The silver lining in the cloud of the US's credit rating being lowered is that for some strange reason, the dollar has taken off against the Shekel, something people like me who get paid in dollars have been hoping for months would happen. We're back over NIS 3.50 to the dollar for the first time in a long time (and to think I thought I was amazingly lucky to convert at 3.489 last Thursday).Labels: credit ratings, Standard and Poors

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com
