Twenty minutes ago….Cafe Hillel on Emek Refaim….me, standing in line waiting for my haloumi sandwich. While I love sandwiches in this country, I have yet to actually figure out what haloumi is or what other substance on the planet shares its texture. Are we sure they’re not accidentally putting the rubber packaging of the cheese in the sandwich?
Anyway, I see a jar of jelly on the counter labeled “ריבת משמש”.
Me: “What’s m’shamesh? Useful jelly?”
Employee: “Lo, MEESH-meesh.” (apricot)
(Laughter ensues.)
What’s that, they say? It takes five years to feel at home? Can we get NBN on the phone, please?
And since I’m typing this from the office of the Jewish organization PresenTense, I’ll include a link to a recent TV clip about their offices where free-lancers/self-employed people/arsim are invited to work (just kidding, arsim…who am I kidding, they don’t read English). Ten points if you can identify some dumb oleh in his cameo appearance.
Five points if you can figure out how to make this graphic a link.Forty-seven points if you send me chumus.
Sorry, Mac users, this country’s working on it. Repeat after me: “We’re only 61…we’re only 61…”






I feel even dumber. I thought it was jelly made on the sun.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
COMMENT OF THE WEEK!
HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In front of the graphic, type in < a href="[insert url here]" target="blank"> After the Graphic, insert < /a> (But remove the spaces after the < in both tags).
Does that make sense?
Didn't work. Thanks anyway, not worth any more time.
Google "html how-to."
I always forget that kind of stuff, but there's a few helpful sites out there that spell it out pretty clearly.
Skip the sites that seem to be written by coders for coders and soon enough you'll find one written for the rest of us where you can copy a few basic lines, and paste in your own stuff as needed.
I'm not sure if you really sold that "Shalom, mah shlomchem."
(BTW, I also know someone who is shown working int he TLV Hub in there.)
If someone says Haloumi are you supposed to say gesundheit.
