Another year has gone by, and I'm thrilled to celebrate my aliyanniversary.
Sweet 16!
January 15th, 1991.
I wrote this rather sappy piece last year.
While I still believe everything I wrote there, I was on the verge of my oldest son's Bar Mitzva and in wistful mood.
Yet, to be honest, I am very fortunate to be here, happy with my life, and even with all the difficulties that the State may throw at us, we're still living the dream.
And for that, I owe alot of Hakarat HaTov.
(ok, now you can go back and think about leftover cholent below)

Happy Anniversary! 16 years! My brother just celebated 2 years.
I just can't bring myself to look at that cholent closeup. Shudder.
Happy Aliyanniversary! And last year's piece was beautiful- not at all overly sappy. It was a milestone in your life.
The force will be with you...always.
Your 'sappy post' was so...
well... 'sappy'.. and special
I don't think I've ever read particularly -about people's feelings towards Eretz Yisrael.. especially those that have made Aliyah.. and I must say your post lit a spark within..
Thanks for sharing your memories.. a year ago.. and again today
Funny.
I'm still waiting to see pictures from the airport party to see if I was or wasn't there to greet you.
Another year, and still no answer.
happy anniversary!
:)

Well, I had too look up Aliyah on Wikipedia but now I know, happy Aliyanniversary, Jameel!
Long time no visit -- is that some new artwork I see at the top of the page?
I thought of you when I read about a computer game called "Global Conflicts: Palestine". http://www.seriousgames.dk/gc.html
According to the magazine I am reading, the game's maker says you can play the game from "a pro-Palestinian angle, a balanced angle or a pro-Israeli angle," whatever that means...
mazal tov!!!
