And it's one-two-three what are we fighting for... Next stop is Vietnam. We are now on vav, the sixth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In classical Hebrew, this was waw and pronounced like a W. However, with many 20th century Israelis coming from European countries that do not have that sound, the letter became a V (but is still used as a W in transliterations). Let's go to one of our favorite Indochinese places- Viet Noodle Bar at 3221 Pico Boulevard in Santa Monica. RSVP to Kedem Har-Shalom at kedem524@yahoo.com or (805) 330-1731 if you plan on coming.
