Israel Update – 03/07/12

Shalom All!

With one more day of classes left and tomorrow basically being a Friday, here’s an Israeli classic, ”Yom Shishi At Yoda’at” (Friday You [girl] Know) by Benzin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCGnYHEEsvw

Please note, the video is put on by the “Magic Wheelchair” club of Tel Aviv.

Pretty good stuff.

The Hebrew word of the week, then is “Qessem”, which means magic! Or, alternatively, “Mifchan”, which means test :/

If you have free time and would like to read up more on the Israel-Iran issue, here’s a good article from Haaretz: http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/netanyahu-obama-divided-on-price-of-israeli-strike-against-iran-1.416909

In other news, if anyone is interested in attending the J Street U National Conference March 24-27th, here is more information: http://conference.jstreet.org/. It’s a policy conference that involves speakers like Gershon Baskin, Amos Oz, Peter Beinart, and many more. If you have further questions, please feel free to blitz Ariel Shapiro!

Remember, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, complaints, compliments, or other c-words related to the Israel update, feel free to blitz me (Ittai).

Good luck with finals and have a great break everyone!

B’Shalom,

Ittai
