Cheesebatron or Cheezbatron Explanation: The story of the צ'יזבטרון in Hebrew: http://mooma.mako.co.il/Article.asp?GroupID=1912&itemID=7863... http://mooma.mako.co.il/Article.asp?GroupID=1912&itemID=7863... השם 'צ'יזבטרון' שילב בין המילים 'צ'יזבט', כלומר סיפור משעשע, ו'רון' כלומר שיר as they say 'ron' is a song while 'צ'יזבט ' means a concoction (an Arabic word). Defintion from the Even Shoshan dictionary. צִ'יזְבָּט ח (ז') [מערבית מדוברת: צִ'דְ'בּ = כִּדְ'בּ כזב, ובריבוי: צִ'דְ'בַּאתּ; בלשון הנוער והחיילים] כָּזָב, סִפּוּר בַּדִּים, סִפּוּר שֶׁאֱמֶת וְדִבְרֵי גֻּזְמָאוֹת וְכָזָב מְעֹרָבִים בּוֹ: "נִכְסֹף לְהָפִיג מְצוּקַת בְּדִידוּתֵנוּ בְּשִׂיחַת רֵעִים וּבִשְׁמִיעַת זִכְרוֹנוֹת וְצִ'יזְבָּטִים" (בר יוסף, בני 71). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2010-04-13 04:43:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Chizbatron is another way of spelling it, as Boostrer. Just like Bercovici in Romanian became suddenly Bertowitz in the USA. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 53 mins (2010-04-13 05:12:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1366898508178112716 - says it's Cheezbatron. Probably it's the correct English spelling. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-04-13 06:27:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Berkowitz* - typo! |

Reference: Chizbatron Reference information: The origins of the IDF's military bands begin with the troupe called "Mi Ein Ze" ('From Where is That'), which entertained the Jewish soldiers of the Jewish Brigade during the Second World War. That band was succeeded by the "Chizbatron" troupe of the Palmach, which existed during the period of the War of Independence.
