||are these the exiled children?||
Avi Lebowitz: The pasuk writes by adam, when he was thrown out of gan eden - וישכן מקדם לגן עדן, and by kayin when he was thrown out -וישב בארץ נוד קדמת עדן, both seem to contradict the pasuk ויטע ה' אלקים גן בעדן מקדם, which implies that gan eden was most to the east. How can they be thrown out to the east if they were already on the most eastern spot in the world?
R' Shalomi Eldar pointed out to me that although rashi seems to translate the word קדם in all these places as east, unkelos seems to translate as a place set aside from before. Therefore, according to unkelos both gan eden and the place they were exiled to were set up in advance for that purpose.

Eating Cooking Fooding: We (mom, Barak and I) wanted to make a spacial surprise for dad’s birthday. We know that he’s not the kind of person to enjoy dinner in a fancy restaurant so we decided to make reservations to the most authentic Philippine karaoke bar / restaurant in Israel – Mommy’s place.
Upon arriving the place we had to get permission to enter as this place is highly secured. I have made reservation for 18 people on a Friday night, but I was was warned it will be very crowded. After waiting outside for couple of minutes we were led inside.
It’s obviouse the kitchen is secondery to the Kareoke bar and food is made to accompany drinks, mostly fried stuff. Unfortunately the Adobo dish – the only Philippians dish wasn’t available so it was more Thai dishes I guess. Dror brought some fancy bottles of wine that we opened, they were all excellent. Thanks Dror! There were two singers that pretty much took over the mic and sang in English, Thai, Japanese and unrecognized languages. The crowd was cheering, clapping and dancing. The main experience was the unique atmosphere of the place. The music at the beginning was 90′s pop classics (Fun!) that changed to the karaoke theme pretty fast.So this was a very big success overall, everyone had a great time, especially dad! Keep in mind when going there that reservations are doubtful even when confirmed ahead of time, just arrive pretty early if it’s a weekend night. Also they don’t except credit cards. The owner Yossi was very welcoming and invited us to come to an opening event of his second restaurant in Nataniya.
