Ani lomed ivrit batimi ba'bait..

The books are certainly working. Or, perhaps I'm quite good at languages. I have been testing myself and I am proud to say that now I can follow ALL the prayers using 100% hebrew siddurim -yeah, no phonetic help anymore for me! Plus, I am getting more and more words out of the gossips I hear in the synagogue (they don't know it yet). The books and my mentors Sarit Hadad, Dana International, Dudu Tasa, Ninet Tayeb, Ivri Lider, Miri Mesika, Eyal Golan, Shlomi Saranga, Ofra Haza, Zohar Argov, Subliminal, Ayala Ingedashet, Shiri Maimon, Arkadi Duchin, Nikka, Ethnix, Monika Sex and Dana Berger have contributed greatly to this..oh, and Yair Lapid and his comments!

"Al-Quds Day" in Iran

This is just so ridiculous. Al-Quds Day? Iran's government is so focused on messing up with Israel.. Will these guys ever realize that jews are here to stay? I wonder how much money they spend on paying people to hold a rally in the streets of Tehran, instead of using that money to empower their oppressed minorities and the povery that is clearly shown on the slums around Tehran and the other major Iranian cities. How shameful!
