Nvidia record-breaking Israeli campus, new IDF band video, Chanukah AI animations

Hi Everyone!

I thought that these three announcements
justified another mailing this week.

Huang declares Israel Nvidia's "second home" with
record-breaking campus investment.
The 90-dunam mega-campus in Kiryat Tivon is set to
house more than 10,000 employees.

Photos of The Giant Chanukiah in Mevaseret Adumim

Hi Everyone!

On Monday night, 6th candle lighting of Chanukah, a group of
enthusiastic youths from Ma’ale Adumim built a giant
Chanukiah in Mevaseret Adumim.

The Chanukiah was made with approximately 400 tealight
candles with sand in falafel bags placed on the side of the mountain.
This was a unique way to publicize the miracle of Chanukah.

Thanks to Chava Docks who sent me the photos which I placed online at:

www.jr.co.il/ma/pic/2013/ma831.htm

Enjoy the photos.

Chanukah Sameach and Chodesh Tov,
Jacob
