Tarbuton - Hebrew - Israel - Culture - Community

This site works like Netflix, letting you browse the library and make a list of books you’d like them to send you.  They send you a book, you read it, then send it back.  When they receive it, you’ll receive the next book on your list.

The company is in Canada. But, they offer their services for all of North America.  Pricing initially is $14.95.

I LOVE this concept and haven’t tried it yet but hope it will help communities raise money for Israel in a fun way.  If you like to run marathons or half marathons you can contact this group and let them know about the race.

They’ll post the race on their web site and set up their site so you can use it to raise money for Israel.  What an amazing way to get a team of friends together to do something fun and support Israel.

This category in the Tarbuton blog is designed to provide resources for travel to Israel, learning about Israel, and more.

I don’t have personal experience with this program, but it sounds amazing.  Instead of focusing on the Israel of yesterday, solely on our history. It focuses on the amazing strength, innovation and with pride shares the huge technology story of Israel and its people.  Plenty of history, nature and trips are included as well.  But, its a twist on the traditional trip and my guess is its well worth it.

I found this site and really enjoyed their DVD selection - though note that they offer PAL and not just NTSC items. To view them you need a universal or multi-system DVD player.  But, they have some popular American movies for kids like Ice Age and Shrek in Hebrew as well as for girls the fairy tales in hebrew like Cinderella, Snow White, etc.
