60 Years On!!!! Happy Birthday Israel

Nathan — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:08:46 +0000

As long as the Jewish spirit is yearning deep in the heart,

With eyes turned toward the East, looking toward Zion,

Then our hope – the two-thousand-year-old hope – will not be lost:

To be a free people in our land,

The land of Zion and Jerusalem.

What else can you say?

Yom HaShoah

Something remarkable about a moment of silence where a whole nation comes to a stop, gets out of their cars, and commemorates & remembers something as monumental as The Holocaust.

Anti-Bookite

When you were a kid, you had a book fairs at your grade school. I am willing to bet money you did. Somehow I have a feeling that it was slightly different than the Paris Book Fair. Not only in the scope, but in the language, awards, and controversy:

As I talked about a few days ago, I have become a little obsessed with putting my photos on Panoramio and mapping them to Google Earth. It is kind of fun, I love maps and I love photos! A natural combination.

There is a feature on Panoramio where you can see “all” photos posted in a [...]

Crossing Into Syria?

Nathan — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 06:32:27 +0000

Check this out : the position on a photo I took in Israel last year in Google Earth. Zoom in pretty close and notice this road goes right into the Alpha Line of the UNDOF, then back. If you look very closely there are these immense rock piles along the road forcing an intense zig-zag. [...]

Oh Israel, Stained with Blood

Nathan — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 19:48:33 +0000

A lot can be said about the recent events in our Jewish homeland. I feel a mixture of rage and pride for my people and a land I love.

Rage at the quick trigger of the UN Security Council to condemn Israel for trying to protect her self from Gaza rockets, but the failure to condemn [...]

Israel is 60 this year, I am 35, and Tel-Aviv is about 100.

Yeah us!

Talmud Tidbit: Lowly Nations

Nathan — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 19:11:37 +0000

Rabban Yochanan Ben Zakki wept and said, “Fortunate are you, O Israel. When they do the will of the omnipresent, no nation or tongue can rule over them, but when they do not do the will of the omnipresent, he delivers them to the hands of a lowly nation. And not into the hands of [...]
