Jerusalem is filled with surprises. A 15 minute walk from my house

Silence is the maturation of wisdom.

The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it

There are eight rungs in charity. The highest is when you help a man to help himself.

Maimonides

Another world just 15 minutes from my home by foot

The Beatles Lyrics Play "When I'm Sixty Fo…"


on Apple Music "When I'm Sixty Four"

When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four?

You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four?

Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck and Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away
Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine forevermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me
When I'm sixty four?
Ho!



Play "When I'm Sixty Fo…"
on Apple Music Writer(s): J. Lennon, P. Mccartney
This song was the first one recorded for the album. The music for this song was written by Paul McCartney when he was about 15 or 16 years old. The Quarrymen (the previous name of The Beatles) played it on piano during their performance at Cavern Club. The lyrics were written later in 1966, and some say that it's not a coincidence that McCartney's father turned 64 earlier that year. Paul McCartney wanted to have a clarinet in this song, although it's very unusual to hear it in a rock song. He said, "George helped me on a clarinet arrangement. I would specify the sound and I love clarinets so 'Could we have a clarinet quartet?' 'Absolutely.' I'd give him a fairly good idea of what I wanted and George would score it because I couldn't do that." Lennon said of this song, "Paul wrote it in the Cavern days. We just stuck a few more words on it like 'grandchildren on your knee' and 'Vera, Chuck and Dave'... this was just one that was quite a hit with us."

TAKE-HOME DRAFT BEER' TAKES JERUSALEM

"I don't know why no one else opened a place like this in Jerusalem before now," ponders Yuri Volman, one of the partners of Beer Market in the Mahaneh Yehuda market. BY DOUG GREENER 

The concept is not a new one. It's been in cities around the world for several years, and even in some Israeli cities since 2017. But it's just arrived for the first time in Jerusalem.

We're talking about draft beer you can take-away and drink at home, or wherever else you want to. Yes, the same draft beer that you drink from a tap in your neighborhood bar or restaurant.

"I don't know why no one else opened a place like this in Jerusalem before now," ponders Yuri Volman, one of the partners of Beer Market in the Mahaneh Yehuda market (3 HeCharuv Street), which opened two months ago. "I and my partner, Alex Lobanov, thought that the time was right to bring this idea to Jerusalem. There are a large number of tourists in this city who want especially to try Israeli craft beers. Jerusalemites, too, appreciate Israeli craft beers more than other cities. Now they can bring the beer home fresh from the tap."

It works like this: Beer Market has three sizes of clean, empty, brown plastic bottles – half-liter, liter, and liter-and-a-half. You pick the size you want and one of the 15 beers on tap. The taps were custom-made in Russia and include a special apparatus for filling bottles. The opening is sealed tight to keep air from touching the beer as it is filled, and to keep the amount of foam to a minimum. The bottle is then sealed with an airtight screw cap.

"The unopened draft beer will stay fresh for about a week in the refrigerator," explains Yuri. "After it's opened, you should finish it as soon as possible, since oxidation is a great enemy of beer."

The Beer Market charges NIS 25 for a half-liter, NIS 39 for the liter, and NIS 59 for the liter-and-a-half. You can also buy glasses of beer to drink there for the same prices, which are quite reasonable. A tasting "flight" of four different beers (each cup 150 milliliters) costs NIS 34.


There are draft beers from Ronen, Emek Ha'ela, Malka, Negev, Jem's, Buster's Hard Lemonade, and Shoshana (an "Israeli" beer brewed with mint in Belgium). There is also one rotating tap for special or seasonal beers, which currently holds Alexander's new Saison. You can also have liquors and cocktails at the bar. Light snacks such as nacho chips and edamame are available.

See you tomorrow bli neder
