Though Israel is now my home, I’m proud of my roots in LA, the entertainment capital of the world.
 
How do you say entertainment in Hebrew? בִּדּוּר (bee-DOOR).
 
The word is the noun form of the verb לְבַדֵּר (le-vah-DEHR), which means, to entertain.
 
Here’s a video that is מְבַדֵּר (me-vah-DEHR – entertaining) for all ages (especially really young ones). Brings back memories for me… I dedicate it to my brother Danny.
