Kesher Talk

Oh little town of Beit Lehem. I mentioned the by-now-familiar parade (or would charade be a better word?) of "Israel the Grinch steals Christmas" stories - Lynn shows us the set-up. Interesting data on Christian emigration from the birthplace of Jesus and its causes. (Beit Lehem - trans. "house of bread" - is the original Hebrew name for the town, which shows up in several narratives in the Tanakh, beginning with the death of Rachel.)
