    Either it's photoshopped or it's a practical joke.

  3. I don't think it was photoshopped because someone else sent me a photo of it from a different angle! Linked to Facebook somehow

  6. ppl, it ain't that hard to make up such a sign yourself, and put some background behind it

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  11. 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?
