Muqata Kids Invade America

While Jews continue to flock to Israel -- ascending to Israel from around the world, the Muqata kids left in the opposite direction...

This was one of the quietest Shabbatot I can recall in ages (well, at home), as the Mrs. @ I enjoyed a quieter than usual shabbat with fewer kids. The older Muqata kids decided to venture out an "Amazing Trip" of their own -- and using my hard-earned frequent flier points, are visiting the US.

The airline referred to them as "Unaccompanied Minors" -- and they left us behind to check out America and see if their English is as up to par as they like to think. (Maybe we should have taught them Spanish?)

Without any proteczia from the Mrs. or myself, they sweet-talked their way into the cockpit for a photo-op with the pilots during the flight. (twice!)

I'm sure you all see the family resemblence...

Of course, they had to make friends will the air crew as well; how else to ensure an unlimited supply for drinks and food?


I guess the flight was too long, even for the Muqata kids, and they were climbing the walls when the plane landed. In fact -- missing the Kotel, Muqata child #1 scaled this wall instead.

But this one really threw them...Hummers in our neighborhood are all green, dusty and bulletproofed. This silly black one doesn't have ANY of those features. What a waste.



That's it -- enough of their vacation. As the Muqata kids continue to spread the message of love for Israel throughout the United States, we'll return tomorrow with more of our regularly scheduled blog programming.

Oh, and don't even bother trying to ID these kids around the US -- they have strict instructions not to reveal even the slightest bit of incriminating evidence as to their family's secret identity or location. I tested them before they left -- words like "Jameel" and "Muqata" don't even make them raise an eyebrow...or smirk.

Then again, they probably just roll their eyes at my hobby, and try to ignore it as much as possible.


Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael
