136.0. "Jerusalem here" by JEREMY::ADY (Ady Lifshes) Tue Jun 03 1986 03:54

I'm awed to be entering the first note from Jerusalem in so many years.
I'm from the rumored but never yet confirmed VLSI design center. We've
been in operation for 8 months now, so I felt it was high time I 
participated and let you know of our existence.

Feel free to ask for further info.

Greetings to the marvelous kehila

    What's Kehila?
136.2LOGIC::DESMARAISMore editorial balloon juice...Tue Jun 03 1986 09:364
I've often thought that Maynard was the "Hub of the Universe," but Ady is 
writing from the _real_ thing.  Welcome aboard!!

     Kehila is the Hebrew word for Congregation.

    Kehila can also mean community.  In Europe, it sometimes referred
    to the surprisingly autonomous Jewish "municipal government."
136.5The intended meaningJEREMY::ADYAdy LifshesTue Jun 03 1986 17:497
Apparently Kehila has multiple meanings. I just meant brothers, sisters,
present and future noters of this conference. 

As for Jerusalem displacing Maynard as the hub, in the era of redundancy it's
good to have two of everything :-)

136.6Tell us more...IOSG::LEVYThu Jun 05 1986 07:3412
    Hi Andy,
     
    I'm very interested to know about DEC in Israel. As a 
    starter can you tell us more of the VLSI centre?
    How many people are there? Is it located in Jerusalem?
    Are you hardware and software orientated?
    
    It's good to hear from you. Wouldn't it be great if
    Bagels could have a get together in Jerusalem.

    If this conference moved to JEREMY::, would it be renamed LACHMANIYOT?

    Shalom Ady, how come you no write...? 
136.9trivia on bagelsTAV02::LEVIFri Jun 06 1986 10:2311
    Greetings, Ady.  From Herzlia to [home of BAGELS...somewhere USA]
    to Jerusalem.
    
    BAGELS would be 'bagele' and not lachmaniot.
    [Goldman...where is my hebrew editor?]
    Lachmaniot is better translated as rolls.
    
    Amazing and mundane, almost unholy, as it may seem, there is a bagels
    store not far away from the Jaffa Gate in the old city.  When I
    first came to work here and we had an exhibition in Jerusalem, some
    oldtimers from the DEC office took me to this place (shrine).
136.10I know that place!NONODE::CHERSONImagination tires before natureFri Jun 06 1986 11:154
    re: -1
    
    I know that store very well, although their bagels (gret sesame!)
    are more along the line of Bialys.
136.11Where else ?CARLIN::MAHLERMichaelFri Jun 06 1986 11:5414



	Set Mode FYI



	BAGELS is in Stow, Massachusetts.


	Center of the Universe.


136.12A bagel is n o t a baiga'leGRDIAN::HOFFMANSat Jun 07 1986 20:5312

Just to set the record straight - the American bagel (even the
best, like those from Pick-A-Chick in Brookline) is nothing like
the Israeli Baigale.

Trying to describe a baigale to someone who has not experienced
it first hand, is like trying to define "red" to a person born
blind :-).

136.13movin' right along with the issuesTAV02::GOLDMANSun Jun 08 1986 05:2818
re. Jerusalem

I too have entered notes from Jerusalem and was also in awe - awe 
that my wife stayed off the phone long enough for me to dial in!

    
re. Bagels (the food kind)

In addition to the aforementioned, indescribable Israeli bagels,
there are a few places that make a closer, but second rate,
imitation of the NYC variety.  I have, on occasion, brought a few
packages of these to some bagel-starved expatriates in Valbonne. 

    
re. Levi & your Hebrew editor

It's right here on our system - and that's where it's gonna stay!
(for now)
136.14couldn't resist...TAV02::NITSANNitsan Duvdevani, Digital IsraelSun Jun 08 1986 07:561
Ady - do they let you smoke in your new place the way you did near me here? :-)
136.152 proposals and 1 bagel&loxTAV02::LEVIMon Jun 09 1986 11:2115
    For those of you who are not TAVniks and do not know that we are
    a bit cramped for room, I wish to propose that note 136 be a meeting
    spot.  Presently we use the stairwells for 'yeshivot' (meetings)
    really 'amidot' (~standings~).   I believe this forum will
    give us some more breathing room.   Thanks Ady (and the disk spinning
    somewhere in Stow, Massachusetts) for creating this note.
    
    About the bagels,,,you guys are right, I prefer bagels and lox with
    the NY Times on a Sunday morning to the Israeli 'baigele'.
    
    BTW - Nitsan, Ady, Aron, Haim, David, whoever else tuning in (Herzlia,
    Jerusalem or anywhere else) -- Seems that many of the previous notes
    tend to drift into the Israel-galut topic.   Any one (who can spend the
    time) volunteer to moderate such a discussion?
                                                  
136.16Maybe me?NONODE::CHERSONImagination tires before natureMon Jun 09 1986 11:438
    re:-1
    
    Yes, I'd like to do moderate the discussion, but I may not be a
    good candidate because I may lose my sense of objectivity along
    the way; also, I won't have the time until the middle of the week
    (taking a hafsekah right now).

136.17Who we areJEREMY::ADYAdy LifshesTue Jun 10 1986 08:4415
RE: .6

To get back to the original topic (somewhat late), we're located in the
Talpiot Industrial Zone in Jerusalem. We're an extension of SEG, Hudson -
remote design center, to use SEG terminology - and as the name implies we're
designing new VLSI chips for the corporation.

We're a mixture of hardware people (circuit design and layout) and
software people coding the on-chip processor(s).

Pls mail if you need more specific information.

Regards

 Ady
136.18That's my surname!JOCKEY::KEHELAThu Jun 12 1986 07:089
  At long last I have found the meaning of my Hebrew/Iraqi surname.
  The name Kehela may look slightly different but it is pronounced
  in the same way as Kehila.
  
  As far as I know we're the only Kehela's around, but if there's
  anyone else out there by the same name please get in touch -
  we're probably related!   
  
  Ruth Kehela.
