That converts the tsadee from a "ts" sound to a "ch" sound, a sound not found in conventional Hebrew. A similar conversion happens when you add an accent to a gimel(ג), you get a "j".

I see that long word you mention (looks like sandvitzim to me but my Hebrew is very rusty)..."sandwiches" of course. I had fun trying to read the Hebrew... You've inspired me to buy some brown rice...I do like it and my dh loves it and it's good for us too. But I also love white rice (medium grain) with a teaspoon of chicken broth granules added during the cooking....even better than butter! My mouth is watering….I want some falafel!!

Phyllis, there was another place in Jerusalem a friend told me about, but the truth is, we were only in Jerusalem for three days, how many places can you go! My kids experienced a Burger Bar in the Old City. In comparison, my Eldest son preferred Burger King (someone thought maybe because of all the salt they use). Lion of Zion, I really do prefer the brown rice now. Especially if it's prepared well. My cousin said his third son has lots of long-haired friends. I saw "third son"'s wedding video, and then I really began to notice all the long-haired men. Urban Buddha, glad you enjoyed my food pics. I got more... I'm spacing them out over the summer.

(only in america is it standard to sell them together, which i never understood as most kosher pizzerias here are israeli) on our last trip (2 years ago) i noticed a lot of those fresh juice vendors. it seemed to be someting new. we bought a lot of orange juice. "long hair seems to be in vogue among twentyish young men in Israel; I wonder if it’s a reaction to the army" i'm sure it is. but it also seems that israeli guys like to look like girls sometimes. (e.g., with the really tight clothing.) but not that i'm one to talk about long hair. i really miss eating out in israel. i buy brown rice and pasta for the house, but it really doesn’t taste as good as the white stuff. no matter what you do with it.

I love any type of rice, but have been trying to stick with brown and/or wild rice of late. As time passes, I'm losing my childhood preference for fluffy white swimming in butter.

Yes, for the most part. We certainly enjoyed the food we sampled. I have to say the Asian restaurant we went to off Emek Rafaim Street wasn't as good as it could be; no brown rice and too saucy, not enough green vegetables. But my Eldest son, who is picky, picky, thought it was quite tasty. >Isn’t the food in Israel great?!
