Wow, what an incredible response for the iIsrael Video Competition. We received lots of entries from friends all across North America. They've made us laugh, cry and even yearn for schnitzel; the creativity was incredible. And, while we'd love to see many more, the entry period is now closed.

We're combing through the entries, counting all the shares and views, and working with our judges (Bar Refaeli and Ambassador Ron Dermer, among them) to find our winners. Stay tuned to our Facebook page in the coming weeks to watch our favorites, and see who wins. www.facebook.com/israelinusa

Thanks again to everyone for participating
