If you are one of the brothers and sisters of the Hebrew nation and you have not yet visited your homeland Israel yet, then I recommend to you to get off of your ass and stop making excuses and get yourself over there. There are so many more positive reasons to go there than there are reasons not to go. If you have been to Israel already,well then these photos of Israeli army hotties will hopefully bring to you some fond memories, and hopefully provide you with a reason to go back.
The moment you arrive to the State of Israel, either at the airport or at a terminal, one of the first things that you will certainly notice is the amount of people there are in uniform, doing functions of one sort or another. What will certainly stand out from the many uniformed Israeli personnel, will be the raw, sexy beauty of the young Israeli women in those uniforms. Wherever you go in Israel, you will see what I call, Israeli Army hotties.
If you are a fan of Israeli women and of Jewish women and surf then you must have come across the photographic work of Rachel Papo. Rachel is an Israeli who was born in 1970 in America, but was raised in Israel. According to her bio, “she began photographing as a teenager and attended a renowned fine-arts high-school in Haifa, Israel. At age eighteen she served in the Israeli Air Force as a photographer.” Her reasons for her photo series was because “These two intensive years of service inspired her current photographic project titled after her own number during service — Serial No. 3817131.”
She earned a BFA in Fine Arts from Ohio State University in Columbus (1991-96), and an MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City (2002-05). She began photographing Israeli female soldiers in the summer of 2004 as part of her masters thesis project. She continues to photograph in both Israel and New York, pursuing fine art photography and accepting commissioned projects. Her photographs are included in several public and private collections. She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Do you speak Hebrew?”
The captain of a Syrian Air Force transport flying over the Mediterranean sends out a MAYDAY message: “This is Syrian Air Force # 174 announcing we have lost one engine and want to land at any airport in the Middle East OTHER than Israel!”
No answer.
A while later he announces, “This is Syrian Air Force # 174 again. We have now lost two engines and need to land at any airport in the Middle East OTHER than Israel!”
Silence.
A short while later the captain announces, “This is Syrian Air Force #174. We are desperate. We have now lost THREE engines an urgently ask permission to land at any airport in the Middle East OTHER than Israel!”
Still no answer.
Finally the captain calls out, “Help! This is Syrian Air Force #174. We have only one engine left and it is rapidly failing. Unless we can land we are going to crash. We need permission to land at ANY airport in the Middle East INCLUDING Israel!”
Shortly thereafter, a voice is heard in the Syrian cockpit: “Shalom Syrian Air Force # 174. This is Tel Aviv approach control. We would like to help. “
“Allah is praised,” says the Syrian pilot. “Please give me instructions.”
“Do you speak Hebrew?”
“No”
“Ok, then please repeat after me: Yitgadal Viyitkadash Shimay Rabbah…… ya ben zona”
For the last two thousand years, the tattoo has been universally recognized as a sign of shame to the Tribes of Israel and for thousands of years a symbol of everything that is vapid, corrupt and finite about the Gentile world.
Jewish Mayhem Online Magazine
In our holy Torah, in sefer Leviticus (Vayikra) 19:28, it is explicitly written that Jews are not allowed tattoos. Why tattoos are forbidden to Jews exactly is not explained anywhere else in the Torah but the topic is elaborated on in numerous locations in the Talmud, which only compound the gravity of violating this prohibition.
The Levitical prohibition is a non-sensical prohibition in the sense that we do not know why the Creator forbid us from getting tattoos because it is not explained explicitly like in the cases of other laws mentioned. We are able to deduce notions as to the Creator’s reasons, such as that it is an abomination or that it is what the Canaanite nations did in those Biblical times and we had to be different from them, but we do not have a specific, simple explanation. In leu of this law’s simplicity, it is completely fair and proper to deduce and to state that tattoos are utterly and completely not Jewish, or Judaic or Hebraic in any sense or capacity based on the ultimate Jewish source, the Torah.
There have been a few instances in Jewish history and culture that we know of when multitudes of Judaeans were tattooed in such numbers as they are today, but in stark contrast to today’s phenomenon which is by choice, every other time in Jewish history, Judaeans were forcefully tattooed en masse by Gentiles as sign of shame and a marking of a slave or as a prisoner of war or of a concentration camp. What the Austrians and the Germans did in World War II, was not the first time that Judaeans were hunted down, murdered or gathered up brutally, chained up and shipped off as captives or slaves, and then eventually tattooed. The Romans tattooed designations onto slaves, gladiators and soldiers [1] as a matter of regular practice in the Roman Empire until until around 325 CE, and when Judaea was wiped off of the map by Vespasian and Titus in 135 CE., hundreds of thousands of our great-great-great-X50 grand parents were led off by the Romans in chains into slavery and tattooed with markings to identify the Judaean slaves from the non-Judaean slaves for a Judaean slave was only worth a horse in value.
