Hi again!

Lost in translation:

I did find it interesting, but I nearly coughed up a lung laughing when I read:

    This story perhaps highlights the difficulties being faced by the Chief Rabbinate, which continues to wage its war on illegal and unauthorized kashrut supervisions that arise like Patriot missiles in the rain.


I figured the original must have said "pitriot", which makes sense.  And indeed, the original is here: http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART1/871/037.html?hp=1&loc=33&tmp=3251 , and the line is:

    סיפורו של "בד"צ בלקר" מבטא יותר מכל את המצוקה שבה נמצאת הרבנות הראשית לישראל במלחמתה בגופי כשרות קיקיוניים שקמים כמו פטריות אחר הגשם.

Until next week,
Shabbat shalom!

-Calm for us, that is... but our trusty local newspaper reports in the "police blotter" section about a husband whose wife threatened to "burn him up".  This in a "city without violence", as the sign boldly posted at the entrance to the city proclaims.  And don't even mention the increasing number of women I've seen [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=packing+heat packing heat].  Don't mess with 'em, boys, you don't want to get burned!
