How do you say "my baloney" in Hebrew? Israel

Just to preface: I know very little Hebrew.

I recently learned, though, that you add the "i" at the end of the word to indicate that a noun is yours. (e.g. shalomi is my peace) However, what about the word baloney? I'm making the assumption that in Hebrew they use the same word, but if not, what about any word that ends in the "i" sound? Do you say baloney-i?

Also, when your describing a list of things you own. Say, you're calling an insurance company due to a fire and you mention all the things you lost "My refrigerator, stove, beds, clothes, tools, pets, etc." would you just say the "i" sound over and over and over again? It may sound quite repetitive.

Thank you! :-)

Looking for information to help my mother Israel

Hello /r/Israel.

I am hoping to find out some additional information for my mother. Here is the story:

My mother was a injured in the Zion Square bombing in 1975. At the time she was hospitalized for her wounds from the shrapnel. She had surgeries and was eventually discharged. Some years later she moved to the US and got on with her life. Now all these years later she is having pain in her face from apparent nerve damage and she went to have an MRI. It turns out she still has shrapnel (metal) in her face that could be the cause of her pain.

Is there any current program to help out victims of terror? Is there a time frame that the claim would have needed to be filed?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome story about working with Israeli engineers Israel

Imagine you're an executive in a big American company that makes home appliances. Your market research team suggests that people may want to have straight bananas, since Americans love to slice bananas up and put them in a sandwich or a cereal bowl, and straight bananas are easier to slice. You decide to try and solve this problem using both of your R&D teams. One is located in the US and the other in Israel. You call the two team leaders and tell them what you need - a machine that bends bananas backwards to straighten them up.

The American team leader says they will get right on it. The next morning he posts a job opening on Linkedin, looking for a banana expert. He hires a guy from CalTech who knows everything there is to know about the molecular structure of bananas. He also hires two more engineers and an industrial designer. Initially.

After around 24-30 months of hard work, you have a sleek, shiny new machine that bends bananas backwards and produces perfect, straight as an arrow bananas 100% of the time, with any kind of banana that currently exists. It costs about 300 dollars and needs as much power as a small refrigerator.

At the same time, the Israeli team leader listens to you for about 3 minutes then interrupts to say that this is a really stupid idea. He doesn't know anybody who slices bananas. Israelis just eat them. Although we usually do peel them first. He suggests you might want to build a machine that peels bananas. After a long, frustrating meeting you give up. But on his way home, the Israeli team leader thinks about what you asked him to do, and while he still thinks it's a stupid idea, he likes the challenge. The next morning he calls a couple of friends from the Kibuts who grow bananas and then he lets you know that his team will have a machine ready within a week.

After exactly 11 days the machine is indeed ready and a demonstration is scheduled. The machine is made out of spare parts of Uzi guns and costs 13$ to build. It also functions as an emergency torch. It looks like a scaled down model of a tractor accident. It also produces perfect, straight as an arrow bananas... in about 62.5% of the cases. 37% of the bananas are either broken, squashed or toasted beyond recognition. About half a percent of the bananas mysteriously disappear.

When you note these shortcomings to the Israeli team they look at you with complete puzzlement. The machine, they would tell you, does exactly what you asked for and the PRD never stated it has to do it to ALL the bananas you throw at it. Some bananas are obviously defective. Besides, it was a stupid idea to begin with.
