    Before I go… Posted on June 5, 2016 by onyxandsand 6 am I woke up this morning determined. I pushed past the sleepiness, exhaustion, and anxiety and put on my workout clothes. I was not letting a beautiful 70 degree sunshine-filled day go to waste. I grabbed my new camera and set off into the calm and quiet morning. The streets were not yet bustling with late employees, so honking was at a minimum, I walked lengths upwards the usual trek to a monastery near my parents home. It’s a place I go to in order to receive the maximum amount of unity between nature and spirituality, two things I consider great treasures. The monastery is a convenient walk and my mom, sister, and I usually go whenever I used to live at home. But today, I went on my own to deal with my personal issues. I am leaving this country for the first time in my life, and to a place that isn’t necessarily the first you’d think of for a new traveller. Amman, Jordan is located right under Syria, beside Israel, and not too far from Egypt. And if you have been monitoring a screen the past year, the issue of ISIS persists and there are refugees flooding nearby countries in order to seek asylum. I know I am only going for an intensive Arabic immersion program, however, I know that with an opportunity like this there is mounting pressure on me to do above and beyond what I am actually going for.

  • Our Recent Midweek Meditations Have Focused on the Disciples of Jesus Christ After His Resurrection
    Our recent midweek meditations have focused on the disciples of Jesus Christ after his resurrection. We have reflected on what perhaps their thought would have been as they remember their friend Jesus. This gave us a reason, to look at some of the places where Jesus ministry took place. And so we had an opportunity to share pictures from a trip to Israel that a group from our community took several years ago. So far, in the context of these meditations you have seen about half of the places that we visited. So, I am going to use the next several Mid-week meditations to tell you the rest of the story. And so we get started along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In the south section of Tel Aviv is a place called Jaffa. In Biblical times it was called Joppa. Picture is the Joppa Harbor. Joppa is the oldest harbor in the world. In 1000 B.C. Solomon had the materials for his grand temple delivered to this harbor and then they were transferred over land to Jerusalem. Joppa also was a place that Jonah fled to as he avoided the call that was before him, which was to preach to the people of Nineveh. Also in Jaffa is a place called Peter’s Church which commemorates the fact that Peter came from Lydia to Joppa and when he arrived he raised Tabitha from the dead. The next stop on our tour is Caesarea by the sea. It is about 40 miles north of Jaffa along the coast of the Mediterranean.

  • Ambiguity Resolution in Lateralized Arabic
    Read Writ (2015) 28:395-418 DOI 10.1007/s11145-014-9530-3 Ambiguity resolution in lateralized Arabic Manar Hayadre · Dennis Kurzon · Orna Peleg · Eviatar Zohar Published online: 12 November 2014 © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract We examined ambiguity resolution in reading in Arabic. Arabic is an abjad orthography and is morphologically similar to Hebrew. However, Arabic literacy occurs in a diglossic context, and its orthography is more visually complex than Hebrew. We therefore tested to see whether hemispheric differences will be similar or different from previous findings in Hebrew. We also tested whether phonological recoding is a mandatory stage in reading Arabic. We used a divided visual field paradigm, where 32 participants performed semantic decisions on pairs of words in which the first word (presented centrally) was either a homophone (bank), heterophone (tear), or unambiguous. The second word was presented in the left, right, or central visual field. The results revealed larger effects of ambiguity for heterophones than for homophones in all conditions, and thus support the contention that phonological recoding is mandatory in reading Arabic. Hemispheric patterns were different from those found with Hebrew, and were similar in the peripheral visual fields, which can be interpreted as indicating a single processor, with the pattern indicating that this processor is the LH. The alternative hypothesis is that interhemispheric integration occurs in all conditions. The implications of these results for reading in Arabic are discussed.

Yardenit provides pilgrims and tourists with modern comforts in the biblical setting of the Holy Land, offering a serene and spiritual setting for those wishing to baptize in the River Jordan. “In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven; ‘Thou art my beloved Son, with thee I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:9-11). Visitors to Yardenit are greeted by this very verse from Mark’s account of the baptism of Jesus in over 80 languages and depicted in hand painted tiles.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.
