Historical Geography - Number Three

Thou didst set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be shaken. Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the sound of thy thunder they took to flight. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou didst appoint for them. Psalm 104: 5-8

Jordan River Expedition - Cyprus stop

We will be stopping at Cyprus towards the end of our Jordan River Expedition. I found these pictures on the internet of Cyprus, so we need to find out if these really are pictures of Cyprus as an objective for our stop in Cyprus.

Incorrect Purim Greeting Card

I picked this Purim greeting card becasue the basket was very good, but the star on the front of the basket means it's fronted (stars have to either be on top or circle around). I don't know what 'freilicher' is, and have no idea what the wish bone is for, either.
