Israel Update – 05/15/12

Shalom Everyone!

Since one of the winners of the Israeli chocolate raffle from the Israel Update survey never got back to me, I put names in a hat once again and ADAM KRAUS (in addition to Ari Wertheim, the original winner). Please blitz me about your chocolate!

First off, here’s an Israeli song in honor of the weather “Geshem” (Rain) by Benzene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM2G70WfRKs

This week’s Hebrew word of the week is some slang: “l’heetcharmen” (“to hook up”). Enjoy Green Key!

This week, in lieu of a news article, I want to inform you of an Israel-related event on campus that J Street U is putting on; I hope to see you there!:

Israel’s New Coalition: Who Really Won?

A Talk by Bernard Avishai

4:00 PM May 16th

Bernard Avishai, a noted expert on Israel’s politics and economy, will discuss the new Likud-Kadima coalition unity government, its meaning for Israel’s politics and how it will affect the peace process.

Have a great week and an excellent Green Key! If you have any comments, questions, concerns, compliments, complaints, or other words that begin with “c,” feel free to blitz me!

B’Shalom,

Ittai
