HH#165: Happy 60th Israel Edition

by Leora

Jack of Random Thoughts has posted the latest edition of Haveil Havalim, the weekly carnival of Jewish and Israeli issues.

Some of what I learned:

  • Yom Ha’atzmaut is Hebrew for “go to the park and eat a cow”.
  • Like me, ImaBima likes the blue in Tsfat.
  • Israelis know how to party.
  • Is anyone conflicted about celebrating July 4th? (read Jewschool)
  • How to read combat statistics (Daled Amos)
  • I’m glad I don’t live in South Africa.
  • Eli Cohen may have been the greatest spy in Israeli history.
  • There’s more about the fasting after Pesach (which I wrote about previously) at Adderabbi.

And wish Jack a Happy 39th Birthday.

    Phyllis, I get bored just writing HH#foobar is up. And it helps me actually read some of the posts. Of which there are SO many.

    Maybe next week I’ll make it into a scavenger hunt…

    A scavenger hunts sounds kind of cool.
