Recommending Construction/Renovators
I just completed a project with EuroStar Renovation and so please with the job they have done for my husband & I that I wanted to share it with the forum.
We’ve had other contractors work for us in the past and have always had issues. Eurostar gave us the most personalized attention we’ve ever had. They went to with us to all the stores to help us purchase the best quality materials at the best price. There estimates were itemized and completely reasonable. They provided design ideas and all of the work was finished on time. They are fully licensed w/permit, which was important for us. They completed a very complex renovation in a timely matter and, to top it all off, this husband & wife team were a pleasure to work with.
Please take my word for it and give them a call (718) 846-1039. They will provide you with more referrals and before & after photos. After working with so many contractors, I am confident in recommending them as the best!

Documentary Film “Can You Hear Me?

Find out more: Read or hear a podcast interview of the filmmaker, Lilly Rivlin, by going to hipslopemama.blogspot.com
“The film revolves around the relationship between Leah Shakdiel, an Orthodox Jew, and Palestinian Maha Abu Dayyeh, activists who are convinced that women’s efforts can lead the way to peace, and who are committed to dialogue, despite its difficulties. Leah Shakdiel emerges as the center of the film. Her passionate commitment to mobilizing women on both sides of he divide breaks the stereotype of Orthodox women. Her powerful presence, highlighted by a straightforward, unassuming style, makes for a compelling film.†— BARBARA EPSTEIN, UC, SANTA BARBARA
“This is a film for all those who want peace in the world and who believe that peace is possible. I viewed this film with two Pakistani rural women. They had no idea that Palestinian and Israeli women actually met. As they saw the humanity of women striving for peace together, it brought them to tears.‖SAMEENA NAZIR, FOUNDER OF RURAL WOMEN UNITED
