Mazel tov in Icelandic is Til Hamingju
How d’you know that, mate?
I speak a little Icelandic. Fiancée is Icelandic, plays violin with Icelandic Symphony
Haha! mazal tov = til hamingju 🙂
Ad mea ve’esrim! (the next one for you to learn)
120 seems like a good number. Wonder why this is the default age for wishing long life?
Moses died at 120.
Bit confused here. Neither Iceland nor Israel is in the EU. Are you saying that people from different countries *are* actually able to travel and work in other countries, even if those nations don’t subscribe to the Common Agriculture Policy or have red passports? Surely not. I understood from previous posts that any travel or commerce between nations was utterly, irrevocably impossible without EU membership.
Is that a step up?
There small emigration to Israel and none from former USSR. It’s hard to fill vacancy in Israel orchestras today by musicians of Jewish origin.
I am guessing you accept that there are Israeli’s who are not Jewish, who could also legitimately be hired by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.
