Hi Everyone! Below are three announcements that you can enjoy during Chanukah and beyond.....
I scanned and posted on my website the new Israeli stamps that were issued in December 2014. I included the stamp itself, the first day cover, and an English and a Hebrew flyer about the stamp. - Hanukkah - Maran Rabbi Ovadia Yosef z"l - Arik Einstein z"l Sundials in Eretz Israel - The Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem - Al Jezzar Mosque, Acre - Zoharie Chama Synagogue, Jerusalem Israel's Automotive Industry - Standard Carmel, 1936 - Kaiser Manhattan, 1951 - Sabra Sport, 1961 - Sufa Jeep, 1992 - Orchids Israel-Ecudaor Joint Issue The new stamp images are located at: http://www.history-of-israel.co.il/stamps/index-2014.html I also uploaded the images to a Facebook album. The address is: http://on.fb.me/israeli-stamps-2014 ----------------- This week, I launched an upgraded version of my educational and entertaining website: The Jewish Trivia Quiz http://www.jewish-trivia.com There are over 800 multiple choice questions in the system. Level 1 questions are geared to young students and Level 2 questions are geared to older students and adults. There are 14 topics including Chanukah. You can choose your level of play and timer settings. The new site lets you share questions with your friends. For example question 829 (level 2) is: On back of which Israeli coin, in use today, is a picture of the temple candelabrum (menorah) ? You can share this question directly with the link: http://www.jewish-trivia.com/q829 There are social media buttons to share questions on social networks. Feedback is welcome! ----------------- Today, I was in Jerusalem taking cool Chanukah Photos. I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/chanukah-photos.htm I also posted them in a Facebook album at: http://bit.ly/Facebook-Chanukah Enjoy! Please share this email with friends.
