Stand with Israel and against Ahmadinejad

This was in my email this morning:

STAND WITH ISRAEL!

Speak Out Against Global Terrorism and its State Sponsors.

Free the Kidnapped IDF Soldiers.
NATIONAL SOLIDARITY RALLY
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza

(across from the United Nations)
Wednesday, September 20th

12 noon, rain or shine

2nd Avenue at 47th Street
Subways: 4, 5, 6, or 7 to Grand Central Station

Thousands of shofarot will sound in a call of unity with Israel.

Participants are urged to bring a shofar.

Sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, in cooperation with the United Jewish Communities, UJA-Federation of New York and Jewish Council for Public Affairs

If I were still living in NJ, I’d be there. If you can make it, I urge you to go. There will be thousands of Jews with shofarot protesting the modern-day Haman. Wow. I can’t wait to hear the podcasts. (Shofar is feminine? That’s—weird.)

    Some Hebrew words are like that: they have plurals that sound feminine but the word remains masculine.

    A few examples:

    halon (window) –> halonot (there was a band in the 1960s, I believe, that was called “Ha-halonot ha-gevohim,” “The High Windows”)

    ilan (tree) –> ilanot (Naomi Shemer played with these kinds of words in her song “The Nature Protection Waltz”)

    halom (dream) –> halomot

    Here endeth the lesson.

    well, shofarim is taken for people who drive limousines…
