Hi Everyone!
Last night I created a directory of Jewish and Israeli active Twitter users.
The address is:
http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/twitter.htm
If you are an active Twitter and would like to be added to this free directory, please send me your Twitter name and a few words about yourself. I will add you to the directory.
If you are unfamiliar with Twitter, you can learn about it at:

Have a good day,

- Gush Katif
- Promenades in Israel
- The Olympic Games Beijing 2008
The new stamps are located at:

The top of the web page should display the date July 28, 2008. If the page has an older date, hold the control key and press the F5 key to refresh your browser with the updated page.

Only in Israel......
Hi Everyone!
On Friday afternoons, I buy several newspapers including Hebrew ones. Every so often, the Hebrew newspapers include a special insert.
If we get a new Israeli president there will be a picture of him / her; if a sports team wins a championship there may be a picture of them; before Passover you can find a free Haggadah; and before Israel Independence Day there is a large Israeli flag folded inside the paper.
This past Friday (July 25), there was a small glossy, two-sided, flyer in the Yediot Achronot newspaper.
On the front of the flyer is a family eating together at the table.
The Hebrew text reads: Friday is Reserved for My Family
To talk, laugh, eat together. There is one day of the week that you can sit with the whole family and connect. So we declare: Friday is Reserved for My Family.
On the back of the flyer is the Shabbat Kiddush.
I scanned in this cool flyer and posted both sides at:
http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/things/friday-night.htm
After close to 24 years in Israel, I still find nice surprises in the most unexpected places.
Shavua Tov,
Jacob

There were 217 olim on the flight including 50 singles (including 23 people joining the IDF through the Garin Tzabar program) 28 families with 98 children (98 - wow!). The youngest oleh in the group is 3 months old and the oldest oleh is 88 years old. The flight also included 4 dogs and 1 cat.
I took 247 pictures of the exciting event and I posted them online at:
