Dear all,

Thank you very much for supporting the book, the pre-orders campaign is going well. In my second update I am providing the proverbs that serve as sub-titles of the book's ten chapters. As you can see the book covers many aspects of the Israeli society, its history as well as general Jewish and life wisdom and observations.

Pls write back to me which narrative you would like to read in your next update. I will send the one that gets the most votes in my next update.

Ahlan - Welcome

Chapter 1 – True Grit  

All the beginnings are difficult 

If one starts to do a Mitzvah (a good deed) they tell him to finish it       

If I am not for myself who will be for me?          

Life is not a picnic        

The whole entire world is a narrow bridge and the essence is not to fear             

It was good and good that it was           

We got through Pharaoh we’ll get through this too        

Chapter 2 – Inspiration            

If you will - it is not a fairy tale or A strong will makes a fairy tale real     

There is nothing that stands in the way of will (or Nothing stands before will)      

With a little will and inspiration an elephant and a chicken can have intimate relations.        

Follow the ant, you lazy person, study its ways and become wise        

Chapter 3 – Israeli Facts of Life          

The most import thing is your health   

Whoever saves a soul, saves an entire world   

The words of the wise are heard in tranquillity 

The road to hell is paved with good intentions 

Life and death are at the power of the tongue  

Chapter 4 – Pearls of Wisdom             

The end result starts with the initial thought    

You cannot learn how to shave yourself on someone else’s beard       

Better to lose a moment of your life than your life in a moment             

He who invalidates another invalidates himself           

The shoemaker walks barefoot             

Beautiful from a far and far from beautiful       

With the food comes the appetite        

There is no wiser than the experienced             

Chapter 5 – Humour and Satire          

Laughter is good for your health           

I made a mistake, you made a mistake,            

When you are right you are not wrong 

What that was, was     

The end of the world to the left

You start at full speed and then slowly slowly accelerate         

Chapter 6 – Spontaneity and lack of Formality         

Every bastard is a king 

Eat and fornicate because tomorrow we will evaporate            

Deal with the problem at the right hour             

Chapter 7 – The Downside     

Attitude leads to attitude          

Who is wealthy? The person who is happy with his portion      

You caught a lot you didn't catch anything       

Chapter 8 – Business 

Respect him and suspect him 

If you do not do, you do not err

A solution looking for a problem           

Chapter 9 – Politics – the Fundamentals       

I don’t have another country    

Same lady, different clothes    

All of Israel are responsible for one another     

We do not leave a soldier behind          

The camel does not see its own hump

Whoever rises to kill you, rise early to kill him first       

The dogs bark and the convoy moves on           

Don’t be just - be clever            

Chapter 10 – Farewell

Short hits the aim, long is lame             

The fish stinks from its head    

The Nation of Israel is Alive
