the 90th minute

Until September 2007, when my oldest daughter was born, this blog covered daily life and politics in Israel, as well as Hebrew-English linguistic issues, from the perspective of an American-raised journalist and translator living in Israel. Now it mostly serves as the SmunchMonk&Bear news agency, a portal into the bizarre universe of the little people. Read more at: www.shoshanakordova.com.

Historical discovery #2: Noah was trying to sail to Egypt

Since Rimonit keeps asking to see Pharaoh, Mitzrayim, etc. (um, have I mentioned how into the Pesach story she is?), I put on the Sipurei Hatanach Saba Tuvia DVD today and showed her "Pharaoh for pretend," then I started it from the beginning. Turns out that the reason Noah got into the ark was because he was trying to sail to Mitzrayim. Who knew?

Then she got on her toy phone to Pharaoh and asked him to "let people go." (Though I wasn't privy to the other end of the conversation, I can only presume that the reason she asked "why?" immediately afterwards was because he said "no no no.")
