1. In Heaven a spirit doth dwell
"Whose heart-strings are a lute";
None sing so wildly well
As the angel Israfel,
And the giddy stars (so legends tell),
Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell
Of his voice, all mute.
Tottering above
In her highest noon,
The enamored moon
Blushes with love,
While, to listen, the red levin
(With the rapid Pleiads, even,
Which were seven,)
Pauses in Heaven.
And they say (the starry choir
And the other listening things)
That Israfeli's fire
Is owing to that lyre
By which he sits and sings-
The trembling living wire
Of those unusual strings.
But the skies that angel trod,
Where deep thoughts are a duty-
Where Love's a grown-up God-
Where the Houri glances are
Imbued with all the beauty
Which we worship in a star.
Therefore thou art not wrong,
Israfeli, who despisest
An unimpassioned song;
To thee the laurels belong,
Best bard, because the wisest!
Merrily live, and long!
The ecstasies above
With thy burning measures suit-
Thy grief, thy joy, thy hate, thy love,
With the fervor of thy lute-
Well may the stars be mute!
Yes, Heaven is thine; but this
Is a world of sweets and sours;
Our flowers are merely- flowers,
And the shadow of thy perfect bliss
Is the sunshine of ours.
If I could dwell
Where Israfel
Hath dwelt, and he where I,
He might not sing so wildly well
A mortal melody,
While a bolder note than this might swell
From my lyre within the sky.

Get the Israfel mug.A phenomenon of pushing, shoving and cutting in line that may cause the inexperienced to feel that this may be the last bus, to anywhere, ever and that societal norms have ceased to be relevant. A feeling of dizziness, frustration and the beginnings of a rare psychological disorder may occur. This phenomenon happens regardless of how many people are in line or how empty the bus is. If one listens closley, the silent screams of non-Israelis can be heard as they are herded to the side of the line.
Alex, going for his first shabbat in Jerusalem, got to the Beer Sheva bus station early Friday morning and was happy to see that the platform for his bus was mostly empty. Relieved that his friends had been wrong about the Bus lines in Israel, Alex got in line and waited. When the bus arrived, Alex noticed an elderly woman coming towards him from the side. Alex thought to himself, "I'll offer to let her go on first." Without notice, she simply walked in front of him and then signalled to the rest of her family, laying in wait, to join her. Suddenly Alex felt himself being pushed to the floor as little kids kicked him out of the way to run onto the completely empty bus. As he tried to get up, the boots of soldiers, just let off base for the weekend trampled him and forced their way onto the bus. "Ugh! Fine I'll just wait for the next bus" thought Alex to himself. Afterall, it was only 8 in the morning and he had plenty of time to get to to Jerusalem. Alex never made it to Jerusalem for Shabbat.

The military of the country of Israel. They consist of the ground forces, airforce, and navy. The IDF is also known as one of the most modern and elite military forces in the middle east/ mediterranean area. The IDF is unique in that it has a large amount of female service people and it has a very close relationship between the ground forces, airforce, and navy. The technologies used by the IDF are mainly American, but they do use many native weapons, like the Uzi, Tavor assault rifle, galil assault rifle, Negev light machine gun, and jericho pistol. The airforce uses both american f16s and f4s, as well as european fighters. The airforce also use the american blackhawk and huey helicopters as well as the apache longbow attack chopper.
Ground forces use many american technologies as well, such as the Humvee, m4 carbine, barret m82 .50 cal, and other small arms. However, the IDF has made use of different Israeli-made armored vehicles and the merkava tank, internationally recognized as one of the most formidable and modern tanks on earth.
Israel has been a close ally of the US for years, due to their constant economic trade and America's military supply of the IDF. The IDF's current enemies of greatest threat are the terrorist group Hezbollah, the paramilitary group of gaza called Hamas, and many believe Iran as well due to their military aid of these terrorist factions.

Get the Israeled mug.A weird sexual practice.
Similar to the mexican lawnmower, with the main difference that you fill her ass with matzo balls and falafel before putting anal beads into her ass and leave it there for a few days. If you need lube, you should use hummus. These Matzo balls will increase the stimulation and help constipating the ass. For the next few days, you feed her with tacos and very spicy food, usually mexican, but it can also be asian. After a few days, you just rip out the anal beads and she will release a metric fucktonne of shit, falafel and matzo balls. Then, you can enjoy some specially spiced, warm, delicious falafel and matzo balls. Mmmmh.
