actually my birthday; it's merely the nearest

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.

He is an editor and translator working on the main exhibit opening next year at the Israel Museum.

He's also still waiting for a geohash to land within the Jerusalem city limits. It's supposed to happen on average every two months, and he started geohashing way back in March and still no luck...

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.
