the holiday was once more way to short and now we are starting into a new year...but again all the same school stuff. I don'T know why but every year school is becoming more and more boring and exhausting as well. The only good stuff ...meeting friends and talking during the lessons (*smiling*)...So then..have fun or better make fun ?!... KISSES Michaela

I bet you all heard about the Israeli prime minister... I mean, I'm sure you know he is struggling for his own life... And, I just wanted to wish him a quick recovery... I hope he'll get well real soon... I hope everything will get better soon...

Anyway, I wish you all a good night and sweetest dreams, love you so much and keep on wishing for a second camp... Don't let us down...

Yours,
Lihi.

Gabi macht einen Ausflug

Zehn Tage nach seiner Geburt hat Gabi, das erste asiatische Elefantenbaby in
Israel, das mit Hilfe künstlicher Befruchtung gezeugt wurde, am Dienstag
(20.12.) im Gelände des Biblischen Zoos in Jerusalem einen ersten Ausflug
gemacht. Im Zoo hatte man entschieden, den jungen Elefanten "Gabi" zu
nennen, nach Gabi Askar, dem Veterinär des Zoos, der das Projekt der
künstlichen Befruchtung initiiert hatte. Er ist im vergangenen Jahr bei
einem Autounfall tödlich verunglückt.
Gabi wurde mit einem Gewicht von 89 Kilo geboren und mit jedem Tag nimmt er
ein Kilo zu. Täglich erhält er von seiner Mutter Tamar, die ihn säugt, 15
Liter Milch. Voraussichtlich wird er zwei Jahre lang gesäugt werden. Seit
seiner Geburt konnte Gabi nicht mehr gewogen werden, da er sich weigert, auf
die Waage zu steigen. Seit der Installierung von Webcams im Elefantenhaus,
mit denen man die Geburt Gabis verfolgen wollte, gab es mehr als 300.000
Besuche auf der Internetseite des Zoos http://www.jerusalemzoo.org.il.

Gabi is going on excursion

10 days after his birth following artificial insemination baby-elephant Gabi went on his first excursion on the grounds of the Bible-zoo of Jerusalem. He was called Gabi in memory of Gabi Askar, the veterinarian of the zoo, who had initiated the insemination project and who was killed last year in a car accident.

At his birth Gabi's weight was 89 kilos; he is putting on one kilo each day. His mom Tamar gives him 15 liters of milk each day and will probably feed him for two years. As Gabi refuses to step on the scales, his weight could not be checked again since his birth. Since the installation of webcams in the elephants' house, which allowed to watch his birth more than 300.000 people have visited the zoo's internet-site http://www.jerusalemzoo.org.il

Translated into English by Evelyn
