Hi Everyone!
Tonight, I was shopping for food at a local supermarket.

were recipes for Shavuot.

Hi Eveyone!
It has been 4 years since I went to the Jerusalem Flag march.
Today, I started my walk from Yaffo Street and Davidka junction,
walked to Sha'ar Shechem of the old city and then to the Kotel.
In past years, I would first walk on King George Street,
where the guys are dancing, then down Agron Street.
This year, it was Yaffo Street for a change of habit and a shorter walk.
I showed up to the Kotel early and davened Mincha.
By the time I left, around 19:30, it was very crowded and
people were still coming into the Kotel plaza.
I posted the photos at:
https://jr.co.il/jerusalem/2023/jer665.htm
Enjoy the photos and please share. Thank you!
Yom Yerushalayim Sameach!
Happy Jerusalem Day!
Shabbat Shalom,
Jacob

Hi Everyone!
The Jewish festival "Lag Ba'Omer" is Tuesday, May 9, 2023.
If you are flying over Israel on Monday night, May 8, and you
look down out of your plane, you will see thousands of bonfires
dotting the landscape as far as the eye can see. There are various
customs and explanations for these celebrations.
I posted on my website 48 links to learn about "Lag Ba'Omer".
