Not My Facebook

Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was captured by Palestinian militants on June 25, 2006, and is still being held hostage by Hamas. On this second anniversary of his abduction, Jewish Facebook members around the world have shown their support by changing their Facebook profile photo to a widely circulated image of Gilad, provided by his family.

Facebook is a social networking site that is popular with the kids these days.

Do Not Watch This

If you haven't seen the popular viral video "2 Girls, 1 Cup" spreading on the Internet like wildfire, consider yourself lucky. I won't include a link to the video, or even describe it.

However, if you are curious, rather than watch the video, you can watch people's reactions to watching the video instead.

Thanks for the tip, JB!

25th Hour

"The Havdalah service marks the end of Shabbat. It should be performed no earlier than nightfall on Saturday night. Nightfall is the time when three stars can be seen in the sky. It is normally about 45 minutes to an hour after sundown, depending on your latitude." (jewfaq.org)

You can check what time Shabbat ends on the Chabad.org Calendar ... just wait until after Shabbat to look it up.
