Seraphic Picture of the Week

Here’s a wonderful 1944 picture of a stiff-lipped British officer, swagger stick in hand, natch, inspecting some fresh-faced recruits of the Jewish Brigade. A rare and lovely picture from pre-state Israel.

Comment Rules

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

  1. No profanity.
  2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

    Way better than Paul Newman!
    To be victorious in the long run you need a tradition of fighting, you need myths and martyrs’ haloes — otherwise national character will fall into decay.
