1) "WawaWEEwa!"
2) Your new co-workers said, "come on, watch Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague championship game and then just crash here in Jerusalem!" and you said yes. The related lack of sleep and time away from my apartment gives even more reason to look forward to the upcoming time off...as if Israel's 60th weren't exciting enough already.
I can't believe I'm still managing to post these days...we'll see how long it lasts.
Here's something that had me tickled pink yesterday (ech omrim "tickled pink"?) I managed to understand the vast majority of it. Seems the Israelis are slowly entering the War Zone and enjoying it.
And finally, before I fall asleep drooling on my MacBook, here's a pic to get you excited for the 60th. I love Azrieli.
Apparently the individual lights are "sold" for 10 shekels each with the money going to some good cause. Anybody know anything?

WOW that was a GREAT post about you! The girl loves you! Congrats! (And if you need help understanding the other 25%, you have my number).
The money for lighting the Azrieli flag to to Elem, which is an organization that helps at-risk youth. You can see the promo video on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_C9musrntc
There is an explanation on the video, but it's in Hebrew. You can see the progress here: http://www.hadegel.com/ So far 44% of the lights are lit. You can also "light" on by clicking on the big button on the top left part of the page via credit card if you don't have an Israeli cell phone.
2 things are hilarious about the Azrieli being lit up like that:
1) How much is it going to cost to keep the lights on?
2) Didn't we just have Earth Day, where the whole point was to use less lights?
Still, it's awesome!
they do it every year, but i've never seen it on the azrieli building... which makes sense, considering that the azrieli square hasn't been around all that long.
I've seen some photos of that building(or similar) with a flag on it before. It's always light like that April/May?
I think I learn more about Israel on this than any other.
Maybe you should check that girl. She seems to like you.
wow a whole new fan base for you...
Jeff, they do it every year before Yom Ha'atzmaut (the last 2 anyway).
