If you ever want to see me get all choked up, all you need to do is bring me to a landing at Ben-Gurion airport of a Nefesh B'Nefesh flight. The lump I get in my throat when seeing Jews come home to Israel is a reaction to witnessing the words of the Tanach come true, the ingathering of the exiles to a sovereign Israel.
I'm therefore, very happy to wish a huge welcome home to AirTime and Veev from the AirTime blog...and to Aliya06 from Baka Diary...and to Emah S from EmahS who just made aliya to Israel this week.
May you have a speedy and easy absorbtion into Israeli life, and may you never lose the excitement and thrill of being able to live you life here.
And if you need help with anyone, just tell them you're friends with Jameel :-)
(or email me)
Welcome Home & Shabbat Shalom!
Jameel
Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael
