Hi Everyone! Last week I moved within Ma'ale Adumim. After 19 years in one place it takes getting used to a different apartment and neighborhood. I am ten minutes away from my old neighborhood so I will still be able to walk over to my old neighborhood friends for Shabbat. Due to an address mixup and a dead cell phone battery, I did not have wired phone service and Internet installed for 5 days. I survived :-) ------------------------------------------------------------- Here are two messages I sent out to my lists over the past 2 weeks: Subject: Photos of Second Hakafot Hi Everyone! Tonight (Saturday night after chag in Israel) I took photos of the second hakafot at S'deh Chemed in Ma'aleh Adumim. I posted 239 photos on my website at: http://www.jr.co.il/ma/pic/2009/ma409.htm When the first page comes up, press the F11 key on the top of your keyboard for a full page view. Use the icon buttons on the bottom of each page to navigate. I also posted 198 of the 239 photos on Facebook for name tagging. You can acces the Facebook Hakafot album via: http://bit.ly/second-hakafot-facebook Enjoy the photos. Shavua Tov - Have a Good Week, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: The Noach Page Hi Everyone! I created on my website a new section for timely topics. The first topic I added to the new section is called: The Noach Page The Noach Page has links to children parsha pages, commentary pages, humor items (including the Bill Cosby Noach skit) and a section on Noach stamps, graphics and clipart. The address is: http://www.jr.co.il/t/noach.htm Enjoy!
