Esperanto in the Jewish Press

www.tabletmag.com/scroll/11167/how-to-say-‘peace’-in-esperanto/

This title, How to Say Peace in Esperanto, may somewhat contrast with, How to Say Billionaire in Esperanto?, which appeared later in the New York Times.

Another Jewish website, Cross-Currents, also had a recent article on Esperanto, by a recently ordained rabbi, Adlerstein.

Palestinean Children on Israel

http://www.pmw.org.il/

This site has posted numerous videos which show children as young as five singing about or acting out the distruction of the state of Israel.

Tiu cxi retejo montras videojn pere de Youtube, kiujn montras infanojn tiom juna kiel 5, kantante kaj ludante pri la malapero de Israelo.

In this one a Mickey-mouse like character, Farfour, is killed by an Israeli (while the puppet is defending its land rights.

En tiu-cxi Miki-mus-simila karaktero, Farfour, estas mortigata de Israelano (dum la pupo protektas land-rajtojn de palestinanoj).

Portuguese Karaoke

Having lived in Brazil for a year and having listened to Bossa Nova for several more years, I was happy to find a site that specializes in Portuguese lyrics and music:
