Hi Everyone!
This evening, I went shopping at the Rami Levy Supermarket
in Mishor Adumim. As I was waiting at the checkout counter,
I looked up and saw Jerusalem Psalms banners along the
front of the store. Almost 39 years in Israel and I still get
a kick out of these special "Only in Israel" moments.
Check out the photos at:

Today was the 17th of Tamuz - the beginning of the three weeks
mourning period of the destruction of the Holy Temple.
I updated the educational resources at:
https://jr.co.il/hotsites/tisha-b-av.htm
May we see the rebuilding of the Temple in our days and that
Tisha B'Av becomes a day of celebration.
Please share the resources. Thank You!
Shabbat Shalom,

Hi Everyone!
Today, the Mahane Yehuda street market in Jerusalem started
the celebrations in honor of 100 years in business.
I decided in the late afternoon to go for a visit and I took photos
of the market and the entertainment.

BTW - I looked at the rugelach more than once, but I was able
to resisit the temptation :-)
Enjoy the photos!
Please share. Thank You!
Have a good week!

and translation and 31 unique videos of the traditional Jewish
song welcoming the Shabbat.
FYI: There are 14 Hebrew Shabbat song pages - Zemirot Shabbat at:

Listening to and understanding Hebrew songs
is a fun way to improve your Hebrew.

Hi Everyone!
On June 27 1976, an Air France flight from Tel-Aviv to Paris via Athens
was hijacked and forced to land in Entebbe, Uganda.
The Jewish passengers were separated and held hostage in demand
to release many terrorists held in Israeli prisons.
After much debate, the Israeli government sent an elite commando unit
to raid the airfield and release the hostages. The commando unit,
aircraft crews and the rescued hostages landed in Israel on July 4, 1976.
Yonatan Netanyahu, the commander of the first aircraft’s Sayeret Matkal rescue unit,
was shot and killed while helping hostages return to the aircraft.
"Operation Entebbe" was later named "Operation Yonatan" in honor
of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu z"l.
I created a page with images, newspaper headlines, videos
and articles about the historic Israeli rescue.

May the memory of Yoni Netanyahu be for a blessing,

and took photos of flora. I posted them at:
