Nahr al-Barad

http://www.israelforum.com/board/showthread.php?t=7330 In 2002, James Walsh, former American officer in the 70s with the National Security Agency, who was in charge with intercepting Arafat’s phone calls, contacted me after I published an extended article on Arafat in the US media. Walsh was still obsessed by a never deciphered phone call between Arafat and one of his deputies, Abu Jihad. “Terminate Nahr al-Barad,” was the order. The mystery was then solved: Nahr al-Barad was the code-name for the PLO operation to kidnap Ambassador Cleo A. Noel Jr.

Bharat

Bharata, sometimes Bhāratavarsha (Bhārat or Bharatvarsha in Hindi) is the name in Sanskrit and many languages of India for northern India. The Hindi form is also an official name of the Republic of India, and possibly the earliest name given to the nation. (Article 1 of the Constitution of India - 'India that is Bharat shall be a Union of States.'). In Sanskrit, it is pronounced as /bhα: rətə/ while in Hindi as /bhα: rət/.

BARID. Official in charge of intelligence and newsgathering. The barid-i-mumalik was the head of the central office, and his agents sent in reports from all over the country. This system was of great importance in controlling local governments.

Another important independent kingdom was the Bahmani sultanate in the Deccan which lasted from 1347 to 1527. For a little less than a century and a half (1347–1482) it prospered until it extended from the western to the eastern coasts of South India. Ultimately it broke into five principalities—the Adil Shahis of Bijapur (1490–1686), the Nizam Shahis of Ahmadnagar (1480–1633), the Imad Shahis of Berar (1490–1568), the Barid Shahis of Bidar (1480–1609), and the Qutb Shahis of Golkunda (1512–1687).

The rulers of these Deccan kingdoms attracted scholars, poets, and statesmen from Persia and Iraq, but local talent was employed to a much larger extent than was the case at Delhi. At one time the principal ministers at Bijapur were Hindu, and the Maratha chief, Shahji of Ahmadnagar, the father of Shivaji, occupied a distinguished position in the army. In linguistic matters also there was closer collaboration between the Hindus and the Muslims. Marathi was the language used for village records, and the rulers helped the development of the Deccani variety of Hindustani. They themselves composed verses in that language and encouraged others, and it was no accident that although Hindustani appeared in northern India in the very beginning of the Muslim rule, it was the Deccani idiom that first attained literary status.

Rabbi Jacob Berab (5234-5301; 1474-1541)

Rabbi Jacob ben Rabbi Moshe Berab was one of the greatest Torah scholars of his time, over 400 years ago. He is particularly famous for his attempt to renew the "Semicha" (special Rabbinical ordination)-but about that a little later.

"Berab" is an added name, an honorary title bestowed on select Torah scholars.

Rock Music is the son of industrial and modern communities. A style which its presence could not be denied in Iran as well. We always searched for a kind of Rock Music which was initiated from the heart of our own society and not just imported from the western world. By using folk melodies and traditional basements, Barad tried to blend its music with such an idea. An experience which is making its primary steps.

Barada The Barada (Arabic بردى) (Greek Chrysorrhoas: golden stream) is the main river of Damascus, the capital city of Syria. It flows from the spring of `Ayn Fijah (عين فجة), about 27 km north west of Damascus in the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. The Barada descends through a steep, narrow gorge before it arrives at Damascus, where it divides into seven branches that irrigate the oasis of Ghuta (الغوطة). The 'Barada' name is thought to derive from 'barid', ie 'cold'

The poetically entitled ‘hailstone coffee’ or café barad in Hebrew, a sweet coffee-slush for grown-ups. A local variety of the famed frappuccino, but without the pretension, it is available at every two-bit city street-corner kiosk with room for a revolving slush machine on its counter. In the hot, humid Tel Aviv summer café barad is a supremely tempting product, though in these days of global warming, the barad season can last all the way from March to November. Frappuccino

A place in the Negeb mentioned in the story of Hagar (Genesis 16:14). The well Beer-lahai-roi was "between Kadesh and Bered." The Onkelos Targum renders it Chaghra', which is the usual equivalent of Shur, while the Jerusalem Targum renders it Chalutsah, which is also Shur (Exodus 15:22). Chalutsah is clearly the city of Elusu mentioned by Ptolemy and from the 4th to the 7th centuries by various ecclesiastical writers. It was an important town on the road from Palestine to Kadesh and Mount Sinai. This is without doubt the very large and important ruin Kh. Khalasa, some 70 miles South of Jerusalem on the road from Beersheba and Rehoboth. "These ruins cover an area of 15 to 20 acres, throughout which the foundations and enclosures of houses are distinctly to be traced. .... We judged that here there must have been a city with room enough for a population of 15,000 to 20,000 souls" (Robinson, BR, I, 201).
