In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: August 2007
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Sunday, 19 August 2007. We Israelis and Jews have long boasted about our tremendous value for life. We’re proud of the fact that we never forget about our soldiers – no man is left behind, nor forgotten. Every death – whether victim to war, terrorism or road accidents – pains us greatly. But is this for real or is it just empty, oft-repeated rhetoric? It reminds me of my shul. The shul wants to be friendly. So how does it go about be friendly? Likewise with valuing ...

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: Too many cooks
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/06/too-many-cooks.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Wednesday, 13 June 2007. Building a Cabinet can be a difficult challenge for a new Prime Minister, especially when leading a new party full of power-hungry opportunists and with several other coalition partners. To satisfy the many, Olmert appointed a record number of ministers, creating jobs that d. More ridiculous, Olmert appointed a whopping six deputies! I like the picture! 13 June 2007 at 14:26.

Turning the Tide: April 2006
http://turningthetideblog.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thoughts on Life, Israel, and the Jewish World. Monday, April 10, 2006. Book Review: Postville - A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America. What happens when Brooklyn Lubavitchers move to rural Iowa to open America's largest kosher slaughterhouse? To call it a clash of cultures is to put it mildly: the two groups could not have been more different. Bloom spends most of the book talking to people on both sides of the divide and finds each side simmering with hatred for the other. Thursday, April 06, 2006.

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: How to beat the boycotts
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-to-beat-boycotts.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Wednesday, 11 July 2007. How to beat the boycotts. Heifetz was previously the chairman of an Israeli music production company, which at least served him well when making small talk with another pop music producer, British Mid East envoy Lord Levy. Israeli Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Moved to Israel from England two years ago. I survive aliya by following some advice from the late great Alan Ball, England World Cup Wi...

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: Where are they now?
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/06/where-are-they-now.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Saturday, 23 June 2007. Where are they now? I burst into laughter. “Abu Mazen? 8220;Yes. My name is Abu Mazen”. Thinking for a moment I said, “I get it. They all call you Abu Mazen here because you’re the only Arab member of staff. What’s your real name? 8220;No. They call me Abu Mazen because that is my name. I am Abu Mazen.”. Feeling a little embarrassed I thanked Abu Mazen and off we went, thinking to myself that I could now say that Abu Mazen cleaned my car.

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: Read all about it!
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/06/read-all-about-it.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Tuesday, 19 June 2007. Read all about it! Like most subcultures, Israeli shuls have their own printed medium of communication – it’s called the Shabbat leaflets. These leaflets, published by Yeshivot and Jewish organisations, started out some years ago as black and white photocopies, comprised of a few short. However, the common thread through most sheets is a strong political line. With. Community leaders would air their views. Whatever the week’s. And the importan...

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Thursday, 28 June 2007. Bring Gilad home now. So what’s my point? Olmert should do a deal straight away, give them whatever they want and bring our boys home… and never let this happen again. Wednesday, 27 June 2007. From Downing Street to Emek Refaim. Quartet middle east envoy. Saturday, 23 June 2007. Where are they now? I burst into laughter. “Abu Mazen? 8220;Yes. My name is Abu Mazen”.

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: Harry Potter and the Holy Machloikes
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/07/harry-potter-and-holy-machloikes.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Friday, 20 July 2007. Harry Potter and the Holy Machloikes. At midnight tonight, all will be revealed when the final Harry Potter book is released. The suspense will finally come to an end. Children and adults across the world will be queuing up to get their hands on a copy. This is, of course, everyone except for Israelis. Why? No doubt passing most readers by, the advert makes a subtle reference to the holiest of holies in Judaism – the. 8220;Who will live? When I...

In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts: From Downing Street to Emek Refaim
http://valleyofghosts.blogspot.com/2007/06/tony-does-emek-refaim.html
In the Shadow of the Valley of Ghosts. Wednesday, 27 June 2007. From Downing Street to Emek Refaim. Tony has always been a friend of Israel, sometimes at great political cost. His support for Israel last summer might have been the nail in his political coffin, a decision that couldn’t have been made easily. It only goes to prove that he must have a thing for Israel and the Jews. With rumours circulating that he’s considering converting to Catholicism. Quartet middle east envoy. 29 June 2007 at 17:12.
