Yom Shabbat
Saturday
13 Shvat 5783
February 4 2023
As regular readers of OneIsrael know, we do not write a blog on Shabbat; instead we post photos and graphics for your interest.
1. Graphic:
Israeli newspaper Yediot Ahronot published this graphic yesterday as to who are the people protesting against the legal reforms.
And as you can see, most of the people protesting are secular Ashkenazi Jews aged 55 and over (as we have pointed out in previous blogs).
2. Photo:
The ongoing storms has brought heavy snow to Mt. Hermon. Note the depth stick in front of the snowman yesterday.
Not surprisingly, Mt. Hermon is open to skiers and snowboarders today if you can survive the traffic jam to get there.
3. Photo:
It has been a violent Shabbat so far with an attack on a soldier in the Shomron (terrorist killed; Israeli unwounded), and what you see above.
What you see is a house in Jericho which IDF soldier hit with an anti-tank missile after cornering the terrorist who carried out the terror attack at the Almog Junction several days ago (13 Palestinian terrorists were wounded in the above capture).
4. Photo:
A flyer plastered on a wall inside the Temple Mount this morning glorifying the terrorist who murdered 7 people last week on Neve Yaakov St. in Jerusalem.
Shortly after the flyers featuring the murderer were plastered all over the Mount, police removed them.
5. Graphic:
A fascinating study published in Science Advances by two scientists at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot.
The study showed that the total weight of all the arthropods in the world exceeds the weight of all humans and livestock in the world (40% of the weight belongs termites; 10% is from ants). In the above graphic, you see the distribution of arthropods in the world. An estimated 10 quintillion of these arthropods live underground.
On this buggy note, we wish you a:
Shabbat Shalom!
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
