Today, we sent Yehuda off to school with an amazing cake that Josh made for Huda’s 7th birthday. It was of an Israeli soccer shirt, and Yehuda was so excited to show it to his friends at school. Josh makes incredible cakes for the kids for their birthdays, but they are really time consuming. Therefore,… Read More Birthday Sentimentality
Today, I’m bursting with pride for my kids. Matan and Yehuda (click on the middle of the pictures above and below to see the videos) are in a karate class, and the teacher put together a karate-a-thon. The goal was to get sponsors and to raise money for the people of Sderot, who have endured… Read More Kicks for Sderot!
Last week, we learned that the war in Gaza was over, at least for the time being. This meant, to me, that our boys would be coming home. Those outside of Israel hear about the war in so many different ways than we do. To us, the war is incredibly personal. I really couldn’t write… Read More They’re Back
I was doing something quickly on the computer today while the boys were playing in the next room. When I finished, I came to make sure that they weren’t swinging from the chandeliers, and found Azriel looking like this! Eliav was very proud of his work.

Today is the anniversary of when my childhood friend, Donna, died. It’s been 22 years and I still think of her and her family every January 20th and every August 18th, which was her birthday. It’s amazing how certain events in our lives make such an impact and stick with us forever. Probably for the… Read More January 20th, Every Year
The other night, Azriel and I were lying in bed together before he fell asleep. He was looking directly into my eyes, and I into his, and the world stopped for a brief moment. At that moment, I saw the entire world in his eyes. He spoke his life to me, his hopes, his dreams,… Read More In His Eyes
I haven’t written since the war started because I don’t know exactly what to say. I haven’t written because I don’t want to sit in front of the computer screen crying. I haven’t written because I don’t want to scare those of you reading this from far away. I haven’t written because I don’t really… Read More Why I Haven’t Written
Only in this country can a visit to the aquarium become a Zionist experience. We’ve been here for over four years now, and I still marvel at the way things are done here and the magic of this place. We went to Eilat this week for Hanukah. Eilat is the “place to be” over Hanukah… Read More The Aquarium – a Zionist Experience
Chanukah is just around the corner and the kids are starting to pour in with Chanukah items, as always. I have to say that the dreidel – that little item that you spin and play a game with – is one of the greatest examples of our Aliyah and of the Zionist dream realized. Come… Read More A Great Miracle Happened HERE!
