Meeting of the minds...

Iraqi Jews sitting outside the Iraqi synagogue in Jerusalem speaking Arabic! Amazing!
I try to imagine what they might have gone through to reach the holy land. Much easier today! You just have to want it and Hashem will pave the way!

While the hurricane struck New York...

...I was at the beach. You could be here too! The land wants you here!

Visiting King David at Ein Gedi...

Booker tov from the overlook of Jerico

I prayed here this morning. It's about as close as I can get, as a Jew, to seeing the biblical city. We, the Jewish people have work to do. 

We should merit the day when we listen to this weeks Torah portion and ״ואבדם את שמם מן המקום ההוא״ "there names should be removed from that place" and then we will merit the promise of "וישבתם בטח" "you will live securely". We need to populate these hills and valleys! It's time to come home!

A Shul in a supermarket

It doesn't get more "only in Israel" than that!

Only in Israel

A typical evening from my home

Beautiful moon and the city of Jericho in the valley. Lyla tov from the Holy Land!

Waiting for the bus...

Not exactly Jewel Avenue...

Hitching a ride with the delivery truck!

...With exchanges of divery Torah. I love this country!

The land where even the fruits are Holier...
