Um... hi!
Yerushalmi is your friendly neighborhood oleh chadash living in Jerusalem with his beautiful wife, who thinks this whole geohashing thing is ridiculous but humors him with it because it's a way to get him out of the house. It took him over seven months, but he finally got himself a GPS and can hash some of those pesky field, forest, and desert hashes that keep landing just outside the Jerusalem city limits.
He is an editor and translator working on the main exhibit opening next year at the Israel Museum.
He is also starting to believe that the algorithm hates him personally. His home city of Jerusalem, Israel, is 125.156 square kilometers in area and has not had a single hashpoint fall out within the city limits since he first joined in March. His old home city of Teaneck, New Jersey, is 16.19 square kilometers in area and has had FOUR hashpoints land in it during that time. Something's not right!

The Israeli Geohasher's Theme Song
קום והתהלך בארץ
בתרמיל ובמקל,
וודאי תפגוש בדרך
שוב את ארץ ישראל.
יחבקו אותך דרכיה
של הארץ הטובה,
היא תקרא אותך אליה
כמו אל ערש אהבה.
זאת אכן אותה הארץ.
זו אותה האדמה
ואותה פיסת הסלע
הנצרבת בחמה.
ומתחת לאספלט
לבניני הראוה,
מסתתרת המולדת
בישנית וענוה.
קום והתהלך בארץ
בתרמיל ובמקל,
וודאי תפגוש בדרך
שוב את ארץ ישראל.
יחבקו אותך דרכיה
של הארץ הטובה,
היא תקרא אותך אליה
כמו אל ערש אהבה.
וכרמי עצי הזית
ומסתור המעין,
עוד שומרים על חלומה
וחלומנו הישן.
וגגות אודמים על הר
וילדים על השבילים.
במקום שבו הלכנו
עם חגור ותרמילים.
