The cake - Soccer Hachmonaim

I forgot to include a photo of Ilan's birthday that Liora creatively baked and found ingredients to decorate (please note that there is no ready-to-use baking goods like in the U.S).

From Ilan 3rd b'day

Since we are talking about Soccer, it was interesting watching last night on TV the World Championship qualifier game Israel vs. Greece that was held in Tel-Aviv. It was just funny to hear Israel vs. Yavan (Greece) in Hebrew given that I've always heard Greece in Hebrew when we talk about the Chanukah miracle and battles back in 165 BCE. 2174 years later we face each other and in 90 minutes we decide the winner, or not? The game ended 1 - 1 . Just an interesting point to ponder...no miracles involved this time during the encounter, however if we really think about it, it has been several miracles to get where we are...
