By Michael Kuttner….
For the second time in two months we have had an “only in Israel” experience while traveling on the train.
The first time a total stranger presented us with a Tu B’Shevat plant as a gift for the holiday. This week as we traveled north again two musicians appeared at the front of the carriage and entertained passengers with a lively medley. After their short recital everyone burst into applause, shouted kol hakavod (well done) and offered donations in appreciation. The musicians then proceeded to the next carriage to repeat their performance.
Where else in the world would one encounter a live instrumental serenade on a commuter train?
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Students at Bar Ilan University have issued messages of solidarity to Jews everywhere.
Foreign students and locals alike have joined together in this endeavour.

How a simple case of a pair of shoes drove anti Israel individuals crazy.

A MUST SEE
Listen to two of the most effective advocates for Israel in a joint appearance.
Hard hitting and unafraid to be politically incorrect this video should be compulsory viewing for politicians and media journalists.
