About Kesher Talk

  • "Kesher" means "connection" in Hebrew. The banner image is the mosaic floor of a 6th c. synagogue in Jericho, showing a menorah flanked by a shofar and lulav; the inscription reads "Shalom Al Yisrael." (This synagogue was destroyed by Arab vandals a few years ago. The condition of the mosaic floor is unknown.)

Egyptian dissidents make news

Alaa.jpgAnother blogosphere triumph: The Egyptian dissident story made the Washington Post today. Alaa is still in prison, but the combined effort of numerous bloggers and demonstrations all over the world have brought his plight and that of other Egyptian dissidents to the attention of thousands of mainstream media readers.

(Van attended the demonstration here in NYC - photos and a report here.)
