I would like to wish all of my readers ראש השנה (or Rash Hashana). Here is a video below courtesy of Aussie Dave (of Israellycool fame) that will hopefully bring a smile to your face during these “exciting times.” Posting will resume tomorrow.

(Image Credit: Jon Sullivan) If there was one insect that was considered vital to the human race, it would have to be bees. While they are often known for their tasty bee spit (also known as honey ), this tiny creature is responsible for pollinating about 25% of our food supply. Unfortunately it seems as if bee colonies are slowly disappearing, an...

Paul McCartney, one of the two surviving band members of The Beatles (the other being Ringo Starr) decided to defy the death threats and perform a live concert in Tel Aviv! There are even more videos on YouTube for you to enjoy! If only I could have been there. Content Copyright 2006-2009 of IsraGood. All Rights Reserved. Violators (and hosts) can be...

While the environmentalists use trees, the jocks use sports, and the geeks use virtual operation systems to help bring about peace in the middle east, these ladies use something that most guys dare not speak in public about–a woman’s waist line. (Israel 21st Century) Starting after Ramadan and the Jewish New Year, a group of Palestinian and...

It looks like 13 Israeli tech firms will be visiting (note: or rather have visited) the US in order to meet with government officials from Georgia (the US state, and not the country). (Globes Online) Thirteen Israeli technology companies will meet major US companies in Atlanta this week, as part of a groundbreaking conference focused on harnessing Web 2.0...

Depending on who you talk to, if you mention the phrase “fish farm” you will usually get three reactions–smiles and drooling, an ugly rebuke (note: they are probably an environmentalist) or a shrug on the shoulders (they have no clue what you are talking about). While fish farming helps satisfy the craving for sea food, it does have its darker...

(Image: Wind Turbines, Credit: IQWind) Wind Power (which is a near cousin of the Windmill) is one of the few green energy technologies that is not only “easy” to build, but also does not produce any harmful waste (i.e. like nuclear). Unfortunately the technology has not always been too efficient, with the blades turning at the same RPM (or...

Perhaps “destroys” is a bit of an over statement, but it looks as if Israel surprised many fans and foes alike by defeating the Czech Republic in the EuroBasket. (Haaretz.com) Israel overwhelmed the Czech Republic 98-61 last night in EuroBasket qualifying play, winning a spot in next year’s tournament despite coming into the game with the odds...

Even though visions of electric cars dominating the US, Europe, etc. may still be just that–visions–it looks as if Israel is slowly embracing a future powered by electronic cars instead of gas guzzlers. (Video Credit: Israel 21st Century) I am not too surprised to see this, as Israel has been trending green for quite some time now. One of the main...

After previously creating iBlessing (which they are now charging users $1 USD or NIS 3.6 instead of giving it away for free), the Jewish Learning Group has created a second iPhone app that informs you when you can eat meat after drinking/eating milk and cheese (or vice versa) in order to help keep you kosher. The cool thing about this iPhone app (aside from...

Roads are like the blood vessels of a country: they not only help connect everything together, but they also allow critical supplies to reach far away destinations. Unfortunately maintaining them can be expensive, especially if one has to build a long winding road to a remote area (especially if trucks travel on them). Fortunately an Israeli company is leading...
