Great photos, keebsiweebsi!

keebsiweebsi July 28 2006, 03:15:38 UTC

Thanks! I "took" (posted) them myself!

ladyhawke_wings July 28 2006, 05:16:15 UTC

Wow! That's great!

I hope you don't mind, but they were so great, I passed the link onto my rabbi. ;-)

keebsiweebsi July 28 2006, 06:25:15 UTC

Please, pass it on, pass it on. Let the Jewish world see what positive things their brothers and sisters in Israel are doing!

What unit are those pictures from? Your old unit?

Thank you for more amazing photos!

RE: Which unit? keebsiweebsi July 28 2006, 02:59:20 UTC

Talia,

That's not my unit.
This is a tank unit, and I don't know which one.

Re: Which unit? mustbecrazy July 31 2006, 05:39:31 UTC

Artillery, no?

Thank you for posting these. Am Yisrael Chai.

Amazing... thank you for posting.

Do you happen to have a bigger version of this?

I would very much like to make a print (or if you took it and would sell me one, that would be great, too.)

RE: picture keebsiweebsi July 28 2006, 06:08:42 UTC

Nope. I just copied it from the original website, which is posted at the beginning of my blog. Pictures are from Associated Press (an Israeli photographer I think).

Awesome photos. Thank you.

And... I hope the judge takes it easy on that popsicles & chocolates charge. There are worse things.

keebsiweebsi July 28 2006, 06:12:53 UTC

There ARE worse things. Such as disunity amongst the Jewish people! The one thing this war has done well is bring us together (except the radical liberals who have been walking around Tel-Aviv with signs that say "Withdraw from Lebanon and Gaza," as if we hadn't already done that! Ha!

So unity is great! Especially through chocolate.

Unity through chocolate! Sign me up. :-)

Those photos are so amazing. Thank you.

I think the photograph of the two men walking? away with the M-16's strapped across the backs of the Tallit Gadol is perhaps a nice summation of what it means to NEED faith.

imagine praying, and always having to have your weapon nearby or on you for fear of coming under attack.

Yep. Some of the oddest, and most special, moments in the army were when the class of the Matzav and our religious life were strongest. Such as a 48-hour exercise, march, run, mock-battle, followed by Shacharit in the middle of nowhere, and suddenly everyone (in Nahal Haredi it's "everyone") pulls out their tefillin from their army vest's pouch (which also contains army equipment!)
