Nu, kama kesef?

August 14, 2007 - 4:12 PM by Avi

Ever wonder how much you should give as a gift for your co-workers wedding, or your cousin’s birthday party? Well, an Israeli website now calculates for you exactly how much you are expected to give. KamaKesef (how much money?) is a pricelist for guests of events. In Hebrew, this site is extremely Jewish. Why? Three reasons:

  1. Instead of “submit” the submit button is “Nu, kama kesef?) (Nu — is there really a translation for this? — , how much money?)
  2. One of the options for occupation is “Rothschild” a.k.a. really, really rich – a common expression in Israel, named for the famous Rothschild banking family.
  3. The final price is given not only in its exact calculation but also in “Chai” – increments of 18, because writing out “18″ in Hebrew (?”?) spells “life.”

Only in Israel!
