Erev Shabbat Atop Yerushalayim

At the kotel now

A view of Yerushalayim at sunset

Is there a better reason to make Aliyah???

"Ashrecha Yisrael Mi Kamocha"

Pictures didnt come out so good but here's the story: When we were at the kotel, there was a group of Muslim clerics and their wives also there visiting from the UK. Israel welcomes everyone, even their hostile enemies, to come and visit, pray, take pictures and even protest at their holy sites. At the same time if I would go to my holy sites in my land that are temporarily controlled by my "peace loving" cousins, I would likely be ripped to shreds at the enterance. Praisworthy are you Israel that you are bigger than your enemies!

Here is a video of our flight landing in Israel!! We hope all of you will have this amazing merit!

I am back and in the Holy Land!!

I have neglected this blog for months now but I hope to be on top of it from here on in. We made Aliyah yesterday. I will restart the blog with a video I took when I was in Israel in February on my pilot trip. Here is our sweet friend Chaim Dovid with a message to Jews around the world....

Busy Busy Busy...

Went to get my marriage licence certified by the apostille (whatever that is). 3 different offices in lower manhattan in  the cold rain. Then went to the Jewish Agency and met our shaliach. Now we have to wait for approval.

Also planning my pilot trip which is a full time job in its self. Hope to blog more when things calm down (if they ever do)
