Tidbits - Good News

  1. The largest desalination plant in the world is now operational in Ashkelon. Now we can rest a little easier about our water supply.
  2. Yad Ben Zvi has come out with an English-language album-style history of the Land of Israel, written by top scholars. Perfect as a gift or a souvenier.
  3. Shai has gathered together all his "Weekend Miscellaneous Pop Culture Entry" posts in honor of its "50th anniversary". Highly recommended.
  4. My Obiter Dicta's back, with some interesting insights.
  5. ...and you can check out the official website of the Tell Es-Safi excavation project, where I recently spent a week as part of my degree requirements.
  6. ...or check out the possible discovery of King David's palace (notice the NY Times' efforts to bend over backwards and poo-poo the whole thing).
  7. ...or enjoy some of Martin Kramer's choice lectures.
  8. ...and finally, a hilarious blog on Syria.
