Tagged to Answer questions by Normal Jew and Nech77a
My dear new blog friend, Normal Jew, has tagged me to answer the following questions:
) At what age did you decide you would be a lawyer? why?
My grandmother and I used to watch Perry Mason together all the time on her small black and white television. I remember, when I was 8 years old, I thought this was a great idea. I then read a biography about Clarence Darrow at the same age, and knew I wanted to be a lawyer. I wanted to change the world, and be able to affect people's life. But law was not my first area of interest. I have a B.A. and M.A. and was working on a Ph.D. in anthropology before I went to law school.
2) If you were a "perfume fragrance" what fragrance would you be?
Definitely Frederic Malle's Musc Ravegeur. This scent is very unique and makes an intense statement. It is quite sensual, and its fumes speak power, self-confidence, and a flare for drama and adventure.
Either women love this scent, or do not, and some strangely do not feel comfortable wearing it. I love it.
3) If you could spend a year in a foreign country, where would it be? Why?
This one is easy. I would live in Israel to be with the Jewish people. In fact, we have been talking about moving to Israel once our children are married and settled. I would love to give back, and help build and make a contriubution to the land of my people. I also just found out, that if you are a citizen of Israel, you can be buried there, free, I believe, and the custom is to put you in a shroud and just bury you, no coffin, inside the earth. A beautiful custom.
4)If you discovered a new flower, what name would you give it?
A cross between a night blooming jasmine and a white datura. I think I would name it Senturata.
5) Do you secretly admire anyone? who?
A secret to some, but not others. I love the composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. His music has spoken to me, touched my heart and soul for more than 30 years. I think he is a composer who speaks from his heart, no holds barred.

Will you please interview me, if you have time? Just like NJ, if it needs to wait until later, no problem.

Is your husband Jewish also?
olah,
I'll send you off some questions.
Niobium,
Of course. He is a Cuban Jew.
Interesting questions, Nect, and I have to think about them, but here goes:
Barbara, I feel funny interviewing you here, but here goes:
1. What is your favorite bagel flavor?
Some things never change. I like the plain water bagel the best.
2. If you could change your name, what would you choose? Why?
Both my children's first names are Hebrew names. I would pick one for myself as well. I am not so crazy about my own Hebrew name, but I like the name Golda. (sounds strange, I know.)
3. What talent do you wish you had and why?
I wish I could be a conductor of a symphony orchestra. I love classical music, and have been blessed with a fine year. I do not always hear music the way I want, so this way, I could have some control.
4. If there was one thing in one person you could change, what would it be, for who, and why?
I would make sure Hitler was never born.
5. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Good question. I find it difficult to deal with people who are hypocritical or are full of contradictions, i.e. say one thing which stands for a certain proposition or way of living, and does something else. I do not understand these people, and think if relaxing certain rules of living can take this defect of character away, it would make the individual feel much better about himself/herself.
Thanks for the great questions. Shabbath Shalom.
