I find that I am too shy to do this, and personally I think that I relate to Anglos better (after 15 years here and living in a mostly Israeli yishuv my Hebrew is good - but not perfect).westbankmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175250198028829889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1134848774742621782005-12-17T21:46:00.000+02:002005-12-17T21:46:00.000+02:00MCAryeh: Well, when you are ready to come, just le...MCAryeh: Well, when you are ready to come, just let me know, and I'll do whatever I can to help.<BR/><BR/>The smartest thing I ever did was making aliya the secod I finished school.

I always find it so daunting to read how low that generation fell. What hope is there for us then?<BR/><BR/>I would love to live in Eretz Yisrael. In some ways, I have never left there. It was smart of you to go right after college. At this stage, for me, there are too many things to keep me in the U.S, right now - family, parnassa issues, and single hood.

I ...I love what you have to say about living here. I know how you feel. We moved here in June and were shocked at the lack of avodas yisroel between Jews. All we heard about was this group was for this issue and this one does serve in the military and this one learns full-time. Frankly, we thought after becoming frum and moving here for a while that things would seem MORE united, not less.<BR/><BR/>I heard in school that the Gush residents were a gilgul for the shvatim that did not want to go into Eretz Yisroel. I heard that since the Gush people loved their land so much and did not want to give it up they atoned for the prior aveira of the shvatim and thus we are one step closer to moshiach, IY"H. Who knows? But I thought it was cool.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02891854868462032593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1134545197116080192005-12-14T09:26:00.000+02:002005-12-14T09:26:00.000+02:00Jeremiah 3:14-1714 Return, O backsliding children,...Jeremiah 3:14-17<BR/><BR/><I>14 Return, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am a lord unto you, and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion; 15 and I will give you shepherds according to My heart, who shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. 16 And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the LORD; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they make mention of it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more. 17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem The throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem; neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart. </I><BR/><BR/>Sometimes all you can convert is one from a city, two from a family. Do not despair. <BR/>When the right time comes, people will no longer lionize symbols, such as the ark, or our modern political parties. They will instead know the truth about God's plan and Israel's destiny, and regard Jerusalem as the city of God.<BR/>Oh, and don't worry if you can't reach every door.
