It&#8217;s bad enough when you buy a computer or other electronic device overseas and try to get the Israeli representative to honor the international warranty. But it&#8217;s almost as tough getting them to honor the warranty on products you bought right here!
Stop me if this sounds familiar: You buy a product from a local electronics store, and decide you don&#8217;t want it – or find something wrong with it. You bring it back to the store, where you are subjected to an interrogation by a clerk, who demands to know ...]]></description>

Making aliyah is exciting for every member of the family. The new home, the Jewish environment, the Shabbat atmosphere, learning Hebrew – it&#8217;s a time of excitement for parents and kids alike.
But there&#8217;s one member of the family who may be less than thrilled – your laptop. That&#8217;s because it knows that if anything goes wrong, it may have trouble getting itself fixed in a land where “international warranty” doesn&#8217;t always translate properly.
Over the years, I&#8217;ve gotten emails from readers on all sorts of topics, but one of the most ...]]></description>

This is a station that won&#8217;t be found on the AM or FM band, though – it&#8217;s exclusively for my use. My 10,000 songs have a home on my computer&#8217;s hard drive, and I&#8217;m be able to listen to them either directly on the computer, or the other computers in the house – or even through my cell phone. And to get the music I need for my station, I&#8217;ve been busy downloading songs off the internet ...]]></description>

No, this is not the opening to a Seinfeld routine (although I bet he has one on the subject!). But it&#8217;s a situation we&#8217;ve all become familiar with: The cell phone companies present us with “plans” that include free minutes, free chat, free internet – free! &#8211; but we somehow end up paying the same, or more, with each subsequent plan!
How could this ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;We are of the same race and blood, and cooperation will bring great prosperity to the land,” wrote Emir Feisal to Felix Frankfurter in 1917. Feisal was known for his affinity to the Zionists who had begun streaming to the Holy Land; in 1919, he signed a cooperation agreement with Haim Weizmann, to whom he wrote that he was “mindful of the racial kinship and ancient bonds existing between the Arabs and the Jewish people.”
But Feisal&#8217;s proclamations of kindredness with the Jews was more than lip service to a commonly ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 9th day of Av, known as the fast of Tisha B&#8217;av, has been, historically, a bad day for the Jews. Tisha B&#8217;Av is, of course a sad day because it commemorates the destruction of not one,but two Holy Temples, and presaged our loss of national independence and descent into exile. 


Tisha B&#8217;av got its bad rep way back when the Jews cried over the evil report of the spies who had gone to the Land of Israel for undercover espionage work. Ever since then, the day has been appointed ...]]></description>

But “they” have never gone supermarket shopping in Israel on a Thursday night; anyone who does learns very quickly that it&#8217;s kedai to come hungry!
Borekas, pasta, yogurt, pretzels, humus, newfangled juice drinks – that was just a partial list of the offerings available for sampling by customers in the super-mega-club-deal market we went to the other day. The sample stands inside the market are staffed ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Israel is blessed with a plethora of museums and exhibitions celebrating the country&#8217;s history, culture and accomplishments. Nearly every major (and some not so major) city and town has a museum presenting its history. There are museums dedicated to the country&#8217;s historical heroes, like Herzl and Ben Gurion. There&#8217;s a museum celebrating Egged buses (Holon) and the Israel Police (Kiryat Ata). There&#8217;s a museum dedicated to wheat (Haifa), and even one with a display on the historical development of theatrical lighting (Hod Hasharon).
All worthy of exposition, no doubt; but how ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Now that the election in the U.S. is over, we&#8217;re gearing up for our own poll – and as usual, security weighs heavily for local voters. Israelis feel that we&#8217;re at the epicenter of world terror – that nowhere else in the world is as dangerous, except for Iraq, Africa, and a few other places you wouldn&#8217;t want to live anyway. There&#8217;s always something to worry about here, the conventional wisdom says.  But on one day recently, Israel looked a lot safer than many other places, when seen through ...]]></description>

In this age of e-mail, SMSing, and who knows what other communication wonder they&#8217;ll come up with next, there are still people who use the “regular” &#8211; also known as “snail” &#8211; mail. Are these people Luddites, or what?  And we&#8217;re not talking about an insignificant tribe. Judging by the traffic on my local e-mail community list, “can anyone take a letter to the States for me” ranks just behind “Looking for a lift to X” on the hit parade of favors people are always seeking.
