The only time Shakespeare uses the word “Israel,” it’s in connection with Jephthah (for a post on Jephthah, q.v.).

O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou! (II.ii.400)

I mention it because I will be travelling to Jerusalem next week, and I’ll be staying there for a month.

I’ll have plenty of time to meet Jephthah.

But I’ll have less time to post to this blog. I will attempt to make some posts, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks!
