Moving to Israel is a personal decision that I made when I turned 13 and learned about the courageous fight for the re-establishment of the land of Israel. It was a battle fought in desperation by a nation that had longed for its homeland for almost 2,000 years. That many of these fighters had only recently survived Hitler's Final Solution made their battle and their victory even more special.
Today, moving to Israel, or aliyah as it is called, is so much easier than ever before. Once, centuries ago, the roads to our land were dangerous and now we fly here on the wings of eagles and the grace of El Al. Now we don't debate how to achieve statehood, how to build our land, but rather the fine points of the laws and rights of each new citizen. Each oleh, depending on the country from which he originates, receives a package of benefits to help him acclimate. It is one way that Israel works hard to ensure a successful aliyah.
In this section of my site, I hope to add articles about aliyah that I and others have written. Some of the articles will be posts that appear on the very successful and helpful Tachlis aliyah list. If you are considering moving to Israel, you should seriously consider joining this list!

A site about Israel, being Jewish and living in a world where things aren't always bright and shiny, but where there is always hope that tomorrow will be better.
This site is dedicated to the people who inspire me to stop what I am doing and write.
To my husband, to my children. To my parents and sister and brother, and their families. To my brothers-in-laws and sisters-in-law. | |
To the victims of terrorism over the last few years. | |
To the soldiers of Israel. | |
To mothers. | |
To the Jews who are no more, and to the Jews yet to be. | |
To those around the world who understand that the path to peace is not reached through violence, to my Arab friends and neighbors. | |
 | To my international friends and email pals... |
in short, this site is dedicated to those who have touched my life, and in so doing, have brought forth my words.
