Israel Update – 02/01/12

Shalom L’Culam! (Hello Everyone!)

First, another Israeli music video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLZ_5innSnM

“Sigapo” by Beit HaBubot (The Doll House) (the band I blitzed out for the first Israel update this term). Sigapo is not a Hebrew word, although it does mean “love” in Greek.

NEW! (Although I think I may have done this a few times last term and not kept it up): Hebrew word of the week!

“Keshet” (kuf-shin-tav) means rainbow, arch, bow (from bow and arrow), headband, and pretty much any kind of arc.

This week, I know lots of people are busy with midterms, etc. So here’s a very short article related to the power of propaganda in worldwide media pertaining to Israel:

Good luck with everything this week! Have a good one.

B’Shalom,

Ittai
