Moshe Heinemann: A matzah that is completely white on both sides should not be used, since it may not have been thoroughly baked. Matzah meal should be slightly brown in color, which indicates a better bake on the matzos that were used for the matzah meal.
WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.

"You recommend this."
"Do you still dare to speak for Sephardim and promise them an honorable living? Only the path of our moderate and enlightened Sephardic forefathers, which combines Torah with creativity and working for a living, will bring salvation to the public that groans under the poverty that you and your comrades have brought upon U.S." ~ MK Rabbi Haim Amsallem

King Solomon's Letter to the Queen of Sheba
King Solomon: Peace be with you, O Queen of Sheba, and peace be with all your people! Know that G-d appointed me King over many lands and peoples. He made me sovereign over all the beasts and the animals, over the fish, the birds and the insects. Therefore, I promise you that if you will come and pay me homage I will honor you and raise you above all the sovereigns under my rule. But, should you not obey me, then be forewarned that I will send against you my mighty legions, who will grind you and your kingdom to dust! Should you ask what are those mighty legions of which I speak — know then: that the birds in the sky are my cavalry and the animals of the earth are my infantry. At my command, they will descend upon your land and annihilate you and your people, for against them you can find no protection.
Queen of Sheba: And thus speaks the Queen of Sheba! The span of a seven years' journey lies between my country, Kittor, and the land of Israel; but, in order that I may hear your great wisdom from your own lips, I am starting out immediately on the long journey to Jerusalem. Be assured I will neither rest nor spare any effort to make the seven years' journey in only three years, for so great is my eagerness to see you!

Sephardic vs. Filipinit
"On June 22, Charice Pempengco herself confirmed that she will join the cast of the hit US television series Glee on its second season. As a recurring character, she will reportedly play a foreign exchange student from the Philippines with astounding vocals who will present serious competition against lead character Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele)."

Honorable Menschin'
Props to Correspondent, Farrah Fidler for the Honorable Mention in the illest Heeb Hop collective based outside of Israel, namely Shemspeed, whose roster of artists and events are first-rate.
Oh the joys of social media. Whenever I see something that came out years ago, I always wonder why didn’t I see that? But I’m still really happy that Filipino-Jewish poet Eliyahu Enriquez posted this video on his blog. The video is a clip from the full-length documentary Naf - A Street Kid, which can be found here.
Also, Matthue Roth expresses his flattery for the poem dedication in the same blog breath as Patrick A. aka Punk Torah of the band Can Can:
And, also under the heading of people whose company I am humbled to be in: Eliyahu Enriquez, whose poetry continues to slay me every time he gets on a stage, shouts me out in a new poem
I've all ready included "Ontological Anarchy" in the final draft of Mad Kamp (I'm waiting until the very last minute to complete my latest deadline and submit it to The Publisher). Here's the text and accompanying spec:
Ontological Anarchy
For Matthue Roth and Naftali Yawitz
When Elijah prayed
You sent fire
And charged him
To care
For a widow and orphan.
What I got was asylum.
I got angry,
Despised my roots,
So I became orphaned.
In every generation
Since the Temple's destruction
Prophets go unemployed.
We just don't get —
What we deserve.
On behalf of Rain
(My perpetual pup)
I will cease
To believe in Weathermen.
Farrah happens to also be one of the featured Performance Poets in Taglit Birthright-Monologues. Here's a video I captured of her spoken word skillz, in promotion of the touring memoirs from Israel:

Chibi Vision's Love Child: Props from Matthue
Review of Shemspeed Artist, Benyamin Brody and his debut album, Shir Ha Shirim
Update [5/2/09]:
I've been in a season of honoring invitations, so I attended Matthue's show @ the Bronfman Center. Shemspeed Artist, Y-Love was in the Hillel House, undoubtedly stoked for the coming week, tweeting the gig (he and his escort's boots were quite intimidating and trend-setting, in a subversively innovative way).
Matthue's set, in front of a largely NYU audience - who took a time out from preparing for Finals to support him - was noticably charged, best described as Trench Mouth, based on my sphere of the contentious universe recently.
Itta graciously accepted 100 shekalim for Matthue's Yom Kippur a go-go. The accompanying autograph by Matthue was doubly astonishing, like Elisha's supernatural exploits: "To Eliyahu - who makes Judaism alive and G✡d electric." Shavua tov, firebrands.

Ode to Shir Ha'Shirim
Shir Ha Shirim, Debut Album Review
Recorded by Benyamin Brody, Diwon & Dugans (Modular Moods/Shemspeed)
א Shir HaShirim, the Song of Songs, which is Benyamin Brody.
ב Let him kiss our agitation, for his voice is Shabbath respite.
ג Because of your invocation, I forget my names, therefore he will be remembered.
ד The soulful cantor avows with ambience, hypnotic dexterity, an invitation for steel mountains to sway.
ה Olive trees undress, the color of his jealousy; as Solomon's sundial, we await your mantle blessing.
ו They made you the keeper of concrete vineyards, a wise pigeon hovering over Shamayim, achi.
ז When K'ruvim who guard his medicine cabinet scatter, I will memorize the breath of footsteps, hornless rams captivated by Sepideh Vahidi, Susie Ibarra and Bei Bei, shrouded in rice terraces; savants have a shepherd, from now on, a melodious mystery.
ח Brooklyn-Goshen quivers.
ט Intsik Mestizos retrace exilic tracks, chapter by chapter, vertabrae to vertabrae, from Shanghai ghettos to Mizoram labyrinths, memorializing Silk Road comforters with Yosef's tears.
י B'nei Keturah to the east will adorn your neck with Sampaguitas and ginger stems, strung in Hebrew.
יא They've salvaged bamboo antiquities, being expert at philosophical simplicity, bearing the martial ark of folklore — Jew's Harps and scrapmetal serenades.
יב Benyamin has prepared our royal banquet beds, so that we may forget the wilderness.
יג The beams of his eyes are Moroccan constellations; ha'aretz, a comely red.
יד Your companions, Diwon and Dugans, are desert consolation, a symphony of synths: cause me to draw milk, net strands, the absence of speech.
טו And Kodesh Kodashim accepts; columns of shotgun mist embrace, midnight mysticism.
טז Never let go.
