It's sad to see that anti-semitism is still rearing its ugly head but good to know that the Hebrew language is alive and flourishing.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-16258487236955054262009-05-06T01:23:00.000+03:002009-05-06T01:23:00.000+03:00I enjoyed this post.

I was watching a show on PBS television just last night by Andrew Rosenberg, called The Jewish People: A Story of Survival, and all these things were mentioned. It was a fascinating program...some of it I already knew about but I learned a thing or two also. <br /><br />You can see a link at: http://www.pbs.org/previews/jewishpeople/Sara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-11661173628477348332009-05-05T23:51:00.000+03:002009-05-05T23:51:00.000+03:00Meead, thanks for the surprise post at your blog. ...Meead, thanks for the surprise post at your blog.

I believe Israel and Palestine need all the help they can get from people with goodwill. It's such an intricate situation, only a real commitment to success will finally make it work. <br /><br />If Catholics and Protestants are on the verge of achieving peace in Ireland, perhaps there's hope in your region too. When both parties are fed up with the killings, the pain, the suffering, perhaps they will be ready for peace.Nathalie H.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16806509041466785588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-27822048200336432852009-05-05T18:15:00.000+03:002009-05-05T18:15:00.000+03:00Dear Dina, I hope my words haven't made you upset....Dear Dina, I hope my words haven't made you upset.

Meanwhile I have time right now only to answer an easy question:<br /><br />JM, the menorah (like was in the ancient Temple in Jerusalem) has seven arms. The chanukiya is lit on the festival of Chanuka and has nine arms. They have separate names in Hebrew. But in English they both tend to be called menorah, hence the confusion.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-37520217165531402862009-05-05T12:36:00.000+03:002009-05-05T12:36:00.000+03:00Spectacular menorah!
