Jerusalem Day! Sunday Mail: June 1, 2008

Posting a cartoon every weekday leaves no room for me to simply share news, ideas, and other stuff with you, so here's a Dry Bones feature called: 'Sunday Mail: Letters from Dry Bones'.

Monday is Jerusalem Day!
Jerusalem Day is celebrated every year on the 28th of the month of Iyar (in the Hebrew calendar). This year the holiday date falls on June 2. The first Jerusalem Day was celebrated on May 12 1968 to mark the first anniversary of the uniting of divided Jerusalem in 1967. Monday is the 40th Jerusalem Day ...and is an important part of the "Israel at 60" celebrations.

Hurry, hurry, Get your souvenirs!
Can you think of a better way to remember this year than to grab a couple of Official Dry Bones Commemorative souvenir Mugs? These mugs are a limited edition and will only be available until the end of 2008.

After that, you'll have to go to eBay and pay some outrageously inflated price. Right now these mugs are priced at only $19.95 each. They are large (a hefty, 15 oz.) ceramic mugs with big, comfortable easy-grip handles. They are dishwasher and microwave safe. If you don't get one now, you'll be kicking yourself next year. Click on the photo below for more info, to take a peek at the other side (which is even prettier), and perhaps to buy one.
