how Israelis, in culture and form of government, might learn from terms like transparency, accountability, and prioritization.
