OK, you’re right, it’s about time we had a prize to give away, and here is the first of many as we ramp things up on the site. In celebration of Independence Day, which kicks off tomorrow evening, we’ve got a real, genuine slice of Israeli history to give you!
No, it’s not a chunk of the Western Wall. And no, it’s not a two year old felafel. What we have for you is a reprint of the New York Times on the day Israel’s independence was announced, back in 1948. The complete 32-page newspaper!
And to get your hands on this piece of history, all you have to do is add a comment below (make sure you enter your email address so we can contact you) OR head on over to our Facebook page (click here) and Like this post, the one about the prize (you have to Like the page before you can Like any posts). PLEASE NOTE: Liking this blog post will not enter you in the draw because we may not be connected and therefore I’ll have no way of knowing who you are. You have to Like the Facebook page and post.
As Amassador of Israel to the United States, Dr. Michael B. Oren, said “This newspaper is an incredible piece of history, and serves an important resource in documenting our history.”
The winner will be randomly selected using our Random Name Picker and announced on Independence Day (hangover permitting, so probably Wednesday!). We’ll then get in touch and post it to you. Don’t forget – if you’re not in it, you can’t win it!
Good luck!
