You know one of the best things about Israeli Independence Day? Stores finally sell Israeli flags! This is important to me, personally, because it means that after months of growing embarrassment, we replaced our flag at last. Seriously, the wonderful rain-heralding wind shredded our poor flag down to two inches of stripes. No star left at all. Now we have a beautiful, non-mortifying, complete Israeli flag flying from our porch once more. Whew!
