Hi Everyone!

Israel Independence Day is celebrated this year on Thursday, May 8, 2008.

The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment

has several entertaining features to celebrate Israel's 60th birthday:

Jewish Trivia Quiz: Israel

What is the national emblem of Israel ?
"Pehsek Zeman" and "Egozi" are what type of Israeli foods ?

All 126 links have been reviewed / checked this week.
