Google Translator Works for Hebrew!!!!!!!!!

October 09th, 2008 | Category: Computers, Cool, Google, Internet, Israel, Judaism, Websites

For the longest time the best online Hebrew translator was milon.co.il. Unfortunaly milon.co.il can only translate one word at a time. However it looks like Google Translator now works for Hebrew!!! Let the homework cheating help commence.

My Yom Kippur

October 09th, 2008 | Category: Cool, Judaism, Life, Politics, Religion

Over all I had a pretty good fast this year. I had pasta right before the fast and it seemed to do a good job of keeping me full.

On Yom Kippur night I went to Beni David and about half way through the service I met a very important person. No it was not Dad or my Uncle, it was the Mayor… Yes Antonio Villaraigosa the mayor of Los Angeles sat in front of me and talked with me for a good two minutes during the night time service.

The day time service was less eventful, I spent most of the morning in Shul, went back around 5pm and broke my fast on cake there, I then went home and had left over pasta from the night before.

Israel is not the only one

July 27th, 2008 | Category: Cool, Israel, Judaism, Religion

Did you know that Israel is not the only place where Jews self govern? There is region in Russia where Yiddish is an official language and judaism is taught in the public schools. This place is called the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and even though Jews now make up only about 1% of its population they once made up more, also it looks like the Jewish community there is growing.
