Answer: The word "good" is used to describe Tuesday (the 3rd day) twice in the Bible. So what's something good that's happening around the 🌍 today? We'll start. Eilat and the Dead Sea are reopening as special tourist destinations under strict #coronavirus regulations.

It's about the two-for-one deal for pita bread at the local bakeries. Or as they say in Dutch: "twee halen, een betalen" ;)

Every day is 2 for 1 pita in Israel!

Maybe from a biblical perspective because Tuesday is the ONLY day that GOD described as "good", not once, but twice. "HASHEM  called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters He called Seas. And HASHEM  saw that this was good..." (Genesis 1:10-13). 💜🇮🇱

In the Torah (Bible) depiction of the Creation of the world, the phrase "and G-d saw that it was good" appears twice on the third day, Tuesday. The concept, פעמיים כי-טוב (twice good) is part of Jewish culture. Thus, there is a tradition to celebrate weddings on Tuesdays.

Because you get 2 falafels instead of only one 😁

Because it says 'tov, Good' twice.
