A few weeks ago they were upgrading something in our electrical setup at work, and we were without electricity for around 45 minutes.

We were lucky enough to hear Shuli Natan tonight, in a local concert. She’s pretty famous in Israeli circles, primarily for singing the song Yerushalayim shel Zahav (Jerusalem of Gold).
