SuperRaizy said...: Please tell me this was Photoshopped.
Shaul B said...: No WAY!
Either it's photoshopped or it's a practical joke.
Mrs. Belogski said...: I don't think it was photoshopped because someone else sent me a photo of it from a different angle! Linked to Facebook somehow
Shy Guy said...: Why the surprise? Everyone knew his nose was circumcised.
Ben-Yehudah said...: B"H

No way. Where did you see this? Or is just photoshopped?
Anonymous said...: ppl, it ain't that hard to make up such a sign yourself, and put some background behind it
weilone said...: Just funny. Kul hakavod to the guy who made the sign printed it on a laser printer and taped it to a tree in Israel.
What it really shows is that we need to add a "J" letter to the Hebrew alphabet. Perhaps a backward Gimmel.
Rafi G. said...: the J letter is commonly made in modern Hebrew by a gimmel with a ' after it - like ג'ורא would say Jora (slang for sewage in mdern hebrew)

in real Hebrew I think a gimmel with a dot in it (dagesh) is the J sound
Robertcw72 said...: For those of us who lack Hebrew Skills can someone translate?
Rafi G. said...: it is a death announcement for Michael Jackson
Anonymous said...: Rafi - in real Hebrew I think a gimmel with a dot in it (dagesh) is the J sound

Are you saying that the way the Temanim pronounce it is "real" Hebrew? :-)

And why did they translate Jackson as Jacobson?

Mark
Rafi G. said...: Mark -
1. yes
2. don't know. was wondering that too. figured it was a mistake. maybe they wanted to make the name sound more jewish to fit the notice
