Dear Friends, Here is a musical special from the crew at Latma, specially translated into English. The song is a current take on the Passover song Had Gadya – One little goat. Ours is called “Had Bayta,” or one little house. Editing note: the first photo you see in the video is the face of Yariv Oppenheimer, Peace Now’s…
There is an element of irony in the current crisis of relations between the Obama administration and Israel.

In Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israeli Arab rioters supported by far-left protesters stoned buses. Israeli Arabs firebombed motorists on Highway 443 and on the…
In the week’s Tribal Update from my Hebrew language media satire site Latma, we discussed the professional prospects for female Muslim rabbis. We also devoted a special literary corner to the dweeb in chief in Washington. I hope you enjoy the show. Feel free to post the broadcast on your websites and send on to your friends.
