Hi Everyone! Over the past 2 weeks I received several job postings but I do not know if they are still open. I will send out a CJI job report next week if I get email confirmations that they are open. Meanwhile....... Congratulations and welcome home to the 239 new olim that made aliyah today. The NBN aliyah charter flight arrived in Israel on early this morning and included 103 children in 41 families and 58 singles. The youngest oleh in the group is 7 weeks old and the oldest oleh is 82 years old. The flight also included 4 dogs and 1 cat. I took 382 photos of the exciting, historic event and I posted them online at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/2010/a623.htm I also posted the 382 photos on Facebook for name tagging. There are two sets of photos and you can access the albums via: http://bit.ly/olim-aug19-facebook-1 and http://bit.ly/olim-aug19-facebook-2 -------------------------- Last week, I took a bus trip with AACI to the Better Place Center in Pi Glilot, Ramat Hasharon. Better Place is the company that is working in Israel and abroad to build a transportation infrastructure that supports electric vehicles. During the visit, each one of us that had a valid drivers license, was allowed to drive an electric car for a few minutes. After driving the car for a few minutes, all I can say is: "Wow!" Great pickup, no gear changes, quite and it will reduce the world's dependence on oil. I posted photos of the visit at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/better-place/index.html I also uploaded the same photos to a Facebook album at: http://bit.ly/better-place-august10-2010 -------------------------- This week I updated the Rosh Hashana hotsites at: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdayrh.htm For those that do not know, I have a 3 Year Jewish Holiday Calendar located at: http://www.jr.co.il/calendar.htm For best printed results use the Acrobat PDF file. When printing the PDF file use the print option "fit to print margins". -------------------------- If your company has open positions in the computer field, please let them know about CJI. CJI is free and the format for sending me positions is located at: http://www.cji.co.il/post.htm I am going down to Arad for Shabbat. Tonight, the weather report says it will be 42 in Arad. I hope the air conditioner and fans hold up. Stay Cool! Shabbat Shalom, Jacob