For the last two thousand years, the tattoo has been universally recognized as a sign of shame to the Tribes of Israel and for thousands of years a symbol of everything that is vapid, corrupt and finite about the Gentile world. In sharp contrast to our past, today we have tens of thousands of Jews around the world getting tattooed with every kind of image under the sun for every reason under the sun and the irony is that so many of them are getting tattoos of Jewish pride style imagery and of Biblical verses, it is simply astounding. This change in behavior and mentality all happened in a span of less than one hundred years.
The people of the book have become the people of the tattoo flash book.
Jews have assimilated so much into the Gentile world in the last couple of century that the origins of modern, electric tattooing has a Jew by the name of Lew Alberts to thank for it’s evolution and it’s course, ironically. Lew was directly responsible for introducing a wealth of new types of tattoo designs into the variety of tattoo styles and designs that were available such as the black panther for example, at the turn of the century.
Miami Ink
Today on television we see another Jew involved in the tattooing world helping shape it, and his name is Ami James, who is the star of his own hit reality TV series called Miami Ink. When the Miami Ink television show was first aired it became an instant and total success across the world. It was one of TLC’s most highly watched shows attracting between 5-6 million viewers a week and continues to air in syndication worldwide. TLC also capitalized on the success of the show with a Miami Ink Clothing Line and many lucrative licensing deals.
Ami immediately comes across as a pushy, edgy tough guy with a short fuse of a temper and if he didn’t mention that he was Jewish or Israeli, you’d probably never know it based on anything that you see. Ami is a very good artist, a very good tattoo artist and he has a head for business as well which is rare among artists. He wears no visible Chais around his neck, he has no magen davids tattooed on his elbows, he does not have an overt Yiddish or Hebrew accent, and his mannerisms belay nothing Judaic or Israeli. In other words he looks like a Goy, acts like a Goy, but since his mother is Jewish, he’s a Jew, but you’d never know it using the “You Look Jewish Test.” But don’t immediately assume that just because he seems so sanitized of his Jewishness or his Israeliness on the TV show that he is not proud to be a Jew or to be Israeli, because he is in his own way. Since actions speak louder than words, Ami already has proven his care for Am Yisrael, when Ami was eighteen he left America and joined the IDF when he did not have too, where he trained and served as a fighter, putting his life on the line to defend Jews in the Jewish State.
Is Ami James a Jew or an Israel to admire? That is for you to decide.
This is a video of a candid interview of Ami James done in NYC .
1. Jones, C.P. “Stigma”: tattooing and branding in Graeco-Roman Antiquity, Journal of Roman Studies, 1987, 77, 139-55: facial stigma represented extreme social degredation.
“Albany” Lou Samberg, cousin to SNL’s Adam Samberg, is a hard working young Hebrew from New York State, who likes to bust out rhymes about his life and what’s important to him to the sound of hip hop beats.
JM: Who are the Jews in your family?
AL:Both Mother and Father are 100% Jewish. My Fathers last name is Samberg and my mother’s mother was Cohen. I had a crash-course Bar Mitzvah when I turned 13. I never did understand the tradition of tossing candy at the Bar Mitzvah Boy. My Father recalls me chucking it right back at people HARD…lol
JM: How do you define yourself? A rapper? A hip hop artist? Producer? AL: A rapper, entertainer, dogman, father, businessman. I havn’t realy dabbled in production aspect of Hip Hop. I believe I could do it, but I’m more about the verbal expression.
JM: Where did your “name” come from?
AL: Growing up in Albany NY, people knew me as Lou/Louie/Casino/White Lou/Lou the Jew/Snozz/Boss. The name Albany Lou came about when I started going out of town to get money. It was then that I started advertising my game-bred pitbulls in various dog magazines under the alias “Albany Lou”. When I began taking the music seriously, it was natural for me to keep that name.
JM: Are you signed to any labels? AL: I have not signed any papers at this point though I have had offers from some smaller labels. I’m a little uncomfortable with signing anything besides autographs. I am lucky that my cousin is an entertainment Lawyer that can help.
JM: How many CD’S/Albums have you released so far? AL: 3 released and one on the way SOON. I have only one actual album at this point. I feel the mixtape route is a much better way to accumulate a buzz. Once I’m in the public eye a bit more then I’ll start droppin more albums.
1. DEAD GAME(the album)
2.DEAD GAME vol 2 hosted by the mix-king DJ Life
3 Back in the box
4 comin soon
JM: Who were your biggest musical influences when you started? AL: I started listening to hip hop when the west was real popular (Snoop, Dre, Ice Cube, Cypress hill etc. Then came Wu, Biggie, Mobb Deep, Outkast, Big Pun, Twista, Jay Z, Dmx, The Lox, Eminem, etc. It would be hard to say which artist influenced me the most though.
JM: Whose music influences you today? AL: Honestly, the people around me that I grew up with are all worthy Mc’s and they probably shape me more than anyone else. We all kind of build off each other, although at this point they dont realy persue the music the way I do. As of lately, the rappers outside my circle that I listen to are Necro and ill bill, I’m feelin that new Hellraiser and Shabazz album, but not a lot of rap I hear inspires me the way it used to.
