• Saturday, a day which will live in infamy, Israel lost the hummus title to its enemy to the north. [Ynet]
• A profile of the Israeli company Teva, the world’s biggest maker of generic drugs. The owner describes it thusly: “We’re kibbutzniks.” [NYT]
• The YamulKap. Pretty self-explanatory, really. [YamulKap]
• An epic takedown of Harold Bloom’s review of Anthony Julius’s book on British anti-Semitism. [Jewcy]
• The volcanic ash has officially reached Israel, and has even disrupted a few flights! Wait, why does this seem vaguely exciting? [Arutz Sheva]
• MTV is throwing a massive party in Israel this summer. In addition to Israeli pop stars, Pink (who is Jewish!) and Jay-Z (who is not!) will perform. [Ynet]
Here’s Jay-Z killing it on this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live.
