"Are you ready to be a hero?" reads the tagline, if so they invite you to join their ranks and and strengthen the Jewish world "one click at a time" by taking part in an international event, a Facebook-based Chanukah Color War [blue, red, or green] and where "you and the other members of your team will get an alert on each day of Chanukah with your mission for that day. Missions will be online acts of good for the Jewish world. The more people complete the task, the higher the score." At the end of the eight-day Color War, Gold, Silver or Bronze medals will be awarded on participants' Facebook profiles. Click here to join on Facebook. Click here for the Jerusalem Post article about SuperJews.  

Benji Lovitt of What War Zone on Hanukkah in Jerusalem. Check out the video; it's bound to make you laugh, cringe and/or feel like eating a sufganiya (doughnut).

 

 

Composer/producer Erran Baron Cohen, brother of Sasha Baron Cohen of Ali-G fame, brings you Songs in the Key of Hannukah. He also wrote and composed all the music on his brother's successful film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Khazakstan.

 

It started with Stuff White People Like, then we had Stuff Jewish People Like and now we have (drum-roll, please) Stuff Jewish Young Adults Like . Check out their blogroll, it's an endless stream of Stuff [insert race/minority/sect/sexual inclinations and so on] Like.               

 

Falafel TV produces, directs and shoots documentaries in Israel, around the Middle East and worldwide. Their most recent documentary The Disengagement Film, a look at the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, was released last year.                                               

 

For a look at the funny/absurd side of what it is like to be an American boy in the Israeli army, check out Israeli By Day who will soon by joining JPost Blogs on the popular blog Army Life.

 

 

This award-winning blog about Jews, food, health, sustainability, organic produce and delicious-cooking celebrated its 2nd birth-day last month. Oh, and they are hiring.

 

 

They made headlines in late July when several anti-Israel groups on facebook were intercepted, their members deleted, their pictures changes to Israeli flags and their administrators' titles changed to stuff like "Mossad Zionist". Visit the JIDF's website to check out what they have been up to lately and what they think of all the press they received due to their activities.

 

For a surprising glimpse at what life is really like in Gaza check out Doshkaya: Is this the Middle East? "A startled Anglo-Arab woman living and working through the Middle-East". Warning: Adult language.

Just to clarify: Stuff Jewish Young Adults Like was started before Stuff Jewish People Like, and in addition, SJPL stopped updated in April, whereas SJYAL has been continuously active on a regular basis.

WaynE stover in Denver: Larry Derfner is like all the other liberals. When people don't agree then they are not intelligent. I guess we are stupid when we give to the Palestinians and then they continue to murder innocent people and go back on all their promises. I hope and pray for Obama the rookie to listen and learn from Bibi. Wayne
WAYNE stover in Denver: This is a message to the leaders of Israel. Please do not fall into the trap of a two state solution. Don't let the pressure of other world leaders force you into suicide. After all the lies / broken promises you are actually considering something so illogical. This sounds a little off but the only thing you will be doing is creating a massive revival in Israel caused by the threat of a being conquered by Islam. Two states means half of Jerusalem.
ILoatheBBC UK: What would have been disproportionate is if Israel was at the receiving end and losing one single war.Then there would have a disproportionate wholesale slaughter of Israelis.
