The lottery's version of cultural judaism

Someone is having a birthday party

The amount of flags in the country right now borders on the absurd.

Bench shortage in Hulon

These poor seniors need to sit 5 to a bench just to catch there breath. Can someone call the Iriya!

Yet another tekes!

This one is for yom ha'zikaron.
No pictures from Yom Ha'atmaut. I watched in on TV.
But May Day is just around the corner!

Long lines at the misrad hapnim, too,

but they do take Visa!

And have an interesting beverage in their vending machine.

In Israel's latest version of Low Low prices, you stand in line forever in order to save 20 shekels,, but at least you get a nice view of the Kotel. Also, I think the checkout would move a little faster if the cashiers had more nimble finger nails.

multiple violations

Man pulled over for swerving on the road. cop soon realized he was swerving because he was having sex while driving, and he was drunk. In his defense, he said he was swerving because his girlfriend was blocking his view.

Ulpan Gordon is Actually Named After Gordon

"In this place in 1933 the House for the Workers Children (north) was established in memory of A.D. Gordon, in the spirit of his slogan 'Work and Learn'. It prepared thousands of children for a life working towards social justice and the equality of human value. It nurtured in them a love of their homeland, and made them pioneers for their nation and the land."

So long, pesach

"All of the options to profit"

A while ago these adds started appearing. It turns out we are hoping for the stock market to crash because we are betting against it. I can't really imagine a more capitalistic, opportunistic, or individualistic ad. כל הכבוד!

"Polish elephant prefers companions of his own gender"

In ha'aretz. The caption "This picture is not connected to the Polish elephant"
