...Opening with a Gregorian chant of the “Our Father” and church bells, the song has boundless potential, but abruptly changes into a spiritual pop opus with its haunting combination of Christian prayer, Arabic words, and Hebrew chanting. While the topic’s ambition is commendable, the song lacks the power of Madonna’s similarly-themed “Like a Prayer.” Shakira, who pens her own lyrics, excels with English lines such as “And if you wrote the script/then why the troublemakers?” Despite...
...accused of singing about Kabbalah founder Isaac Ben Luria, which violates Jewish law. (She maintains that the title actually refers to guest vocalist Isaac Sinwany.) Regardless of to whom the song refers, it’s the only track on the record with a Kabbalist influence.

Ariel Sharon is nicknamed the Bulldozer. The Israeli Prime Minister showed why last week. He reshaped the political landscape by ditching his right-wing Likud Party--which he helped found in 1973--and forming a new centrist bloc called Kadima (Hebrew for forward).

I have had them translated and neither of them supports his false allegation that I tried to suppress the free speech of Israeli pilots. The truth is, that I have repeatedly defended the right of Israeli pilots to publicize their disagreement with...
...Israel. The show, the first of 11 on the band’s North American campus tour, marked HSI’s first “cultural event” of the year, according to Amy M. Zelcer ’07, its president. Known also by their Hebrew name, Shotei Hanevua, the Fools, who are Israeli, performed for a crowd of about 250, ranging in age from 15 to more than 50. “When most people think about Israel, they focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” Zelcer said at the event...
