Hi Everyone!
Jerusalem Day is celebrated on the 28th day of the
Hebrew month of Iyar. This year (5766 / 2006) the day
falls on Friday, May 26, 2006. Due to the date being on a Friday, many
of the celebrations will take place a day earlier on Thursday, May 25.
The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment
has several entertaining features to celebrate Jerusalem Day:
Jewish Trivia Quiz: Jerusalem
Who built the first temple ?
How many people were involved in constructing the first temple ? What
are the colors of the Jerusalem Beitar soccer team ? Which animal is on
the emblem of the Municipality of Jerusalem ? What three Jewish holidays
is Jerusalem the focal point ? How long ago was Jerusalem established ?
On what mountain was King David buried ? How high is Jerusalem above sea
level ? What is the name of the famous art school in Jerusalem ? What is
the length of the wall surrounding the old city ? When was Hebrew
University established ? Which group defended Jerusalem in 1948 ? How
many open gates does the old city of Jerusalem have ? What is the name
of the largest shopping mall in Jerusalem ? Who was the first mayor of
Jerusalem ? What was Jerusalem called in the days of Abraham our
patriarch ?
The above questions are examples from the multiple choice
Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both
kids and adults will find it enjoyable.
Additional Jerusalem Day resources and games on the J site include: Free
Jerusalem Clipart The Multilingual Hangman Game (English / Hebrew) The
Multilingual Word Search Game (English / Hebrew / Russian) My Jewish
Coloring Book (online / offline) Jerusalem Hebrew Songs with Vowels
(Nikud)
The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, I
posted on my website 140 links about Jerusalem, ranging from history and
tourism to photographs and stamps. All 140 links have been reviewed /
checked this week. The web address is:

Please forward this message to relatives and friends,
so they can benefit from these holiday resources.
Enjoy!
