Speaking of Ramadan, I was having an interesting conversation about Ramadan with our butcher, Suleiman, over at SuperDeal in Baka.

Special Offer — Repeat of the Orange Deal for the Muslim month of Ramadan — Jews can get it on the deal too, if they act now! (Ramadan started yesterday).

(I’m still checking). Note: It can take up to an hour to receive the SMS from Orange…I guess this post is working to ensure everyone can take advantage of the Ramadan offer 
I have personally validated this!
Don’t thank me, I’m a giver….
