Most of the named stars we are familiar with were named by Arab astronomers, so their names are in Arabic, another Semitic Hebrew cousin language!.............................

So the field for pun makers is wide open...

That's the simple point. :)

"The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few."

The narrow way involves the lowest form of humor. After all, when Jacob was dubbed Israel, he called that place "Peniel".

Then the next thing is that the sun rose upon "Penuel", which of course is some kind of odd name switch-a-roo that attracts experts like a magnet.

If you want to see God and live to tell the tale, you have to camp out in Puniel, or Punuel as it were:

Matthew 13

44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Remember that gal?

She had a price on her head!

$1.98 -- basically pocket change, or the loose change in the couch.

Bargains galore if you know where to look.

Inflation!

Oops, I neglected to link the place named for the face of God, Paniel.

Could you just imagine the madness and mayhem, should it turn out that something got lost in translation, reading?

Dreadful!

Esau was determined to slay Jacob... or that if Saul found out that Samuel was headed on over to Jesse's house, he'd kill him!

There wouldn't be enough rocks and caves for those suddenly seeking shelter.

That's the kind of cataclysm that would really bring down the house.


prepared for the golden EIB microphone, crying,


, Father.

Excellence in broadcasting!

Because, there's

Something good in everything I see:

ABBA I Have A Dream

It's like the midrash about Jacob's little grandaughter Serach, gently singing and playing her harp to inform him that Joseph was still alive. The brothers had to think up a clever scheme to break the good news to their father -- delicately, otherwise he'd die of a heart attack.

I searched, in order to bring Serach's sweet song up-to-date:

The Mashiach is alive
And living in Galut
He has two parents
Ya'akov and Rut.

That was a great link! A lotta loot:

The film stars Dr Tim Hunt, 2001 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Wow, can you believe that scandal? Well look at the bright side -- it would have been much much worse if his name were Mike.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_shaming#Tim_Hunt_controversy

The man was attacked based on his own observations and research, because talk about being over the target, dropping a proverbial carpet bomb:

"In 1990, he began work at Imperial Cancer Research Fund, later known as the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, in the United Kingdom, where his work focused on understanding on what makes cell go cancerous, that is: proliferate uncontrollably, with the ordinary inhibitory signals switched off."

♪ ♫Changing from bad to good is as easy as taking your first step. ♫ ♪

That's right, because reversing the bad (e.g. cancer, online shaming) is as easy as taking that first step in the opposite direction ("Don't be the rule be the exception!"). It's even a [key]board game:

BAD in reverse is DAB.

E is one step up from D.
Z is one step down from A.
SPACE is below B.

B really high up. No crowds. ;)

No wonder nothing ever gets solved. EZ matches the Hebrew keyboard letters kuf zayin [קז], which is a spelling for gauze (deriving from Aramaic for silk, silk-weaving), and also a transliteration of "cause".

One bandage strip at a time. Matches right up.

(All of the letters hover above space. No need to be a Kabbalist to see that. EZ!)

When translating Hebrew 'names' the process is purely phonetic, back and forth. I found my name in the Torah via this process. I knew it was me because my name backed through the word Torah. Backed up, L to R as opposed to R to L. That's me!

By switching the stress to the first syllable, a capitol city becomes "beer": בירה

Or not every beer is really beer. I'll Root for the home team, in any case!

Ah, beer, Beer Shiva, Seven Wells, wells, where you go to get a beer...

As Springsteen sang in Glory Days Well I think I'm going down to the well tonight And I'm going to drink till I get my fill...

Another link... The Harp...

Tehillim 49:5 I will incline mine ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

ה אַטֶּה לְמָשָׁל אָזְנִי; אֶפְתַּח בְּכִנּוֹר, חִידָתִי.

כִּנּוֹר kinnôwr, kin-nore'; from a unused root meaning to twang; a harp:—harp.

The Sea of Galilee also called Lake Tiberias, Kinneret or Kinnereth, is a freshwater lake in Israel. It is the lowest freshwater lake ...

Matthew 13:1 That same day Yeshua went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it (upon the harp), while all the people stood on the shore.

John 6:1 Some time after this, Yeshua crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. 3 Then Yeshua went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Festival was near.

Hey! A beer and a harp, and I've got a couple of Guinness in the fridge. [only for English Premier Football]

And it echos on and on and...

Priceless, thanks! LOL (Purim code 707 upside down).

There's even have a "draught" of [drinking like a] fish on the label.

Yeah what about that year, 17 + 59..

It's a veritable spirit of...76.

Drink!

2 Kings 10:27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.

Ooops. Kind of like a good word for Mordecai is a bad word for Haman.
