yes, a contestant on the israeli married at first sight says she is descended from the maharal of prague, and yes this silly israeli gossip instagram account said that means she is the "niece" of the golem

In what is definitely the beginning of a horror movie someone gave my uncle a medieval kabbalistic spell book , Raziel Hamalakh, and he’s sending it to me so I can find out more about this copy. This book was used in a recent Israeli TV show to literally summon demons. It was nice knowing you.

Seriously impressed by our librarians who searched for monthsfor this 2016 Italian documentary about a gender segregated beach in northern Italy and finally found a used copy and well now the only known copy in North America is currently in my office. (There are English subtitles) Movie night?

The Israeli news is reporting about a six year old who swallowed a hamsa (they got it out, he's fine) and I am laughing so hard at this x ray

One the silliest things about this season in Israel is that that journalists ask celebrities from who they need to ask for forgiveness for Yom Kippur. Ahad Haam would be so proud.
