E-Tone ® - Special Edition
Ulpan-Or Hebrew Weekly News Digest

 
 

Dear friends,

Our interactive newspaper E-Tone® is on its Sukkot vacation, however due to the circumstances related to the release of a video
tape of our captured soldier Gilad Shalit, we have decided to publish a special E-Tone® issue dedicated to Gilad Shalit. 

This special issue has not been processed for lower levels of Hebrew as usual.

Below you will find the Hebrew text of Gilad's message followed by the English translation.

Please access the video tape recording with English subtitles here.

Hello,

I am Gilad – son of Noam and Aviva Shalit, brother of Hadas and Yoel, who lives in Mitzpe Hilla.
My ID number is 300097029. Today in Monday September 14th, 2009.

As you can see I am holding in my hand the newspaper "Palestine" from today – September 14th, 2009, which is published in Gaza. I am reading the newspaper with the purpose of finding information about myself and I hope to find some information that will announce my release from captivity in a short while.

I have been hoping and waiting a long time for the day I would be released. I am hoping that the current government headed by Binyamin Netanyahu will not waste the opportunity now to reach conclusion in the deal, and as a result I will be able at last to fulfill my dream and be released.

I want to send greetings to my family and tell them that I love them and miss them very much and I have been longing for the day that I would meet them again.
Dad, Yoel and Hadas – do you remember the day that you came to visit me in my Army base in Ramat HaGolan on December 31st, 2005, which if I am not mistaken is called "Revayah Bet"?

We had a trip around the base and you took photos of me on the Merkava tank and on one of the old tanks at the entrance to the base.
Then we drove to a restaurant in one of the Druze villages and on the way we took pictures in front of the snowy mountain of Hermon.

I want to tell you that I feel well in terms of my physical health and that Mujahadin of Aza adin El Quassam are treating me very well. Thank you very much and Goodbye.