JM: Where did you grow up, where were you raised and where is home for you? AL: I was born in Chinatown (NYC) but my family moved to long island a couple years later. My mother and I went through some really tough times and tough years. I stayed with my grandfather for a couple of years and then moved to Albany myself. Albany is definately my home. I’ve been here since I was ten and I know everyone.
JM: Is Tupac really alive? AL: Josh your a jerk(smile).
JM: Whose music rubs you the wrong way? AL: I don’t really ever get rubbed the wrong way by music, even when maybe it should at times. I’m a little mad at Eminem for not putting on another talented white rapper. Em, we are out here and yes we had it hard too!
JM: How did you get to where you are now? What were the big breaks and events? AL: Haha, I’m still lookin for that big break.
JM: Has there been anyone who has mentored or really helped you along the way? AL: I have great support through friends and family, but my answer has to be no. I do it mostly on my own even when they say it’s not possible!
JM: When did you first start getting into the performance side of music? AL: When I was eleven, three of my friends and I performed Bobby brown’s “Get away” in the school lip sink contest., after that it was house party. I think performing is somthing that has always been in my blood.
JM: Who do you hang out with, anyone noteworthy? AL: My 1st Cousin Andy Samberg is real popular on SNL. I’m also close with DJ Life (Blockburners/streetsweepers/BLACKFOOT ENT. He’s like Albany’s Kayslay and his name is known heavy in NY, and in Jersey.
JM: What song has had the biggest impact on you personally? AL: What song of mine? I would say my Dead Game song because of the creativity that went into makin it and because of the effect that it had on other people. It gave me my original fan base.
JM: What do you write about in your songs?
AL: Life in general. I’m not the type of artist that sticks to the script. No one is one-dimensional. If I feel happy then I make a happy song and if Im angry it also shows in my music.
JM: What bothers you about the music business? AL: The same thing that bothers me about Life. Not enough loyalty, too much ego, and very little truth. Plus, its’ all about a buck. Deserving artists that make real authentic music are the ones who should be reaping the benefits.
JM: How has being a Jew or in other less popular words, has having Jewish blood in your veins made a difference in your life? AL: It’s made all the difference in many ways and yet no difference at all in others. First of all, let me say that I did not grow up around Jews. My mother and I celebrated Hanukah every year. When I was young I used to get into fights because I was constantely ridiculed for being Jewish but I was always proud. I was never afraid to stand up for myself the same way my grandfathers did when they were alive. I also got a lot of love from certain people. My friends often said “Lou ain’t white, he’s Jewish.” When I was young that phenomenon made me feel accepted.
JM: Is being a Jew important to you? Please explain. AL: Absolutely. Although I am not religious, being Jewish is a big part of my identity.I wouldn’t want to be anything else. A part of me feels very special to be a part of something so ancient and strong!
JM: What do you do for beats? AL: My brother Legacy from the Dead Game video, he also produced the track, and my dawg Damian. Both childhood friends and both great producers. Other than that I jack other peoples beats for my mixtapes.
JM: Do you play any instruments? AL: No, but I can sing.
JM: What is your favorite city? AL: Vegas is the shit, NYC is mind blowin, Atlanta is beautiful, Beacon is quaint, but Id have to say I’m the most at home in Albany.
JM: Have you been to Israel? AL: I had the opportunity to go when I was younger but I was so rapped up in my own chaotic life to accept the offer. Now i regret it. I do plan to go one day as I have family in Israel.
JM: Do you know what tribe you are from? Levi, Judah?
All I know is my grandmother was a Cohen.My family came from Russia, Lithuania, and poland to the united states in early 1900.
JM: Do you pay attention to what is going on with Israel?
To be truthful I hardly watch American news or Tv at all for that matter.I am behind my people 100%, though,I would really like to visit Israel and see it for myself.
JM: What’s coming up for you?
Well I sent Necro my Cd i havnt heard back fro him yet.i kinda want o do a song or two with phsycological.im supposed to be touring with Gym class heroes next summer. Right now its about sellin cds and tryin to get more shows
JM: What’s your favorite piece of musical equipment? AL: Microphone hands down.
JM: Which one of your songs do you like the most and why? AL: Their are so many that I love but iI would have to say Only Human, because it was from the heart. I listen to it for inspiration and it reminds me that I can do, it if he can do it. I also like Electricity, its the opposite of Only Human, but somehow has the same effect.
JM:Have you been in the media yet, and if so, how so? AL: Well right now The PETA people are on my ass.
JM: Are you a spiritual or religious person? AL: Definitely spiritual, not religious, for some reason I only pray when I’m High though (4:20).
JM: Where can people buy your music? AL: http://MYSPACE.COM/ALBANYLOU I have a paypal. Other than that, come to Albany and I’ll sell you one personally.
JM: Who made your videos? AL: I made every single one! I must say that for the limated resources I have they came out Damn good. All I have is a digital camera SRAIGHT RAW !
JM: Any shoutouts? AL: First of all JEWISH MAYHEM MAGAZINE!!! Second of all my Mother (the strongest woman alive!) my Father, my Son who is my everything and my Fiancé, and of course everyone that I consider family!! .
