Fun Fact

I have been using the Springfield Greene County Library's new language program, Mango (found at thelibrary.org), to work on my conversational Hebrew. They include cultural facts within the lessons, which are very interactive by the way. One of the facts was that in 1903 they attempted to establish the state of Israel within Uganda, Africa. Of course, that was rejected and the independent state of Israel was founded in 1948.

  1. That is a nice bit of trivia. I think a historical re envisioning of that scenario playing out would be rather interesting.
